NEW YEAR!!

To give us a beautiful and spontaneous New Year`s message, we chose the Guests of the month of April 2009`s recent message!

The Irish couple Richard and Cathy went during their Honey moon on April 09 to stay their last days in Rio with us.

It`s a great pleasure to receive couples during their Honey moon, and it`s also inspiring.

But specially this couple gave us a great gift!!

So...we have the pleasure to present Aisling...she was born on December 2009 and is probably a little Brazilian, because she was Made in Castelinho38!!!

Long life to you Ailsing, we hope you grow healthy and have a very happy life, making your parents proud of you!

We hope to meet you soon, personally.

Love, peace and hope to everybody!!

Happy New Year!

Castelinho38`s staff.

Master Suite LIMOEIRO

Our old mini-apartement Limoeiro has been recently improved and transformed in a Master Suite, still a mezanine but now with two queen size beds and a little bathroom, a staircase is taking on the second level.

The room is ideal small groups or families, or for those who like to have their own big bed and can share a room.
The special stair to climb was first designed by Santos Dumont for its summer residence and it is known as "the enchanted".
