Vila d'Este Handmade Hospitality Hotel

Total lovely place, people, homely and relaxed ambience, stylish and lovely furniture, clean, tidy. Great coffee (nice and hot). Good hairdryer that actually dries your hair rather than some of the waste of space hairdryers in other places. Great location right by Bridget statue so mins away from town. Be warned there are steps down which are totally fine but maybe if you were slightly older you might want to consider that. Kinda strange to have to ring be 'let in' rather than to take a key out with you but this actually makes you feel super safe, there is someone on the desk 24 hours a day so its not a problem. Buzios feels like a million miles away from any trouble - but don't be complacent there are still police patrols constantly which could well be the reason for what seemed like a super safe area. There is a club near by that rocks till 4 in the morning.... but this only happened one night out of the 6 that we stayed there

As you need to use a bin for soiled loo roll there really needs to be another bin in the rooms for rubbish and recycling. One small bin in the bathroom is not enough and when you consider what that bin contains you would not wish the job of sieving through that for recycling of plastic bottles etc. Sun beds are pretty uncomfortable and could easily be upgraded with a mattress of sorts
