Dear Melissa and Daniel, "Muito obrigado" for your lovely comment about us and Marebella. It is with regret that you could not stay longer, I would have enjoyed many more conversations about Brazil and Sao Paulo in particular, having been there myself many times.

We find this fantastic location via a friend living in Summerset Wes. Marga liked to stay some days along the coast so we made a booking by Internet. Although the pictures and reviews were already exiting, when we arrived in front of the house it was really fantastic. We arrived a bit early but got a very warm welcome from... More

When we were there beginning of November there were at least 10 whales constantly present making jumps out of the water, flapping their fins ...... More
