We stayed in Brazil for 54 days between Dec23 and Jan24 and had a great time! We spent 2 weeks in Bahia – I told more details here -, after many days in Rio and at the beginning of January/24, we took a 5-day trip to SP and another 6-day trip to Búzios. In this post, I will talk about our 5 days with the family at my brother's house near Riviera St. Lawrence, on the coast of São Paulo, more precisely in a place called Guaratuba.
Arriving in Sampa
We took a flight from Santos Dumont (RJ) to Congonhas on January 11, 2024 and when we got there, we went straight to Moved pick up our rental car for this season. We went to see my brother's new apartment and have lunch there, and in the middle of the afternoon we hit the road towards the house on the beach.
Location of the house on the coast of São Paulo
The house is in a gated community and only the residents there have access to the beach, meaning it is very empty, unlike the crowded Riviera beach.
My brother bought it a few years ago with his best friend who lives in Israel and after a beautiful renovation that ended in December of last year, the place is now heaven on earth!
The house near the Riviera
It is practically on the sand and now has a pool, jacuzzi, 6 bedrooms, 3 kitchens, a nice garden and a wonderful maid who takes care of everything and everyone. We spent some amazing days there with our father's family and now we need to go back with our mother's family too. My kids were like pigs in the jacuzzi with hot water even in the rain, imagine on sunny days...
I recommend it to everyone, wholeheartedly!
