The apartment was beautiful and very comfortable. We felt right at home and easily settled in. There were plenty of toys, books, magazines and dvds to keep us entertained on a rainy evening. The house is set in a beautiful garden in a very peaceful and quiet location. It feels like you are a world away from civilization, yet you are only a five minute drive to the town of Olinda with lots of cute restaurants and cafes. There were also numerous hikes available just a short drive away.
