“In my opinion, this beachfront property stands out with its access to the Atlantic Rainforest and a surprising animal sanctuary. It's a place where therapeutic horseback riding meets ecological adventure, though some may find the interiors less inspiring than the setting. I think families, in particular, will appreciate the activities geared towards children and the unique opportunity to connect with nature.”
