"My husband and I stayed at the Cachoeira Inn over Christmas. I’m not even sure where to begin describing how wonderful the entire visit was…Susan and Matt made everything so easy and relaxing, starting at the arrival. We arranged for a taxi from our hotel in Rio, which made for a stress-free travel day, even with the traffic. When we arrived, Susan greeted us so warmly with fresh caipirinhas and a plate of assorted snacks. She made sure we settled in for a bit after the long ride while taking in the amazing view, and then told us about all the amazing activities that were possible in Buzios, along with a tour of the property. I was very excited to try all the activities, but as the days went by, my husband and I were completely happy to just enjoy the amazing pools and location of the property itself! We did go to a couple other beaches of course though! Susan and Matt were always helpful with calling for cabs, checking if we were in need of anything, and pointing out sea turtles! The property and the rooms are all super clean and beautifully decorated. The darkness of the rooms allows guests to get a great deep sleep and really rest up for all that sunbathing the next day! The daily breakfast is ample and full of fresh fruits, a fresh juice of the day, and of course, Pão de Queijo! Yum… I must note that we had a very special stay due to the fact that Matt’s mother was there over the holidays, and she is quite the cook! We were spoiled everyday and especially when we were graciously invited to share Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day breakfast with their family and friends. I am so thankful that we found the Cachoeira Inn! It is not only one of the most stunning places I have ever been to, but it is also filled with genuine kindness and happiness! Bliss! "
