Angela and Mario’s place is beautiful and they are excellent hosts. They really went out of their way to ensure that our 1 month stay was comfortable. Their housekeeper Rosanna is amazing. She was always available when we needed her and she also babysat for us. The house is located in one of the safest places in Rio. My friends would casually take early morning and midnight walks without fear. There are also security patrol men posted on some corners and they are there 24 hours.
From the 3rd floor of the house you have an amazing view of Sugar Loaf mountain and you can see the bondinhos passing by. One of my favorite things about the house was the steam room. It is huge and works amazingly well. My daughter and Neice loved the pool and they would spend hours in there. We did encounter some ants and mosquitos in the house. There are some spaces underneath the door and in between the windows. Not enough to deter us from staying again. Thank you for a wonderful stay ❤️.
