The Banana Tree is an
English speaking private residence overlooking the bay between Floripa
and the mainland. The house is available for short term rentals
during the Brazilian summer and long term rentals during the winter.
We also offer bed and breakfast accommodation during the spring
and summer (November to April)
The house has four guest
bedrooms, two of which share a large sea facing balcony. All of
the rooms have been recently decorated using reclaimed Brazilian
wooden furniture and paintings by local artists. A large shared
living area downstairs leads through to a garden, barbecue area
and sundeck, and guests can access the beach directly through the
garden.
The house is located in
the pretty fishing village of Sambaqui
on the north west of the island.

What we offer
Our aim is to help our
guests enjoy the best the island has to offer, in a relaxed, sociable
atmosphere.
If you choose to rent
the whole house, then we will check you in and show you around before
leaving you to enjoy your new home-from- home! All the basic comforts
you would expect from your own home are provided. The house sleeps
up to 10 people (8 adults and 2 children).
If you'd prefer to stay
with us on a bed and breakfast basis, then you can make yourself
equally at home in the communal areas and garden. A continental style
breakfast of fresh fruit, cereals, cheese, bread, juice, coffee
& tea are served daily on the patio.
If you need help planning
your trip, then we will always be happy to point you in the right
direction, either before or after you arrive. Maps and information
are provided for all our guests.
Your
hosts
We both
have wide experience working in travel, tourism and customer service
industries. Ian is a qualified microlight flying instructor and
tandem hang glider operator, and is an experienced windsurfer and
kite surfer. (click
here for more info about hang gliding or microlighting in the
UK.) Anna’s interests are more of a cultural bent, and we
can guarantee you plenty of books to read if that’s your thing.
Banana
Tree cats
We have a history of taking
on cats who have been abandoned in Sambaqui, nursing them back to
health and often finding them new homes. Marmaduke and Bruna are
our current residents at the Banana Tree, and live downstairs in
the house. Because the house is tiled throughout, we rarely encounter
problems for people with allergies, but please let us know if you
have any concerns.
