I would definitely recommend Pedra Bonita to anyone looking for a quiet, tranquil spot in Rio, just a few minutes from the beach and a short taxi ride to Ipanema and Copacabana. My friends and I stayed at Georgette's for seven days and it was a wonderful experience. There were 9 of us, virtually a full house, but Georgette and Michael were there to accommodate all of our needs, including serving multiple breakfasts at whatever time suited us. The breakfast was very nice, with juice, coffee, tea, eggs, fruit, toast with jams, and ham and cheese.
My friends and I occupied three separate rooms: one with two beds, one with three beds, and one with four beds. Each room has a separate bathroom. The only complaint was that the rooms with two and three beds have air conditioning, but the larger room with four beds does not. I believe this is the room that says can sleep 5-8 people. Although there are several portable fans in the room it can be quite hot and sticky in the room at night. I would recommend staying in the rooms with air conditioning if possible.
Overall, the house has a beautiful view of the ocean and surrounding mountains and my friends and I felt extremely comfortable and safe there. Thanks very much for a wonderful week Georgette!
