Photos and Description of the Ipanema vacation apartment rental
2 1/2 Bedroom Duplex Penthouse Parallel Posto 9 Ipanema

Recently profiled and featured in 'The Sunday Times'(UK). Absolute prime location in the very heart of fashionable Ipanema, this luxury 2 double bedroom, 2 story very spacious 1500 sq ft penthouse is where mid-century Brazilian meets contemporary design(there is in addition a 3rd single bedroom with en-suite shower room).

IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a residential family building, not an apartment hotel.If you are after a 'mancation' type holiday please do not make an enquiry.This is strictly NOT the environment for sexual tourism.

Accommodation includes 3 bathrooms,2 living rooms,quality contemporary art ,wireless broadband,2 LCD TVs(40',32') with cable/dvd,washer/dryer,power shower,24h security etc. Also 2 outdoor spaces,one 1st floor balcony and a decked terrace on the top floor with private,heated Jacuzzi(not overlooked). Majestic views of the mountains and Christ statue (illuminated at night). Minutes from the beach,exactly parallel to the most desirable stretch of Ipanema beach, the famed Post 9. This apartment has been carefully designed to capture the relaxed and timeless spirit of bossa nova,retro cool at it's best!

Extra Maid Service: Extra maid service is available.A day session(4/5 hours) costs R90.A mini session lasting approx. 2 hours is available for R50.Please make sure you book these at the time of booking as they can be difficult to arrange last minute.Their duties can also cover ironing,food shopping and child minding.

An English speaking babysitter service is available for R20 per hour,plus taxi fare if required to stay after 1am.

Airport pick up service.: Airport pick up service is available with a very reliable named driver(Marcello) in new model, air conditioned saloon car for R80(the official airport car rate is now R99!). He will wait for you at arrivals with a placard bearing your name..This is an extremely competitive price,less than the rate charged by the official airport outlets! I strongly recommend you take advantage of this offer as it helps my management to co-ordinate your smooth arrival at the apartment.Payment is direct to the driver.A van with an 8 seat capacity plus luggage is also possible for R150.

Great rates are also available for local car tours or trips further afield to Parity or Buzios.

Special Notes: Being a penthouse means the apt. is flooded with light (many Rio apts. can be dark due to so many tall buildings facing each other).

Having 2 very distinct outdoor areas on 2 levels combined with panoramic views means the apartment is suffused with the natural grandeur of Rio.

The ease and convenience of being directly parallel and just 350 meters (5 minute walk) to Post 9 on the beach,generally regarded as the absolute apex of Carioca beach culture.

Finally ,for the discerning traveler, this beautifully maintained property is positioned atop an architecturally very distinguished building.

About Alastair

Very widely traveled.Brought up in the Far East and Australia,am now mostly based in the UK.

For a long time I had the apt looked after by one of the biggest agencies in Rio.The problem was that far too few staff were looking after far too many apartments.Speaking from direct personal experience,compared to running an equivalent apt in New York or London,Rio presents unique challenges.Not only are running costs roughly triple but getting even the simplest things done can be challenging(and yes that is an understatement!).A couple of years ago I decided to manage the apt. myself directly from London with a full time local manager who looks after no more than 5 apartments.This can be at times very demanding because if something is not right,trust me, I get told about it! We are now able to provide a very bespoke service from the moment you leave arrivals at the airport.My manager and I are 100% committed to providing you with the best experience of Rio possible.

Alastair purchased this apartment in 2006
Why Alastair chose Ipanema

Ipanema is almost like a small kingdom set apart.The timeless life style associated with such easy access to such an extraordinary beach is very seductive.Now safer than ever,quite simply Ipanema is in a class of it's own.It's where Brazil looks for new trends and is a show place for the nation.It is classic,eternal Rio and the energy is palpable.It is the Rio of your dreams!

Rio (a city that,even within Brazil, is the most 'Brazilian' of cities) is also a very culturally rich society with a strong theater tradition,great modern artists,the center of the telenovela and media industries,an extraordinary and diverse musical heritage and a strong intellectual history involving great writers and architects.It is also fascinating to observe the vast changes Rio is currently undergoing.The speed and scale in urban regeneration is unprecedented amongst any major world city in modern times.

What makes this apartment unique

Space, and a tremendous feeling of privacy floating above everywhere else in your own private world. Apart from great style,I think to have the rare combination of 2 entirely different outdoor spaces on separate floors together with contrasting and amazing views coupled with the location so close to Post 9 on the beach.All this and being a penthouse awash with natural light allows an ambiance that is pretty special.Ticks all the key boxes!

