Sergio was an EXCELLENT host! He was very informative, enthusiastic and welcoming. The location was nice- quite peaceful yet very close to everything you need/want (beach, grocery, restaurants, shopping). The villa felt familial because of the close proximity of rooms which was great for meeting others. The room wasn't quite as pristine as it appeared in the pictures posted, but otherwise an accurate post. Also, don't expect to cook much of anything due to the limited amenities in the kitchen. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! Make sure to attend the caipirinhas lesson!
