Rio160 - Apartment in Copacabana

A retro yet modern take on oceanfront living, this is an ideal property to rent for your holidays in Rio de Janeiro.

The living room is a great area, with hardwood floors and beach views, as well as sitting on a raised platform which makes the viewing of the ocean possible even when you're sitting on the imported European furniture.

It's a lovely room, with lots of windows and natural light all throughout the day, and even has a built-in bar. It is very spacious with lots of seating area and has a small balcony off the front where you can step out and feel the warmth of Copacabana beach. The kitchen is very modern, with all the amenities that you would want to find at home. The flat is Italian in design and so is finished in a tasteful European manner. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with the master bedroom also having access to the balcony which looks down on the Atlantic Ocean below.

Copacabana, the most famous and vibrant neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, stretches along one of the world's most spectacular bays. Its waterfront, a curve of white sand hugging the Atlantic Ocean, is more than just a beach; it's a pulsating heart of life, culture, and history that beats to the rhythm of the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City).

The boulevard lining the beach, with its iconic black-and-white mosaic sidewalk designed by Burle Marx, evokes a timeless elegance that attracts locals and visitors from across the globe. From dawn, the waterfront comes alive with a ballet of joggers, families, and athletes engaging in beach soccer, volleyball, and surfing, showcasing the inexhaustible energy of Copacabana.

As the day unfolds, the beach transforms into a vast open-air lounge peppered with the laughter of children building sandcastles, animated discussions among circles of friends sharing chilled mate, and the sounds of samba and bossa nova escaping from the beachfront postos (lifeguard stations). Kiosks and seaside restaurants offer a diverse gastronomy, from fresh seafood to Brazilian specialties, allowing one to indulge in local cuisine while enjoying breathtaking ocean views.

As the sun sets, Copacabana reveals another layer of its charm. The lights from bars and luxury hotels reflect on the waves, creating a magical atmosphere. Nightlife awakens with options for every taste: lively bars where one can sip the famed caipirinha to elegant clubs featuring live music performances.

Copacabana is not just a symbol of Rio's natural beauty; it's a celebration of Brazilian joie de vivre, a constant invitation to explore and immerse oneself in the cultural richness of this exceptional neighborhood. Every step along this waterfront is a discovery, an adventure, a new story to tell.
