Denise's home is a rare gem. A beautiful 1920s building, with original features, overlooking the city. It is a haven, where you can sit and read and chat to the other guests. Denise is such a kind host, I so loved having breakfast with her - always delicious- and if you need anything she is there to help. The local area is a really beautiful community, if Rio can be a little daunting at times, this is a place to come back to. Make sure you get Denise to organise a car for you from the airport and get tips from about how to travel around and what routes to take, as safety is really important here. Cant wait to come back though. xxxx
