The Property — Slaviero Baía Norte
The Slaviero Baía Norte sits on the edge of the Beira-Mar Norte highway, with a no-nonsense lobby of dark wood and granite. Its main selling point is the bay view from the upper floors — you can watch the ferries cross to the mainland without leaving your room. The 3-star rating fits: the rooms are clean and functional, the breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit and tapioca, and you can walk to the Hercílio Luz Bridge in 15 minutes. This hotel suits budget-aware travellers who want a central base with an actual panorama, not frills.
Chronicles of Florianopolis
Florianópolis was founded in 1726 by settlers from the Azores, who built the fortress-studded coastline and the grid-like historic centre. The city sat quiet for two centuries, then exploded as a state capital in the 1890s with neoclassical buildings like the Public Market. In the 1970s, the Hercílio Luz Bridge ended the island’s isolation, and tourism boomed. Today it’s a modern service hub with a beach-culture core — locals call themselves manés and still speak with a sing-song Azorean accent.
Best Time to Visit
Full Florianopolis guide →Best months
October and November offer warm shoulder-season weather (22-26°C), fewer tourists, and lower room rates than summer. March is another sweet spot with settled heat and calmer seas.
Peak / festival surge
January and February are peak, driven by Brazilian summer holidays and the New Year's Eve fireworks at Beira-Mar Norte. Hotel prices can double in early January; the Carnival weekend (February 2026) adds another premium.
Budget shoulder season
Late March through May bring discounts of 30-40% versus January, with mild days and quiet beaches. September also works — spring returns, whale-watching boats operate, and the city feels half-empty.
Weather & packing
Florianópolis has a microclimate: a cold front can drop the temperature by 10°C in one afternoon, even in July. Pack a lightweight fleece or hoodie for evening breezes and a rain shell that fits in your day bag.
Live City Briefing — Florianopolis
- The main Beira-Mar Norte cycling lane was extended in 2025 from the hotel to the Rio Vermelho neighbourhood, making it safer to bike to Campeche Beach.
- Florianópolis airport (FLN) completed its new international terminal in late 2025; expect direct flights from Santiago and Buenos Aires, but check for ongoing taxi stand reorganisations.
- July 2026 falls in the southern winter; expect temperatures between 12-22°C and possibly grey skies — pack for mixed weather, not just sun.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Slaviero Baía Norte, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 6 facing the bay (south side). These higher floors reduce street rumble from Rua Felipe Schmidt and give a clear view over the marina. Mid-block rooms avoid the lift shaft noise.
Rooms to avoid
Skip rooms on floor 2 or 3 at the front (north side) — directly above the main road, traffic noise carries up. Also avoid rooms ending in '01' or '02' as they are nearest the lift lobby and service stairwell.
Best views
South-facing upper floors (4–6) overlook Baía Norte (North Bay) and the marina — the only real scenic aspect. North side rooms face a busy street and mixed-use blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 4–6 are best: high enough to mute street noise, low enough for stable lift service.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua Felipe Schmidt is a main artery with bus and taxi traffic from early morning until late evening. The hotel sits close to a roundabout, so braking and horns are common. Weekend noise from nearby bars carries until 1am.
Insider tips
1) Parking is scarce and tight — book a space at check-in or arrive before 4pm to secure one. 2) The rooftop breakfast terrace (7th floor) is worth waking for: grab a table by the glass railing for the bay view, not the internal seating.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Brazilian Real, BRL
Use bank ATMs in the centre or shopping malls for fair rates; avoid the airport and tourist exchange bureaux due to poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but smaller bars and market stalls often only take cash or Pix (local instant payment system) — contactless is common in supermarkets and chain shops.
Restaurants add 10% service charge automatically; no extra tip needed unless service is exceptional. Taxi drivers don’t expect a tip, rounding up is fine. Hotel staff: R$5–10 per bag for porters, no tip for housekeeping.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small espresso at a local padaria (bakery) costs about R$4–6.
A prato feito (set meal of rice, beans, meat and salad) at a simple lunch counter costs around R$18–25.
A main course at a neighbourhood restaurant — like frango com quiabo (chicken with okra) or fish moqueca — runs R$30–45.
Pastéis (fried pastries) and acarajé (black-eyed pea fritters) are sold at beach kiosks and in the central market on Avenida Mauro Ramos.
Supermercados Angeloni and Hipermercado Big are common budget chains in the area.
The feira hippie craft market on Avenida Mauro Ramos (Sundays) sells cheap T‑shirts and beachwear; Rua Felipe Schmidt has budget clothing shops.
A single city bus fare is R$5.50 (exact change or rechargeable card). From the airport (Hercílio Luz), take the 183 bus to the centre for R$5.10.
Eat at the university canteen near UFSC (R$10–15) for cheap lunches. Buy groceries at Angeloni rather than convenience stores. Use the cyclic bus pass (bilhete de ônibus) for unlimited transfers within an hour.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
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.
