Pros:

Tudo.
Sera meu recanto no Rio.
Os funcionarios sao extremamente solicitos e de uma amabilidade idem.
O proprietario Marcelo nos faz sentir como visitas especiais em sua casa.
A vista?sem palavras.
E o mar invade o quarto pelas janelas envidracadas do quarto.

Idyllic cliffside retreat with stunning views in amazingly beautiful architect designed house
Pros:

The house was that of Zinane Caldas a famous modernist Brazilian architect and is incredibly beautifully crafted with amazing views out to sea and down the coast.
The chef was amazing, so hospitable and the best food we have eaten in Brazil.

Cons:

The sightseeing helicopters flying overhead during the afternoon got a bit intense!

Pros:

Nota: 10/10 – Experiência inesquecível

Celebramos antecipadamente o Dia dos Namorados no Cliffside e foi uma experiência absolutamente perfeita do início ao fim.

Tudo impressiona: a vista deslumbrante para o mar, a arquitetura e o design cuidadosamente pensados, a integração com a natureza e a atmosfera exclusiva e acolhedora do hotel. Cada detalhe transmite sofisticação sem perder o charme e a sensação de refúgio.

O serviço merece um destaque especial. A equipa foi extremamente atenciosa, discreta e genuinamente empenhada em tornar a nossa estadia memorável. Sentimo-nos cuidados em todos os momentos.

A experiência gastronómica também foi extraordinária. Ter um chef dedicado elevou ainda mais a celebração, com pratos impecavelmente executados e apresentados, transformando cada refeição num momento especial.

O ambiente é romântico, tranquilo e perfeito para quem procura desacelerar e viver dias únicos num cenário de rara beleza.

Sem dúvida, uma das melhores experiências de hospedagem que já tivemos. Já estamos a pensar em voltar. ❤️

Ravis d’avoir découvert cet endroit magique.
Pros:

Lieu Exceptionnel, de part sa situation géographique, l’architecture élégante de la maison surplombant la mer, son mobilier d’origine de qualité, nous avions une très belle chambre avec une vue incroyable. Marcello, Gabriel et André sont particulièrement aimables, nous avons eu d’excellents petits déjeuners et Dîners gastronomiques ! La note aussi :)

Cons:

Balai d’hélicoptères dans la journée ! Surprenant

Foi uma estadia ok, mas não voltaria.
Pros:

Da vista do hotel, atendimento do host e banheiro.

Cons:

Ficamos um bom tempo sem luz na saída durante o banho. Houve uma confusão no café da manhã me servindo as escolhas de outro hóspede.
