A river view like this one is hard to look away from. Located on a calm street in Miragaia, Rio & Sol is all about relaxation, even though you won't need to walk far before you're back in the embrace of the city. While the terrace obviously steals the show in this home, the natural light in the living room and the vaulted ceilings create a lovely space to hang out in. This is an immaculate home with high-quality soft furnishings, courtesy of the host Sergio, who is committed to providing every essential for your' stay.

Home truths:
*There is no elevator to this third-floor home – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases take note
*The maximum occupancy of this home is two adults and one baby up to two years old only
*A minor peeve, but – the roses are plastic, not real
