This place was absolutely amazing. We stayed during high season (december 28- January 5) and still got to Copacabana/Ipanema in no more than 20-30 minutes every time we went. The main pool is stunning, hands-down the best view of any place I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. Very spacious, very comfortable and privacy for everyone. 2 master bedrooms that are both incredible, one has its own pool ! The property managers were extremely helpful, the chefs and housekeeping were great and the gated community was very safe. Super close to Joatinga beach and Barra beach (about 3 minute and 5 minute drives). Could not speak more highly of this listing, I was afraid the pictures were too good to be true, but they were accurate. Thanks so much, we had a great time.
