Bossa Nova! As electrifying, colorful and dynamic as the pulse of this exciting city, this penthouse is a dynamic fusion of contrasting textures and details. With such a bold design ethos this unique duplex is perhaps the most beautiful penthouse in Ipanema. Many celebrated (and not so famous!) guests have loved relaxing amid the chic ,retro and slightly quirky ambience on offer here.I also have welcomed many esteemed architects and designers,for example,who truly appreciate what sets this project apart from the rest of the market.

Located in the heart of Ipanema’s very best neighbourhood, relax in your own exclusive hideaway perched high above the trees and the action.Situated along a peaceful leafy residential street, this mid-century style penthouse occupies the top two levels of a modern and architecturally distinguished building. Thrill to the iconic and panoramic views of mountains, the Christ statue and the city below.

Highly recommended and featured in 'Boutique Homes','The Sunday Times' magazine(UK) , 'Savoteur' and 'Living Etc' (the biggest selling modern homes magazine in the UK).
Twice winner of the Best Private Rental in Rio in the LUX Awards.

The double height layout means there are areas to share and areas for privacy.
The main living and dining spaces feature a balcony overlooking the treeline and streets below along with the fully equipped kitchen and both a double bedroom,shower room and a smaller en-suite single bedroom.
The upper floor features the large en-suite master bedroom and dressing area along with a private sitting room off of the main terrace.Great to have your own private domain, apart from other guests below on the first floor. Equipped with a heated Jacuzzi,designer recliner and dining table for four, this is the spot for stunning views of the famous Mt. .Corcovado’s Christ the Redeemer.

SPECIAL FEATURES:- include 24 hr. concierge and security,, superfast Wifi throughout,split air units throughout,,2 LCD HD TVs , curated art collection, ,free parking for 2 cars,washing machine and separate dryer.

The interiors are a fun and colorful mix of elements and period design creating a distinctively Brazilian character. The apartment is even located in the same street as former resident ,the legendary “The Girl from Ipanema” composer Antonio Carlos Jobim.Just some of the many artists represented include Aoleo,Oscar Niemeyer,Carlos Sena,Chico Fernandes and Andy Warhol.Furnishings includes work by world renown designers Eileen Gray, Florence Broadhurst,Sergio Rodrigues,Vivienne Westwood and Giuseppe Scapinelli.

Situated in a calm tree lined residential street referred to by locals as the “noble” area of Ipanema, you are ideally placed just adjacent to Rua Vinicius de Morais in the safest part of the city. Just four blocks from the beach and a couple of blocks from the Lagoa and the main thoroughfare, this is the very best area within Ipanema. You will love the convenience of being directly parallel and just 350 meters (5 minute walk) to Post 9 on the beach,generally regarded as the absolute apex of Carioca beach culture.

The pulsing beat and joie de vivre of overlapping cultures is the charm of Rio, from the vibrant Copacabana on the south side and the twisting density of the favelas, to the dizzying action of downtown and the fashionable coastal beaches,the vibrant rhythms and diversity of the city are captivating. Surrounded by tropical rainforest with the iconic Sugarloaf monolith and Mt. Corcovado’s Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city, this world famous town is everything and more.



The building has 24hr front of house doorman security,all public areas are subject to surveillance cameras and the building is fully gated.You have a personal electronic safe in the master bedroom.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a residential family building, not an apartment hotel.This is strictly NOT the environment for sexual tourism.Inviting people you don't know on to the premises can place your fellow guests at risk and compromise the safety and security of other residents. If you wish to invite a guest please notify me in advance.Thank you for your understanding.

Finally this unique property is suffused with the natural scenic grandeur of Rio.Being a penthouse also means the apt. is flooded with light (many Rio apts. can be dark due to so many tall buildings facing each other).

If you wish to make a booking please forward flight details if applicable, projected arrival and departure times and the names of all guests.The person making the booking needs to send photo ids of the guests staying(passport/drivers licence).This is required by local laws and the building management.
Upon booking you will be sent very detailed info on the best of local attractions and a practical guide to the penthouse itself.

Perfect location, great communication, all the help in a foreign country. Loved it!
This condo is in a fantastic location. Great restaurants, walking distance to Ipanema beach, walking to Lagoa, bikes and scooters easy accessible. The view of Christ the Redeemer, off of the penthouse, balcony! Jacuzzi tub, outside! Organized our rides to and from the airport. Felt perfectly safe. Enjoyed our time, first time in Rio, and loved every moment of it! Thank you!

Beautiful, hip and comfortable lounge... next door to a school
I'm surprised no one else has said this in their reviews so I'm going to lead with it. This place is amazing but it is very noisy. We absolutely loved our stay and everything about the place is absolutely wonderful, but it is right next door to a very loud elementary school so from early morning to mid afternoon there is constant kid screaming, laughing, playing. If you're out and about doing the tourist thing from the early morning onward this won't be a problem. If you're taking in some of Rio's excellent night life and plan to sleep in, that could be a problem. If you're planning on sticking around the apartment during the day like we did while we were preparing some work, the noise can be absolutely mind numbing. This is no fault of the owner and in fact there are white noise generators in every room in the house. The balcony is wonderful, amazing views. The place has all the amenities you would need. The internet and wifi worked great. We really enjoyed our stay with the exception of the noise.

This trip was Amazing!
I have spent a lot of time in Rio over the past 15 years and this trip was by far the best. Alastair was great throughout the entire process, from accommodating a few requests that simplified our stay, scheduling reasonable trustworthy car service and providing a complete guide of the home, neighborhood and attractions. The guide gave my family great ideas for day trips and we did things we typically would not have done. The location of the home and views could not be better and the home was large for the area with incredible views. Most of all, the decor was unique, beautiful and we felt like we were home after a day of excursions or the beach. We will definitely stay again. Ryan B (Nashville, TN)

Top situation in Ipanema !
Second time there! The penthouse is decorated with the bossa nova style! Very cool, funky (if new, epurated modern style apartments are not what you are looking for). Situated in one the best street in Ipanema, Close to the beach (post 9) and safe. There is always a guard there! The manager Ellie speaks English (great!).The owner is a trustable person and easy to deal with! I had a great time there!

Fantastic apartment in great location
What a great apartment in a top location!!! Just returned from a 10 day stay in Rio. We had an amazing time in Rio and Ipanema where this apartment is located is THE place to stay in Rio. The apartment is huge and spread over two levels with a large balcony and to top it all off a great outdoor terrace with jacuzzi and view of Cristo Redentor. It was great being able to head upstairs and enjoy the view with a nice cold beer or glass of wine after a hard day on the beach or sightseeing. Alastair the owner was fantastic and answered any questions leading up to the booking and upon arrival very promptly. He also provided a great Rio guide with so many suggestions on things to do, whether it was restaurants, bars, tours and even the best store for bikini shopping (4 bikinis later). We tried most of them and he was spot on. His staff at the apartment were absolutely charming and Ellie his local manager went out of her way to assist with restaurant bookings and tour recommendations and bookings. Would not hesitate to stay there again and wish I was still there. Highly recommend. Thank you Alastair and to the great team you have.

Christmas in Ipanema
We had a wonderful stay here over the Christmas holiday! The restaurants nearby were amazing, and we spend nearly every day at the beach. We would love to stay again some time soon!
