La proprietà — GreenHouse Hostel
GreenHouse Hostel sits on a quiet lane in Lagoa da Conceição, a 10-minute walk from the lagoon's main strip. The common area has a bright, airy feel with exposed brick, hammocks, and a small pool; it suits solo travellers and couples who want a sociable base with decent private rooms rather than a party hostel. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, with staff who know the island well and offer practical advice on bus routes and hiking trails.
Cronache di Florianopolis
Florianópolis was officially founded in 1726 as Nossa Senhora do Desterro, a Portuguese settlement on Santa Catarina Island. Its colonial core, now the historic centre, retains 18th‑century forts and churches, while the 20th‑century construction of the Hercílio Luz Bridge in 1926 linked the island to the mainland and triggered steady growth. By the 1970s, surfing culture had taken hold, and the city reinvented itself as a laid‑back destination balancing tech‑industry expansion (the 'Silicon Island' of Brazil) with strong Azorean influences in its fishing villages and lace‑making traditions. Today, the city is a mix of modern high‑rises along the northern beaches and preserved colonial architecture in the south, with a deeply eco‑conscious vibe.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Florianopolis →I migliori mesi
March, April and November offer warm, stable weather (22–28°C) with lower humidity and far fewer tourists than the peak season. The sea is still pleasant for swimming, and you'll find quieter beaches and better availability at hostels.
Peak / Festival Surge
Peak runs from mid‑December through February, driven by Brazilian summer holidays, Carnival (February 2026) and international surf events. Hotel and hostel prices roughly double; advance booking is essential. The city's population swells with visitors, so expect crowded buses and packed beaches, especially at Praia Mole and Joaquina.
Stagione di spalla
The best shoulder months are March, April, October and November — the weather is still good, but crowds drop sharply. Hostels offer 20–30% discounts, and you can find last‑minute availability. May and June are quieter still, though cooler and rainier.
Meteo e imballaggio
Winter (July) in Florianópolis averages 14–20°C, with possible cold fronts bringing drizzle and wind — it's not tropical beach weather. Pack a mid‑layer fleece or jumper, a lightweight waterproof jacket, and long trousers; shorts are only useful on rare sunny afternoons.
Briefing della città — Florianopolis
- The Lagoa da Conceição bus terminal was renovated in late 2025, adding a direct express line to the city centre (TILAG) that cuts travel time to 30 minutes. Check current schedules as frequencies vary in the low season.
- A new cycle lane linking Lagoa to the dunes at Joaquina beach opened in early 2026; bikes can be rented from hostels. The route is mostly flat and takes 20 minutes.
- July is the calmest month for tourism in Florianópolis, so many beachside kiosks and bars are closed or run reduced hours — plan to eat at established restaurants in Lagoa or the centre rather than on the sand.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to GreenHouse Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard (if available) — these are far enough from the street to avoid traffic noise from Rua Pau de Canela, which is a residential side street but still carries some morning and evening vehicle movement. Mid-level floors (2-3) also put you above street-level bustle but don't require climbing many stairs if the lift is small or slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street — Rua Pau de Canela is narrow, so you'll hear pedestrian chatter, car doors slamming, and occasional motorbikes. Also avoid rooms directly adjacent to the reception or common area if you're a light sleeper; hostels can have late-night social noise.
Best views
The best view is likely from upper-floor rooms facing the rear or side — you'll see local rooftops and maybe a glimpse of green hillsides. Street-facing rooms just look at the opposite buildings on Rua Pau de Canela.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest — far enough from street level and common areas, but not near any rooftop or upper-floor service zones.
🔊 Noise notes
Rua Pau de Canela is a local residential street in Florianopolis, so it's not a major arterial road. Main noise sources: morning motorbikes, garbage collection (usually early), and neighbours' dogs. Weekend evenings may have louder social activity as guests return from the beach.
Insider tips
1. The street parking on Rua Pau de Canela is limited and often fills by early evening — if you're driving, aim to arrive before 4pm to secure a spot, or ask the hostel about paid off-street parking nearby. 2. Check-in can be slow during peak season (Dec-Feb) — try to arrive mid-afternoon rather than the busy 5-7pm window when multiple groups arrive at once.
- 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

Get a travel card →Brazilian Real, BRL
Use ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist areas—they charge terrible rates.
Contactless cards and mobile pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) are widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants and shops; carry some cash for small stalls and beach kiosks.
Restaurants usually include a 10% service charge (couvert) – you can add a little extra if service was great. Taxis: rounding up is fine. Hotel staff: R$5-10 per bag or per day for housekeeping.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A small espresso (cafézinho) at any padaria (bakery) costs about R$4-6.
A prato feito (set meal of rice, beans, meat, salad and farofa) at a local lanchonete runs around R$20-25.
An affordable main dish at a casual restaurant (e.g. a grilled fish or chicken with sides) is about R$35-50.
Pastel de feira (fried pastry filled with meat/cheese) and açaí bowls from street carts or small shops are the go-to cheap eats.
Supermercados like Rede Top, Angeloni or Hipermercado Big are common in the area.
For budget clothes, try the shopping mall (e.g. Floripa Shopping) or the open-air markets (feiras) like the one at Lagoa da Conceição.
A single bus ride is about R$5.40; for airport, take the public bus (e.g. line 186 or 107) from the airport to the city for ~R$5.40 (taxis cost R$80+).
Eat at prato-feito places for lunch, not tourist restaurants. Drink tap water (filtered is common) – buy reusable bottles. Use buses instead of taxis/Uber for longer trips.

Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Florianopolis, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at GreenHouse Hostel
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Girare intorno
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.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
