Lovd everything about this place.

A tranquil peaceful oasis, literally the best place in Rio. You would never know this place exists - such a peaceful place amongst the noise, hustle and bustle. Rob and his team are such a pleasure to be around, the lovely dog Luna loves cuddles and this place is an absolute gem. If or rarher when return to Rio, we will choose this place only. Everything is nearby, you're right next to the main attractions yet it is so beautiful and you feel like on a tropical holiday. Lovely breakfast too and Rob has all the advice you can think of. Thank you 😊

Nothing to complain about

It’s a wonderful place in a beautiful and safe area of Rio, like a little oasis with hammocks, garden, little pool and wonderful view. The hosts are super friendly and nice people, truly devoted to give the best experience to their guests. Their breakfast kept me full till the evening! And the breakfast room is very beautiful and inviting. Charismatic cat and dog round up the experience.

The proprietors are very focused on giving a good experience. I had a lot of trouble with the heat in Rio in mid-summer, but the air conditioning gave excellent respite. The bathroom facilities were kept very clean. Breakfast was good. We took two all-day tours with Rob, one of the owners. He took us to the far west of Rio, and we had an opportunity to see natural habitats and cultural amenities and to dine on delicious seafood we would otherwise have missed. Don't miss the chance to taste moqueca de peixe - a wonderful fish stew. The price was very reasonable, considering that it was Carnaval season. We had absolutely no problem getting to the property via taxis, which are abundant everywhere. When at the property, we mostly used Uber to go down the hill to various neighborhoods such as Lapa, Centro, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Jardim Botanico. On one occasion, we had to walk down. By using the staircases that Rob told us about, it was a much shorter walk than it otherwise would have been.

Richard and Rob are wonderfully hosts who will make sure that you have a great time in Rio. The location is safe and close to the beach. We had everything we needed! Breakfast was delicious.

The property is on an extremely steep hillside, which gives great views but makes walking down to town more challenging than we were willing to try. However using Uber was never a problem.

Breakfast was delicious and included fresh fruit and juices. Rob the owner was very helpful in providing local information and recommendations.

Everything was lovely - no problems at all.

What a wonderful place to stay in Rio. Quiet and comfortable, on a hill with beautiful views of the city - but right in the center of it all. My daughter and I came in for a quick visit to see the Taylor Swift concert. We landed during an intense heat wave - over 105 F. Our room had AC, we took a dip in the pool to stay cool, and we lazed in the hammocks in the garden with the turtles and Luna, the dog. The heat broke on day two, so we did some sightseeing. It was very easy to call an uber or cab to get around - short trip to Sugarloaf and other destinations. We also walked down the hill to get meals - it's about a 10-15 minute walk using a combination of the road and staircases that snake through buildings (which cut down on the length of the trip). I did this several times, including in the early evening, and felt very safe. The breakfast each morning was really lovely - fresh fruit, bread, eggs, cereal, coffee. And Rob was super helpful giving advice, helping to arrange activities, etc. We pre-booked the car service to and from the airport - I would definitely recommend that. We also used the metro and train to get to the concert. I would definitely come back here.

My stay was too short.

Rob and Richard were super firendly, kind and helpful. Rob is a registered guide with the Brazilian ministry of tourism. I took a day tour of the city and surrounding areas. Rob showed me beautiful, non-crowded areas for photos, cultural experiences and great places for lunch. He is very knowledgeable.

Nothing to say.

This is an unique B&B, an oasis in the middle of Rio. It surely exceed my expectations! Beautiful view of the top of the mountain, located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, easy access to the main attractions such as Sugar Loaf and Cristo. We mainly used Uber during our stay. Rob and Richard are amazing hosts! Always smiling and willing to help, giving us great tips on places to visit/ eat. Great breakfast with toasts, eggs, yogurt, fruits and juice. The room was spacious, tidy and clean. We had a great time and I certainly recommend! Thanks Rob & Richard!

We loved everything!

The breakfast was phenomenal and kept us satisfied all day. Our hosts were delightful and extremely helpful always giving recommendations and advice. The location is refreshing and peaceful after a day of exploration. There is a lot of typical vegetation and the pets, including the tortoise are always entertaining.

Rob and Richard were very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. Breakfast was delicious- fresh juice, fruit and hot options each morning. The location was very central to the majority of the main attractions and in a saw and quiet neighbourhood.

This place is a little paradise inside a busy neighborhood in Rio. The staff was friendly and helpful and the house was insanely nice. We loved waking up to an amazing breakfast everyday and chilling outside. Love meeting the turtles and the beautiful dog. Would definitely come back.
