Hotels in Florianópolis

There are two very nice hotels close to Rita's house in the beach neighborhood of Campeche, on the Southeastern coast of the island of Santa Catarina. We will be reserving a block of rooms at the Pousada Tamarindo, close to the beach, and if you let us know by February 1, we will ask one of these rooms for you. The cost is about $40 per night. The Hotel São Sebastião, also close to the Campeche Beach, is also a very nice option, if you prefer something a little more expensive and luxurious.

Hotel in Braço do Norte

There is only one hotel in Braço do Norte, and we will make reservations there if you RSVP by February 1. The cost is about $30 per night.

If you will have your own car, there is another option: in nearby Termas de Gravatal, there is a nice hot spring resort, with thermal water pumped directly into tubs in every room. It is more expensive and about 20 minutes from Braço do Norte, but it does provide an option for those that want one. http://www.grupogravatal.com.br

Food

In the United States, “Brazilian Cuisine” means meat, but in Brazil, food is much more diverse. Close to the hotels on the Praia de Campeche, you can find a very good pizzeria, several places for seafood, and a number of bars where you can get a very cold beer and a snack. In Lagoa, about 10 minutes away by car, there are several excellent restaurants, ranging from sushi to Arabic to Mexican. At the wedding reception, we will serve buffalo steaks and many traditional dishes from the south of Brazil but there will also be vegetarian options.
