Beatriz and Roberto’s wonderful ‘treehouse’ offers a rare and unique opportunity to stay in a peaceful and totally secluded part of central Rio. Botafogo is a great neighbourhood for exploring a more vibrant local scene of the city. It is hard to believe this place is within this bustling area; the Capuchin monkeys, parakeets, and the resident Jacu kept my 5yo son especially entertained in the mornings. The initial welcome, continued care from Beatriz and her family and this true experience of nature that she has created over her lifetime within a city will stay with us forever, and we look forward to coming back.
