I will add our names to the list of entirely positive reviews here. Our family of four found this place to be comfortable and secluded, and we were very well taken care of by Beatriz, her husband, and her staff. The garden is beautiful, there is a lovely swimming pool, and the bungalow is architecturally compelling and harmoniously integrated with its surroundings. The only drawback is that there are no amenities such as shops or restaurants within a short walking distance, but the taxis are inexpensive and if you want to see Rio you will have to take cabs regardless of where you stay. We would not hesitate to recommend this rental, and will look forward to returning if we are ever again in Rio de Janeiro.
