RESORT HOUSE ON THE DAM

Located in Piracaia, this welcoming cottage lets you experience it all. Thanks to the convenient onsite parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 7-minute walk to Jacarei Dam, or easily tackle the 28-minute drive to Sociedade Paulista de Trote.

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the hot tub of this cottage, which also features a garden and a deck or patio. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at foosball and table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, cable/satellite TV, and pool table.

This 11-bedroom, 12-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include towels, toilet paper, and soap. No need to pay for a restaurant every night, when you've got an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher on hand, as well as an electric kettle, an ice maker, and a lobster pot. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
