Pousada Burundanga
Guilherme Delmont
The owner of this hotel is considered one of the best hosts in Itacaré. He had always wanted to have a hotel and that is one of the reasons that make him take care of each and every detail himself.Guilherme Delmont was born in the state of São Paulo and decided to build a hotel in Bahia when he got married in 1971. In 1999 he and his wife Vera Lucia decided to choose where they would set their business. After travelling for 40 days all over the coast in Bahia, they have found Itacaré and fell love at the first sight. One year later, they built a hotel there.
The hotel is very small with only 10 apartments and a few people working there. The owners help to take care of everything: from running errands to going to the bank, as well as staying in the reception and helping to fix something if it is needed. Guilherme is an engineer and had worked in Brasília for 10 years (from 1975 to 1985). Now he dedicates himself to his business as he consider very important to have a good relationship with his guests.
Guilherme fell in love with the community of Itacaré, especially after his daughter married a local capoeira instructor and gave him two grandchildren. He also supports a local band that plays "forró". He said he really likes the local people because of their hospitality and he also like the nature there. When he has some free time, he likes to make and teach manual crafts to the community. He does not charge anything for these lessons and use recycled materials to create his art.
