Wow. If this place is available you should book it. It's a nice walk to La Barra but close to Bikini beach . Christian is just a great host. Breakfast buffet is as good as any other hotel .

Casapueblo is now divided into two main parts: An art gallery (where are exposed the works of Carlos Páez Vilaró) and a hotel.  It all started with the construction of a hovel that was being expanded to be what it is today.  This hovel would have been the inspiration for the song "A casa" of Vinícius de Moraes and Toquinho.
