I had a great time with my daughter at Marcela’s guesthouse. Even though the house is located right in the middle of Rio, close to everything, you are transported into a magical garden, apparently far from the city. We really enjoyed picking fruit at the trees, the suspended garden of orchids and the ice cold green pool, a haven in Rio’s summer. Marcela and her dog Lampi did everything to make us feel at home. We can’t wait to be back!
