Grandma Lola's Recanto for rent, swimming pool, glass gourmet kitchen, nature

Located in Aluminio, this welcoming vacation home brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 25-minute drive to Sorocabana de Mairinque Athletic Club or the 23-minute drive to Quinzinho de Barros Municipal Zoo (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the outdoor pool or sip a drink in the garden of this vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and a firepit. As for the great indoors, you can try your hand at table tennis and billiards, or enjoy the WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom rental, you'll find a BBQ grill and a fireplace. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
