The Villa in Copacabana - 8 Bedrooms / Private POOL / CHEF
10 REASONS TO CHOOSE THIS PROPERTY
START BY READING THE REVIEWS - BEST WAY TO LEARN WHY WE STAND OUT.
1. HOMEAWAY HIGHEST RATING IN RIO DE JANEIRO - Their only premium Partner The most reviewed for years all FIVE STAR
2. PERFECT FOR 2 People or 22 - we have the Cottage, the Villa, or rent both together
3. COMPLETE SERVICE - Housekeeping, Chef, Concierge DAILY
4. SECURITY - Private GATED street of 14 owners villas.
This is an unusual mansion in that it is occupied by the owner and rented only when his family is not there. He happens to be a Michigan State University Hotel School Grad . The compound of buildings tends to be run like a great hotel would be. You can be left alone and cook for yourself or use as you would a five star hotel - YOUR CHOICE
5. LOCATION - The exact center of Copacabana - 100 feet from subway -5 minutes from beach -5 minutes Copcabana Palace Hotel. When sun goes down the beach is empty but our four corners pulse with energy
6. 5 STAR HOTEL AMENITIES - we give 7 DAYS A WEEK full time housekeeping and can provide optional great cooking from our staff - our Head Housekeeper lives across the street and has for 40 years. If you need a 6am coffee service or a midnight tidy up - its easy for us .We have a complete catering menu, full list of tours and events, favorite restaurant picks, and full time concierge. Or you can cook for yourself - we have a chefs kitchen - ideal for you. We have bikes, drivers, and everything you need to make a party. At home beauty and spa service Manicure, Pedicure, beautician, and massage available. The SPA at the Copacabana Palace Hotel has full range of services. Our local gym is one block away.
7. SWANK TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN YET TOTALLY UP TO DATE New skylight roof just installed September 2019.
It may look like an old mansion but the villa was built and finished in 2007. The cottage is one of the original Copacabana granite miners houses. At the foot of our mews is the cliff and mountains of the long closed granite mines.
The newest addition to the villa is the 4 room - two floor - POOL HOUSE which was just finished July 20 2019. It is next to the two floor BALI SUITE. Gardens are always being totally redone and dozens of new orchids, vines, and now 5 new Jaboticaba trees planted - so you can pick your fresh Brazilian fruit daily.
8. WE ARE PICKY ABOUT DETAILS. ALWAYS REDECORATING, REFURBISHING, AND MAINTAINING. ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW. Check our instagram
We love a great party and have samba dancers, musicians,a resident bartender and because of the large size of the mansion your party can rock til wee hours - and neighbors not disturbed. Being great neighbors is VIP for us. State of the art air conditioning, smart energy. Incredible wifi - extensive cable service - and poolside television for night time movies and sports. GOOGLE devices in all bedrooms.
9. FOOD SERVICE - Not much point in renting a big space if there is no local restaurant for breakfast or you have to go out for a great dinner when after a beach or tour day you would rather be at home. You can work with our cook to have a inexpensive over the top experience in our dining rooms. Ask to see a PDF file of photos from some of our dinners. We buy local from our farmers market and the fishermans quarter. In addition we can help you choose the restaurants in RIo we consider GREAT without breaking your family budget. Guests seem to love it when we take them shopping. BUT FOR SURE - we know how to leave you alone when you want total privacy and only a daily cleaning.
10. WE CAN RISE TO THE OCCASION> There have been many weddings, corporate meetings, and reunions. We housed the grad business school of University of San Diego, the Tolstoy family reunion from Russia, a huge childrens group from a Texas church for the pope's visit, groups of visiting young athletes and performers. We have seen it all. After you reserve - we can forward you full PDF of our menu, our tour and event offerings and a couple of new music videos which were filmed at the villa this spring. The videos really showcase the magic and incredible lighting of the villa. search youtube for - E DELA QUE EU GOSTO to see much of the villa interiors..
EXPLORE OUR REVIEWS (the best way to see what awaits you) -- OUR PHOTOS -- OUR DRAWINGS --AND ASK US ANY QUESTIONS TO HELP GUIDE YOUR CHOICE.
The photos and videos show it best. The 3D floor plans will help you determine if the layout will work for you. We have an extensive drone video of our beach - our street and neighborhood being edited now. THe drone leaves the beach - enters the front gate and you see our little street - our houses - the pool and gardens - and enter and see the complete house and cottage. It is being edited and we should be able to have on this site soon. until then the unedited aerials gives you an idea.
