One Amazing Apartment in Rio

Spectacular mountains, beautiful white-sand beaches and the sexiest people in the world. That’s all about Rio. But today I want to show you my very special apartment in this tropical paradise, which made my trip even more unique and amazing.

Book a hotel in Brazil

We love staying in apartments or houses, not hotels, to feel the true spirit of the city. Also this time we used airbnb.com to find something special for me and my husband. This resource has never disappointed us, but this place in reality was exceeding our expectations!

We were blown away by the view that hit us when we walked into this 230 m² square open-plan "airy" penthouse.

The most wonderful thing about this penthouse – except for the bedroom, it doesn’t have walls, only columns, so you can enjoy the view and feel the tropical spirit of the city and its enormous energy.

With such views from the terrace you just don’t want to go anywhere, so we mostly stayed here with a glass of good wine.

From our terrace we could see Cristo Redentor atop Corcovado mountain. It gazes out over Rio from the 710 m height. The view of it at night, when brightly lit, is breathtaking.

This 38 m high statue is visible from every part of the city, but as all first time tourists in Rio, we went up to see it in closer perspective, and I can say that I expected it to be bigger and more impressive.

I was more impressed by the view from the Corcovado mountain.

where to eat out in Rio

Sometimes we were leaving our amazing penthouse to have some food. This city is a paradise for big eaters. There are plenty of amazing restaurants, ethnically diverse cuisine and a rich choice of farm, forest and sea food. But our choice always went for Brazil's famous all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurants. Here at famous Marius the waiters were bringing us piping hot spits of freshly roasted meat (Minions, Ribai and Skirts) nonstop, until we were so full we couldn’t move. A local tip: don’t even try the starters if you want to enjoy all the selection of meat they will bring to your table!

  • Although the Hue Tombs are doable in a day, I regretted that that was all the time I had. I would gladly have spent much longer there, exploring the tombs and strolling around the peaceful city. Due to the rainy weather, we had the place pretty much to ourselves so we were able to relax and take a lot of photos.

  • Are you looking for somewhere different to travel this year? Why not try an emerging destination? From Kazan in Russia to Manaus in Brazil, Holiday Lettings suggests some of the most up-and-coming locations to travel to in the New Year.

  • After a car trip along the Balkans I felt in love with their beauty and charm. Dubrovnik, appeared to be one of my brightest impressions. It is a city of a picturesque old town with marble streets, baroque buildings and endless shimmering of the Adriatic. This city attracts millions of tourists and many celebrities such as Tina Turner, Brian Ferry. Diego Maradona was also recently spotted here. Now I understand why.

  • For me Venice is not just a city, it’s an open-air art museum. I’ve never met a person in my life who wouldn’t be enchanted by its beauty. Now after having visited Venice for the third time, I would like to give you some rules you could follow to enjoy the most of it.

  • Malta is a beautiful, small island located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicily and the North African coast. Even though it's considered to be a small island, there are plenty of things to see and do and we want to show you some of them.

  • Travelling around Germany, you'll probably get a chuckle out of the amount of towns that have “Bad” in their names - at least I always do. But trust me, there's nothing bad about these places; “Bad” is simply used to denote that the town in question is a spa town. Recently, I had the pleasure of discovering Bad Saarow in the state of Brandenburg. Although it's located just an hour's drive from the sprawling metropolis that is Berlin, Bad Saarow might just as well be on another planet.
