We had the most wonderful time at Ion & Shelia’s beautiful home. At the heart of this was their warmth & care for us. It was just what we needed after our long journey & helped us relax away from our busy lives. We loved the location in Santa Teresa, and the proximity to bars & restaurants in Lago das neves is perfect. Our children loved the swimming pool & the nature all around us. The property is homely, has lots of character & is equipped with everything you need. It is an oasis in the heart of Rio. We cannot recommend their home enough & would love to return
