Why guests love itTwo friends who booked Villa Laurinda as a calm break between busier stops ended up building their days around the rooftop terrace. They took breakfast early with the panoramic views over Rio still soft in the morning haze, spent the heat of the day between the outdoor pool, the steam room and the gardens, and climbed back up at dusk. One room had a shared bathroom, a detail worth checking when booking. Nightlife seekers will find it quiet.
