Private vacation home

Close to hiking trails, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Pacos da Cultura or the 6-minute drive to Museum of the Chapelaria (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the fitness center and BBQ grill. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at foosball and billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A living room, a dining area, and air conditioning are featured at this 6-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a lobster pot, and a microwave. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
