Residencial Banzaê  

On Brazil’s southern coast in Garopaba, a short stroll from Ferrugem Beach and the glassy Garopaba Lagoon. About a 5-minute walk to the sand, roughly 7.3 km from Garopaba Beach and around 5 km from the town center. Pet-friendly apartment lodging close to shore-side attractions.

A homey, individually styled building with five furnished guestrooms. Rooms come with refrigerators, microwaves, 52-inch flat-screen TVs, separate sitting areas, desks and private showers. Simple, lived-in décor and garden views give it a relaxed beach-base vibe.

On-site barbecue grills and a garden for chill hangouts, plus free self parking. Front desk staffed during limited hours and pets are allowed. Expect sea-breeze mornings and easy access to nearby surf and lagoon walks.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and in-room desks for getting work done.

No formal restaurant listed, but the barbecue area is set up for grill nights. In-room refrigerators and microwaves make self-catered meals and quick breakfasts simple.
