Vila Bella Residence

The place exceeded our expectations, and we’ll definitely return. The house was spotlessly clean, carefully decorated, and so well equipped with new utensils that we didn’t miss a thing. The gym is good, the pool is beautiful, and there’s a beach tennis court and a well-equipped fire pit area. At night, the lighting makes all the spaces feel cosy. Solange, the concierge, was very attentive and supported us from before arrival through checkout.

Everything was new, spotless, and pleasantly scented, with comfortable beds and the maintenance all in order. The pool was lovely, there’s a beach volleyball court and a private barbecue, and a great supermarket is very close. The place is even prettier than the photos, with the decor, supplies, and spaces all thoughtfully arranged for guests. We had an excellent stay, and I plan to come back and recommend it to everyone. One more thing: I booked through Solange Fagundes, who was by far the best concierge we’ve had. Look her up.

We found a real gem in Vila Bella. The shared pool is lovely, and the house itself is charming, cosy, and spacious. It’s stocked with all sorts of useful things, including a coffee maker, sandwich press, blender, caipirinha kit, and pots and pans. There’s also a private barbecue. The bedrooms are roomy, the mattresses are firm, and the bedding and towels all felt brand new. Everything was impeccably clean. Ana Silvia and Cristiana were attentive, thoughtful, available, and flexible, which we really value when we travel. We recommend it and will return.

I came back after a year, and the place is still fantastic, beautiful, perfect, and fragrant. I loved it again in 2024. In 2023, everything matched the listing. The place was lovely and cosy, the cleaning was a 10 out of 10, and the outdoor area was spectacular. The service from Ana, the owner, Sol, the concierge, Fabi, who looks after the bungalow, and the caretaker was first-rate. A perfect place, highly recommended.
