I have stayed in a few places around Rio for the past month but this was definitely the best. Our room was gorgeous and the whole family was so welcoming, as was everyone in the neighbourhood.
You wouldn't get a better view at a 5 star hotel- we spent a lot of time on the top floor in the hammocks, plus Vera provided a delicious breakfast up there every morning. It was a great spot for meeting likeminded travellers staying in the other rooms, and we all enjoyed the pool table. Only a few minutes walk down the hill to Leme Beach and a bunch of cute restaurants and cafes.
This place should be booked out 24/7. Thanks for a wonderful stay, miss it already!
