Review
For those who don’t have to be right next to the beach, Pousada Etnia is a small hotel near Trancoso’s Quadrado. The palm shaded property features eight themed bungalows, most of which are named after exotic locales; and all of which have mosquito net-draped beds. The Marrocos room has white-washed walls and Arabic design elements. In the Tribal cottage, wooden African spears hang over stools with leopard-pattern upholstery. The pousada, or main house, fronts a small pool and is known for its stylish boutique (now located on the Quadrado), and hammocks are strategically hung from palms in serene spots. Children under 14 years are not allowed.
