Who we are

My parents had a restaurant with more than 50 years of tradition in a small town in Germany called Palenberg, near Aachen. When I fell in love with a Bahian woman and moved from Germany to São Paulo, working in industry, I began to idealize my pousada in Bahia, with sun, palm trees, sea, moonlit nights and countless stars.

Simply Iolanda

I'm simply Iolanda, the Bahian woman Arno fell in love with.
I'm simply Iolanda and I like the sun, I like the sea, I like painting, I like working, I like doing nothing, I like caipirinha, I like telling stories, I like loving, I like dreaming about the past... 
With this... 
With the future... 
I like this charming place...

Why the name Jambo?

Jambo is a delicately scented fruit

Jambo is fruit that is sometimes pink and sometimes jambo

Jambo is the dark color of Bahia

Jambo is sometimes the color of the rising sun

Jambo is sometimes the color of the setting sun

Jambo is a welcome wish

Jambo, sun and fresh water is sometimes all I want

Jambo is our pousada in Praia da Espera

Jambo is the color of joy.
