I must confess: I considered leaving a bad review so that I would keep this wonderful place a secret. What a hidden gem. Perfectly located on a hill overlooking a beautiful bay and surrounded by creative people of all kinds, Paolo&Isa's place couldn't be more Santa Teresa-ish. Quiet, and yet in the heart of Lapa's action. Nearby the best Santa Teresa's restaurants and bars, next door to a coffee-making (barista) school and a few steps up from bustling Gloria area, the spot was just perfect.
The house is a clean, artsy and charming two-story, and the room is spacious, cool, well equipped and with in-suite bathroom, with big windows and a stunning view.
Paolo and Isa live in the house with Isa's son and their friendly (and well-behaved) little dog. What can I say about them? They are just fantastic people. People that you wish there were more of in the world. Easy-going, smart, nice, loving people. I would say it's worth staying there just because of them. Even if you're staying somewhere else, you should stop by and pay them a visit ;) Lovely breakfast too, included in the price.
Highly recommended.
