"I treasure the memory of that small paradise, where I ran barefooted, marvelling at the humming-birds, flamboyants and hibiscus ........the transparent sea full of sparkling foam that seemed like blue champagne."

Brigitte Bardot.

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, just 100mts. from the beach, it has a large tropical garden with pool, set amongst exotic flowering plants, which attract a variety of beautiful humming birds. It is one of the few hotels in Buzios that forms a green oasis, in this beach resort which is showing signs of rapid development.
