The Property — Pousada Drops de Aniz
This is a small, lime-green pousada in the residential Lagoa da Conceição neighbourhood, with a courtyard pool and a bar that doubles as reception. The rooms are simple but clean, tiled floors, decent air-con, and the vibe is low-key social — you can hear the chatter from the pool as you check in. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a base near the lagoon and don't need frills; the owner often has good local tips.
Chronicles of Florianopolis
Florianópolis was founded officially in 1726 as Desterro, a colonial outpost on an island settled by Azorean Portuguese. Its old town still has 18th-century whitewashed churches and cobbled streets, though 20th-century bridges (the iconic Hercílio Luz) linked it to the mainland and drove growth. Today it's a mix of laid-back island life and a fast-growing tech hub, with about 500,000 residents who fiercely guard their surfing beaches and seafood traditions.
Best Time to Visit
Full Florianopolis guide →Best months
March and April — the summer heat (30°C+) fades to mid-20s, the tourist rush is over, and the sea is still warm. Late November is also good for pre-summer warmth and empty beaches.
Peak / festival surge
December to February, especially January and the Carnaval period (February/March). Floripa gets packed with Argentinian and Brazilian tourists; hotel prices double or triple, and traffic into Lagoa da Conceição can be brutal. New Year's Eve (Réveillon) at Praia Mole is the big draw.
Budget shoulder season
June and July are the best shoulder months: winter brings mild 18–22°C days, far fewer crowds, and room rates can be 40% lower than peak. It's still sunny enough for a walk on the beach, and you'll have restaurants to yourself.
Weather & packing
June in Floripa is the driest month statistically, but a cold front can roll in from the south, dropping the temperature to 12°C overnight. Pack layers: a light sweater for evenings, a waterproof jacket, and still bring sandals for the daytime sun.
Live City Briefing — Florianopolis
- The Hercílio Luz Bridge restoration finished in 2023, and it's now open to pedestrians and cyclists on weekends — a great photo spot with views across to the mainland.
- Construction on the new Florianópolis airport terminal (Floripa Airport) expansion is ongoing, but the main runway is unaffected. Expect more domestic routes from April 2026.
- From June 2026, the city is trialling a paid parking zone in Lagoa da Conceição to reduce summer gridlock — if you're hiring a car, check for digital permits.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pousada Drops de Aniz, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Ground-floor rooms facing the inner courtyard garden. Quieter than street-side rooms and you avoid stairs completely.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms at the front of the ground floor facing Rua das Gaivotas – possible street noise from the residential road, especially early morning or late evening.
Best views
Courtyard garden view. The side and front views look onto a residential street and neighbouring properties, so garden side is the most pleasant.
Quietest floors
All rooms are on the ground floor. Upper-level garden is only a leisure area, no guest rooms up there.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua das Gaivotas is a quiet residential street but can have occasional traffic and pedestrian noise. No lift means footfall in corridors is more noticeable. The side door (step-free entrance) is used by staff and guests and can rattle.
Insider tips
1. Parking is first-come, first-served for only 8 cars – arrive early or use Praça da Lagoa car park (R$25 per 12h) a short walk away. 2. Request a courtyard-facing ground-floor room when booking for quietest stay. No lift, so any room is ground floor, but garden side is best.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Florianopolis Airport → Pousada Drops de Aniz
💡 Airport Uber has a separate pick-up zone to the right of the main exit. 99Pop is usually 15–20% cheaper but drivers are less likely to accept the long route. On peak summer weekends, double the estimated time.
Florianopolis Airport (Hercílio Luz) → Pousada Drops de Aniz (Praia Brava)
💡 Buy a fixed-price voucher at the airport booth right after baggage claim to avoid surge or meter games. The trip north is about 45km—longer if traffic hits the bridges.
TICEN (Central Bus Terminal, Florianopolis centre) → Praia Brava (final stop, 200m from pousada)
💡 This air-conditioned line runs via the north coast and drops you right at the beach. Buy a rechargeable bus card at TICEN—cash is not accepted onboard. Don't take the cheaper 331; it's slower and stops further inland.
Florianopolis Airport → Praia Brava (hotel drop-off)
💡 These vans run from the airport exit and serve the north beaches. Look for the 'Praia Brava' sign. They're cheaper than a taxi and almost as fast, but don't accept credit cards inside the van—carry small notes in reais.

Top Attractions in Florianopolis
💡 Try the oyster bar at Box 42. Six oysters cost about R$15. Avoid the souvenir stalls outside—they mark up prices for tourists.
💡 For the best free view, hike the short trail up Morro da Lagoa at sunset. The path starts behind the church in the village centre.
💡 Arrive before 10am on weekends to get a parking spot near the dunes. Bring sunscreen and water; there are few shade options.
💡 Combine this with a walk along the nearby Praia do Forte beach. On clear days you can see the mainland mountains. Bring a picnic; there are benches on the fortress walls.
💡 Entry costs R$10 (about £1.50). Go early morning or late afternoon when the light is golden and the sand is cool. The trail to the ocean lookout is 1.5km and takes about 30 minutes.
