Pousada Schmitz

Four blocks from the mouth of Barra da Lagoa's tidal channel, Pousada Schmitz sits within one of Florianópolis's most active fishing villages, where small boats unload daily catches steps from the main footbridge.

Rooms include minibar, refrigerator, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom with shower — practical for families, who can book dedicated family rooms. A convenience store and restaurant operate on site, and free parking removes the pressure of Barra da Lagoa's narrow approach roads.

The neighborhood connects to Praia da Joaquina and Lagoa da Conceição by short bus or car; the surf break at Praia Mole lies under ten minutes north. With 350 reviews averaging 9.4, the pousada consistently rates above most starred hotels in the eastern island corridor.
