Santa Tereza Bed & Breakfast (*)

     If you enjoy staying with the "locals", consider a B&B in the historic Santa Tereza section of Rio de Janeiro. An older couple who speak English, German and French, have a guest room in their home suitable for one person or a couple. Their apartment is in the heart of Santa Tereza, close to restaurants and the Tram Museum, with easy access to the "Centro" with the centenary Street Car crossing the aqueduct of Lapa. There is internet access along with a relaxing garden.

     Arraial do Cabo - House for rent for professionals working offshore in Macaé area.

     If you are working offshore near the Macaé area and are looking for a nice house to rent for you and your Family or even a group of technicians, this can be a very good option for a nice, quiet place off the beaten path, but not too far from Macaé with a good regular bus service to/from Arraial do Cabo. Think about renting a house in Arraial do Cabo, a small fishing village about 60 miles from Macaé and 100 miles east of Rio. Here you can recover your energy, tan yourself to perfection, or simply recharge your batteries. The sea water is a beautiful, non-polluted azure blue and teems with aquatic life. Best of all, Arraial do Cabo is small enough that you can do everything on foot. The house has 3 bedrooms, one of which is a suite. There are two bathrooms, an outside fully equipped kitchen, a barbecue pit, and a veranda with a hammock. The house is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood just minutes from the beach and the bus terminal. All windows have screens to keep out eventual mosquitoes.
