They created roots there that they didn't have and dream of one day living there! --- LINK ![Exterior](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/2c8febd9a6286557/chao-do-rio-imageLinklouvadeus1.jpg) #### He (Rodolfo) is the wise voice that in the decisive moments sets the mood … Like that "of course we can!", When the will of transforming Chão do Rio into something more than a weekend getaway became to arise… LINK ![Exterior](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/2c8febd9a6286557/chao-do-rio-imageLinkjoaninha.jpg) #### She (Catarina) with a degree in Management, and a rich experience in the challenging Portuguese construction sector, had long carried in her "belly" the Chão do Rio dream.
