We loved our stay at Casa Beleza! Really welcoming hosts and amazing location. We weren't expecting to be there for carnival but the dates moved so we were lucky to experience some of it! Bindu helped us buy tickets for a parade at the sambadrome, and the next day there was a bloco that came down the street outside the house! Breakfast is absolutely delicious and changed each day. The garden is a little paradise - we loved watching the hummingbirds and the pool is a real treat. Santa Teresa is a really interesting neighbourhood with lots of colourful street art and bars/restaurants on the doorstep. Thanks Bindu and Antoine for a lovely start to our holiday :)