Positioned in a calm,residential street canopied with tropical trees adorned with orchids, this is referred to by locals as the 'noble' area of Ipanema. Being to the left of Rua Vinicius de Morais this is seen to be the safest part of Ipanema, not being in the 'shadow' of any favela.Known as the 'Beverly Hills of Rio' due to the many telenovela stars who live here. Tom Jobim wrote the classic 'The Girl From Ipanema' song while living in this street in 1962(a plaque commemorates this at no.107). You are exactly parallel to and just 4 blocks from the legendary Post 9 on the beach. 2 blocks from the exciting shopping opportunities on the main thoroughfare of Rua Visc. de Piraja, and just 3 blocks from the Lagoa. Although taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, being so well located means you can walk to all the local culinary,cultural and nightlife attractions Ipanema is so famous for.You are assigned 2 parking spaces within the building which is useful if you hire a car or have Brazilian friends visiting.

Seamless service, beautiful apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: December 7, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
Apartment is gorgeous and highly functional (easy to use washer/drier, fully functional kitchen, air-conditioned, good spaces for both together and alone time, etc.). We were traveling to Rio for the first time and, though most of us speak Spanish, we had no Portuguese speakers with us. Alastair and his team made the whole process seamless - his driver (Marcello, who is amazing) met us at the airport, Felipe met us at the apartment, and all were easily accessible via email during the trip. The building and neighborhood feel very safe, and you can walk pretty much everywhere. We were traveling with our infant twins and could not have asked for a better location, especially when one baby got his first fever and we had to spend more time at home than anticipated. Having the outdoor space was great as we still felt we were on vacation, and the air conditioning was critical! We ordered takeout from many amazing local restaurants, and had a great stay. Apartment is extremely clean and well maintained.
Owner's Response: Recently the apt has been subject to ongoing renovations including new kitchen units and a designer chaise lounge.Thank you Sarah for your appreciative review,hope to welcome you back in the future!

All you can Rio!

Submitted: December 18, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
Yes, this apartment allows you to conjugate the verb Rio: I Rio, you Rio, she/he Rios, we all Rio!!! It offers indeed all you want to have during your holidays and more:
- great location: yes Ipanema is much more trendier than Copacabana. The Posto 9 beach is as described a few meters from the apartment and...only for beautiful people.
Restaurants, bars, shops abound!
- perfect views on the Corcovado/Cristo Redentor, so romantic in the morning to enjoy your breakfast with sun and stunning views, even more romantic at night so sip a little caïpirinha with the pink illuminated Christ;
- space & privacy: 2 terraces, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 floors...what else? With a family of 4, this was perfect. Once the children settled down, we would enjoy a whole evening out at the top roof terrace
- service: yes the owner is picky with his personnel and this is all for your comfort. Driver, manager, babysitter, doormen will do their utmost to accommodate all of your needs.
I would say the height of chic is to have all this in a beautifully decorated flat. We really enjoyed staying here in Rio, would definitely recommend it and will come back.
OBRIGADÃO ALASTAIR!!!

REVIEW BY PAMELA MINDEN from California

REVIEW TITLE:- GREAT TRIP,GREAT HOSPITALITY!

Thank you for the use of your wonderful apartment .
We had a wonderful time in Rio. Our kids have fallen in love with their Brazilian relatives and with Rio itself and can't wait to come back. Your apartment worked out perfectly for us. It was comforting to know we had such great space to retreat to at the end of very busy and full days. The configuration of your apartment suited my family perfectly. I have one son who really treasures his private time so he loved the maid's room. He took a fan in there and was happy as a clam. My step-daughter loved your second bedroom. My little guy, who slept on the floor of the living room, thought everything was fantastic! He loved the shower in the master bathroom, (if only he would embrace his showers at home with such enthusiasm!) and he couldn't wait to see what colour the lights would be on Corcovado each night. My husband and I were thrilled to be able to leave everyone downstairs!! Being a bit of an inconsistent sleeper, I spent several hours out on the rooftop deck in the middle of the night. It was very peaceful! The parking spaces, which I really hadn't thought about before we left, were a huge bonus and greatly appreciated by our cousins. I can't believe how much we used them! Felipe was a prince. He was attentive and helpful and is just generally a really lovely guy. Between all of the information you provided and Felipe, we felt very well cared for and I really appreciated that.
It was a trip to be remembered. I can't thank you enough and we hope you'll have us back!
PS - we all love the Carmen Miranda prints above the couch in the living room. They are fantastic and what a great display!!!!!
