Neighborhood

Our villa is a real jewel, with an eclectic style and a lot of very comfortable amenities that you can't find everywhere in Brazil. The pool and Aircon makes it perfect for visiting Rio during summers. The air up here is always a bit fresher than down in town. If you're interested in wildlife you are at the right place. We often get visits by toucans, different species of monkeys, falk and parrots, as well as other wildlife from the jungle. We grow our own organic produce and live a sustainable, vegan lifestyle and are happy to share this with our guests.

We live surrounded by nature on the edge of Tijuca national park with incredible views over the city. This is a perfect place to relax and live a happy healthy life, while still being in the middle of town. We have the best fresh air and climate in Rio. Our water comes directly from the springs in the mountains. You can walk out the door and into the woods. We're also situated in a very popular cycling route. Getting around from here is really easy. Thanks to Uber you reach every part of town in 15 to 20 minutes.

Uber's best and we have some drivers whom we can organize your transition with. If you come by car that's great, we have a lot of parking space for you. Taxis work well and if you want to there is public transportation, too.
