“Boa, pelos anfitrões e pela vista do mar, média/ruim pelo conforto e acesso. Honestamente, não retornaria.”
The hosts were very attentive and friendly, always present yet discreet, and we were helped quickly with everything we needed. We also enjoyed a stunning view of the sea, the pool, and a brand‑new, well‑equipped room. The funicular that takes you to the rooms is a charm in itself. We stayed at Casa Gaia for three nights, and for about half of that time we didn’t have hot water. The hosts said the heating had problems and offered no alternative, only patience. The water coming out of the taps had a light brown colour (see attached bathtub photo), which was not very inviting. Mr. Pieter assured us that the colour wouldn’t harm our health, but it still felt odd. The place is also not very welcoming to get to; part of the path has steep slopes that are hard to navigate on rainy days, and there is no street lighting for part of the walk, which made some night departures difficult. Local taxis warned that they usually avoid trips to the neighbourhood when possible. Moreover, the route is still under several Sabesp works, adding to the difficulty. Finally, the breakfast is served separately, as advertised, for 180 reais. It serves two people, is carefully prepared, but is simple and not worth the price.
