Our stay at Fera Palace Hotel in Salvador de Bahia was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with such gentleness and kindness that we immediately felt at home. In our rooms, we were delighted to find thoughtful details like chocolate truffles, local candies, and even a gift set of Carolina Herrera tester perfumes. Everything was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the food was absolutely delicious. The waiters were always smiling, attentive, and genuinely warm. One unforgettable detail was the hotel’s signature scent—every space smelled amazing, adding to the overall luxurious and inviting atmosphere.
