This is what our guests say about ARPOADOR BED AND BREAKFAST:

Il Bed & Breakfast Arpoador e' in un posizione perfetta tra Copacabana e Leblon, a 5 minuti forse meno dalla spiaggia.
La proprietaria parla benissimo l'inglese, e' gentilissima e ti fa sentire come a casa. La casa e' decisamente lussuosa con una bellisima living room, la camera e i bagni con piastrelle direttamente dal Portogallo! La colazione e' ricchissima. Puoi connetterti ad Internet e qualsiasi cosa di cui hai bisogno chiedi! A noi hanno perso i bagagli e Inia ci ha prestato tshirt e non solo...incredibile. Una gentilezza da non credere! - Monica Ratti, Milano
