BBQ COOK & DINNER PARTY CHEF: LOCAL BARBEQUE & BRAZILIAN CUISINE COOK: Ana - can can prepare Brazilian and Barbecue cuisine including European, Tropical and American salads, pastas, etc. She also cleans up the villa kitchens and guest plates etc after the meal. She can be engaged for dinner or lunch or even breakfast. She can prepare traditional full meat, chicken, fish, or vegetarian barbeques or a combination of all or some of the above. The barbeque fuel (charcoal) is provided by the host. Most guests find it easier to purchase all the food materials themselves so they can directly determine the price and quality of the produce and Ana does all the preparation and cooking with the guest supplied materials. You can purchase pre-packaged salad bases (at the local SUPERMARKET I recommend to guests in the arrival instructions) and engage Ana to prepare fresh salads - like chicken, shrimp, crayfish, avocado, Italian, or garden salads - using these salad bases - or using fresh salad vegetables purchased from the supermarket or a local fruit & veg market. If this is of interest to you - contact Ana and discuss and reach an agreement with her about the specific cuisine you need - the attendance days and hours - cook remuneration - and an agreement in regard to the supply and delivery of the required food. Nothing is paid to VRBO or to the host - You pay Ana the agreed fee directly in local cash (or by bank transfer) on the day of service. Normally Ana charges R295 US$60 a day) for a barbecue lunch or dinner. ANA is contactable by WHATSAPP - details are supplied afrer booking: DINNER PARTY CHEF: CIDA: Also on WHATS APP: If you require a dinner party chef - give CIDA - who specialises in both International and Brazilian cuisine - a call and if suitable reach an agreement directly with her. She offers more specialised dishes such as Salmon with passion fruit main course - Brazilian beef dishes - fish or chicken entrees - and delicious local or international deserts - and is popular with guests having a special dinner party or birthday celebration. Cida generally supplies and serves the food and she also provides all catering equipment and serving dishes suitable for a special occasion dinner party and charges a chef catering price per guest. OVERNIGHT PARKING: Parking is outside the front gate of the villa - the area is patrolled at night by police and local apartment building security guards so it is very safe and secure. The local police station is just around the corner about 60 metres away. In 5 years, none of our guests with cars have had any security issues with parking at this location and nor have we had any security issues with the house and gardens in the 5 years we have owned it. Some of our guest groups - travelling from Sao Paulo for example - have had 3-4 cars which they have parked during their 3-7 day stay without any problem.

Dec 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy As a bigger group of friends that came here to celebrate our graduation, we had an absolute blast! Stunning view, great neighbourhood with lots of bars and a responsive host - we would definitely recommend this place. One of our highlights was to watch the sunrise while relaxing at the pool!

A group of 9 of us from the UK and France went to Rio to celebrate a 6oth Birthday. We chose Alex’s house because of the central location, views and pool. We were not disappointed. The house is in a trendy area filled with bars and restaurants and is a Grand Old Lady perched near the top of the hill. It is a historic house filled with charm - a bit quirky and interesting and we liked it very much. Alex was a great host and dealed with questions about the area and the house very quickly and in a professional way. We also thought the house was very good value and would recommend it and Alex for a holiday in Rio. ##### Brian R.

The views are just magnificent. The house is huge and very comfortable. If we are ever in Rio again, we shall stay here again. ##### Fabio R.

We all absolutely loved it. The kids had a total blast exploring the pool, the garden, and every other little nook and cranny in the house. And we also had completely underestimated how much we’d love the neighbourhood. Santa Teresa is every bit as charming as they say, and the Vila is a great place to explore it from. You’ve been a wonderful host, extremely transparent, super helpful, and we’re very thankful for the wonderful memories you’ve offered us. ##### Andrisa A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023
