Vila d’este

A clifftop boutique hotel in Búzios with a steep staircase down to the beach and a pool deck that makes the climb immediately forgivable. Nineteen rooms keep things intimate without going silent; the style leans antique-chic, rustic materials over designer pieces, which gives it the feel of a very tasteful friend's house. Twin pools, a sauna, a jacuzzi, and wide views of the bay are the agenda. Fashionable, slightly unhurried, adults only.
