Beautiful surroundings, amazing apartment and a lovely host! Piero and his family were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly during our stay. The views are exactly as they are in the photos and better. The apartment is on the very top floor, giving you the complete penthouse experience. And although the family are usually just downstairs to answer any questions, the layout and stairs leading up to our own private balcony offered more than enough privacy. We Will definitely return if we are ever in Rio again and would recommend this to anyone. Thanks so much for your lovely hospitality
