Guests have exclusive access to the entire home. Enjoy cozy evenings by the fireplace, unwind to the soothing sound of the waterfall, and prepare breakfast or a special dinner using the kitchen equipped with essential cookware, a stove, an Air Fryer, a coffee maker, and a mini barbecue.
The home features a comfortable vintage queen-size bed, Wi-Fi, free parking, and a peaceful natural setting where birdsong replaces city noise.

The home features a cozy living room, a kitchen equipped with essential cookware, a vintage queen-size bed, fireplace, bathroom, outdoor space, mini barbecue, private parking area, and a beautiful waterfall that creates a peaceful atmosphere.
The parking area is shared with guests staying at **KORU Cabana**, a separate accommodation located higher up on the Casas KORU property.

Other things to note
## Other Things to Note
Casa KORU is located within a gated community in an environmental preservation area, where nature is an essential part of the experience.
Residents value peace and quiet, so we kindly ask guests to avoid loud music or excessive noise, especially during the evening and nighttime hours, helping maintain the peaceful atmosphere for everyone.
As the property is surrounded by the Atlantic Forest, you may encounter birds, butterflies, native wildlife, and insects, particularly during certain seasons. This is a natural part of staying in such a beautiful environment.
If you are sensitive to insect bites or have allergies, we recommend bringing insect repellent and any personal medication you may need.
Thank you for helping us preserve this special place and for enjoying your stay with respect for nature and the local community.
