The penthouse (Casa Apolo) is the whole two-level apartment for up to six, with three bedrooms and its own roof terrace. The Garden Flat sleeps five in two bedrooms with two bathrooms. The Terrace Room is a double room with its own bathroom inside the penthouse, for one or two, with breakfast on the terrace and the hosts living there.
No. It is the lower-floor bedroom of the penthouse. Guests share the kitchen, lounge and roof terrace with Paul, Laércio and Bella. Because it is part of the penthouse, a booking for one closes the other.
In the penthouse the hosts offer optional serviced packages: breakfasts, regular cleaning and a stocked bar. In the Terrace Room breakfast and welcome drinks are included.
No, the building has no lift. The penthouse is on the third and fourth floors, so expect stairs with your luggage.
Pets are allowed in the penthouse and in the Garden Flat. Paul and Laércio's own dog, Bella, lives in the penthouse.
The house rules say no parties or events. The penthouse roof has room for a small gathering around festivals, by arrangement with the hosts.
Porto da Barra beach is a short walk away; the Garden Flat's listing puts the beaches about five minutes from the door.
During Carnival, Yemanjá and other cultural events Paul and Laércio host their stays, with small welcome gatherings, and can arrange music or a reception on the penthouse roof. Ask what is planned for your dates.
