The place was fantastic! It was exactly as we expected it would be from the description and we instantly felt at home there. The rooms were very comfortable and we settled right in. The outdoor kitchen and the gorgeous salt water pool made the place feel extra special and exciting to us, and my daughter especially enjoyed eating outside and watching the birds and other little creatures. The house provided a wonderful experience of indoor/outdoor living that we don't get at home!
Theresa was very accommodating with our early arrival and late departure, and our hosts provided excellent advice and recommendations throughout our stay.
Santa Teresa is a beautiful area and I was so glad we decided to stay there while visiting Rio for the first time. The restaurants, shops and even the streets themselves provided a great place to explore and a nice, quiet place to return to after a day roaming around the rest of beautiful Rio! It's a little far from the major tourist and beach areas, which suited us just fine. Getting around the city and to and from the beaches was very easy.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a slightly different experience in Rio and I definitely hope to be back again someday!
