This is literally the most beautiful home I have ever been to. From the stunning marble interior to the absolutely breathtaking views (that you can enjoy from every angle of the home), it was absolutely exceptional. You will literally never want to leave because almost no view in Rio is better than this one. We spent a lot of time enjoying the pool and the house was spacious enough for our 10 guests (we had 1 extra cot brought in). We made breakfast most mornings and the house was equipped with all the necessities.
The only reason I do not give the stay 5 stars is because of the service at the house, not the house itself. We did not have a maid service which we thought was included in our costly nightly rate. We ran out of toilet paper half way through the trip and no one came to re-fill. We were given towels for the pool only after we had requested them (so the first days we did not have pool towels). And the pool was never cleaned out when we were there (for 1 week) so would collect leaves.
Other than the service that could have been a little better for the price we paid, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Rio. Very safe and definitely the highlight of our trip.
