ヴィラ ペドラ マール(Vila Pedra Mar)

We had a fantastic stay. Kareem and Riann are very kind and helpful. The location is on the most beautiful part of Ilha grande. Kareem arranged a taxi for us from Rio de Janeiro to Angra dos Reis. Our room was beautiful and huge. Dinner and cocktails were great.

Villa Pedra Mar is an absolute gem of a place. I couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s a beautifully decorated and very well maintained property, run by the friendliest and charming couple. The breakfasts and dinners were plenty and absolutely delicious in a beautiful setting surrounded by ocean and greenery. And we were made to feel so comfortable. Top notch hospitality! Don’t hesitate to book it!

We arrived here to a warm welcome and shown to our room. From our room we can watch everyday life in the bay. The room is well appointed with two balconies to sit on and enjoy a nice sundowner. Our hosts Karien and Riann could never do enough for us and they make the best pre dinner Caipirinhas, thank you. We also went on their boat exploring the Island with our captain Nilson explaining places as we passed them, Thanks. Thank you for a great stay.

Amazing place for a peaceful rest. The hosters are always available and with a great smile for everybody!!

The sun has set on our 4th and final day at Karien and Riann's lovely Vila Pedra Mar. We are now sat in the half open lounge area on the top floor reflecting on the stay. From when we inquired about rates and made the booking Karien and Riann went out of their way to assist and provided all the needed information swiftly. In the following days they also helped setting up the seamlessly combined car and boat transfer from Rio de Janeiro's Galeao Intl Airport at what appeared to be competitive prices. When docking at their private landing, they were both there to welcome us, help with our bags and show us the ins and outs of the place. We hgot the green suite which is on the lower floor next to the honeymoon suite (well worth thinking about with it's generous space and balconies). Our room was all we needed though and at a very good price considering the wonderful breakfast and possibly even better suppers cooked up by our hosts every day. We were not short supplied of suggestions for boat trips, hiking trails, other activities and the areas best eateries for whatever we could make room for during the day. Very handy is the shared and very well equipped minibar in the lounge area too. All in all this little (3 rooms) place has everything you can possibly need and I haven't even come to the best part yet. The welcoming and heartwarming hospitality of Karien and Riann is beyond what anyone can expect anywhere and definitely the best I've experienced in my 25 years as a frequent traveller. Their passion for service and making their place a home away from home for their guests is literally second to none and possibly even out of this world. If you are ever in Rio and want a break from the bustling streets of the marvellous city and you enjoy beautiful views, water sports/activities, rain forest hiking, the absence of motorized vehicles (apart from the different boats serving the community in all aspects) and don't mind the absence of a nightlife, you should not under any circumstances deprive yourselves of a stay at this hidden gem. Whoever gives this place a different rating than 5 is out of their mind. It is rare for us to ever go back to a place as we love dicovering something new everytime, but we may just have to make an exception to the "rule" here. PS: Big shout goes out to the team of boys working with the hosts, constantly smiling, helpful and efficient. Impeccable recruitment.

As hospitality lovers and workers, we were very happy to find this place, this is hospitality! All the details and attentions make the experience even more unbelievable. The place and the surroundings are wonderful. Thank to them and all the best. We would love to come back with our whole family at some point. Delphine & Charles

The pousada is very beautiful and the staff (the owners Karien and Riann mainly) where so carying and helpful with us. The best vacation!! Thank you very much! We would love to come back!

We are a family of 5, and we stayed 4 nights in the Pousada… we absolutely loved it!!! The rooms are very comfortable, clean and decorated with exquisite taste! The hosts, Riann, Karien and Daniel were great! They helped us arrange all the logistics from Rio airport to Ilha Grande… The food is outstanding, Riann’s cooking is great, using fresh local ingredients.. and we also loved Karien’s breakfast!!! We appreciate very much all the hospitality and is certainly one of our favorite places in the world!!! We look forward to visiting again soon!!!! THANK YOU!!❤️❤️❤️

This was one of the most amazing stays ever! This property is super comfortable and has the most stunning views. We can go snorkel right off the adjacent dock or take a tour to dive in one of the many islands surrounding this beautiful one! Food and service was excellent! We will return as soon as we can!
