Marjon has created a corner of paradise high on the mountain of Santa Teresa. We stayed in an architect-designed tower with breathtaking views across to the Christ Redentor. The tower is beautifully decorated with traditional Brazilian tiles and simple fabrics, pictuers and artefacts to create a comfortable and charming environment in the midst of a lush tropical garden. Marjon is a lovely host, warm, welcoming and very helpful with tips for visits and eateries. A constant flow of buses from just outside takes you to and from the city centre effortlessly. Watch out for the troops of monkeys - they are delightful to watch but shameless thieves! Despite warnings from Marjon we put out our breakfast fruit on the table in the open air kitchen and within minutes the marauders had snatched it all. We learned the hard way!
