  • Description

    Description

    Our property is in Florianópolis, a beautiful island in the south of Brazil, and also the capital of the state of Santa Catarina. This island is considered the best quality of life in Brazil between all capitals. The property has already 3 little houses. And is 8 minutes walking to the main university of the state (UFSC). The idea is to built a hostel for students and tourists. Have no much money for the building, as some parts need work. The place has a so beautiful view and is good location, close to every part of the island, central. The neighborhood, is considered the one who hás faster acess to the all parts of the Islând.
