Frescobol Carioca
Reviews & Experiences

Customer feedback shows clear strengths and weaknesses. Many buyers praise the design, comfort and perceived quality of swimwear, linen items and bat-and-ball sets. At the same time, multiple reports of poor stitching, snapped rackets and unresolved warranty or refund cases indicate inconsistent quality control and after-sales handling. Several shoppers highlight prompt, helpful online support, but an equal number describe unhelpful responses or responsibility disputes. When considering a purchase, check the returns and warranty terms, inspect construction details where possible, and weigh reported quality variability against price.

Ningel 4/5

When Paul came to visit me in New York, he had promised me three things. One was to treat me for dinner on our first date. The second was the experience of flying on an airplane with his wild enthusiasm. The third he told me when we had dinner; he would give me my very own pair of Frescobol Carioca linen towels that I had fallen in love with at their store in Soho, Manhattan. I took advantage of looking for the place to get quality linen towels at an affordable price with fast delivery. I chose Frescobol Carioca company after doing some research on it. The pricing, delivery and customer care were all superb, and I would definitely use them again in the future. I recommend them.
