Isabella and Paolo will be amongst the finest people you are likely to meet in your journey through life, so meeting them while travelling is a pure and unexpected joy. Deeply respectful, vastly interesting, incredibly generous Isa and Paolo are sensational hosts and we thoroughly and whole heartedly recommend their B&B.

Their location on a hill above Lapa gives easy access to the Samba District of Rio, Ok, they do live a top a long steep set of stairs (great exercise) but this is easily negotiated by a yellow taxi for about 7-8 Reals from the "Aqueduct" looking bridge in Lapa. There are great views to the city and Cathedral, its relatively quite and surprisingly in a very nice green belt right in the City. The room is lovely with a good en-suite.

Breakfast is incredible! Be sure to ask Isa for the Apple Cake - incredible! Great home made smoothies, home made yoghurt, and delicious treats from the Bakery.

An outstanding experience and stay!
