Out of this world location, rooms, food and service

Stayed in April 2024

Location is a little tricky.. best to go in and out during the day, and stay on the grounds at night.

Beautiful estate, clean, incredible views. The place is really magical. Probably the next hotel view in all of rio.

All good, the access is a bit tricky but doable.

Beautiful and comfortable place. An oasis in the middle of the busy city

Beautiful building, great view

The distance to downtown. Some taxi drivers could not find the location. Our account was charged with 10 % service charge which did not know about when booking.

Thr view over the city. Thr breakfast.. Also, the room was nice and big

the pool is a bit tired but everything else is amazing!

it’s a beautiful location in a nice neighborhood and with stunning scenery. it’s very private and not busy and you feel like it’s a quiet retreat from the chaos of rio- the service on every level was fabulous. we would definitely recommend it and although we were one of only two couples there we felt very safe and comfortable.

the route to get there is complex, and once you are up at the property, it is difficult to head in and out given the time it takes for taxis or ubers to get through the gates. I was initially driving myself and had a very bad (and scary) time as Google maps routed me down a very dangerous street inadvertently - I would strongly encourage those coming from abroad or unfamiliar with Río to not even consider driving themselves, and think carefully about access to avoid being in uncomfortable situations. the hotel was great at advising me on safer routes and also helping me explain to ubers my preferences subsequently, but I wish I had known in advance if you are planning to be self contained and stay mostly within the property, or keep your movements to a minimum, I would highly recommend, but would really strongly encourage thinking twice about accessibility.

absolutely stunning estate at the top of a huge hill overlooking Río. beautiful grounds, beautiful villa, and really wonderful setting

Definitely one of the best places to stay in Rio. Absolute privacy, we even cancelled our sightseeing plans and enjoy the place.

I wouldn’t say “I didn’t like” It’s just a tip that the hotel should keep a few vila Santa Teresa drivers 🚗 if in case the guests needs it! When rains it’s very hard to find a ride ( Uber, cab) to take to the top of Santa Teresa because it’s very slippery! But just a tip! ❤️ I miss Rio and this amazing hotel! For sure it’s in my first choice when I come back to Rio de Janeiro!

I loved the view, we could see the Cristo redentor, Pão de Açúcar, o estádio! Super quiet, very secluded, we felted we were the whole time like in or own house or like at our grandma’s house, one night we got to the hotel around 1am and it was so quiet and almost all the lights was off we felted just home! It was an amazing feeling! It was not a regular hotel, it was an Amazing “family house”! ❤️ The staffs was just so lovely, serving an amazing breakfast, always ready to help us with anything we needed! Thank you to Everton, Yasmin, Duarte, Vinicius for the amazing job

Staff is extremely welcoming and always available to help. They always made us feel welcomed, special, and pampered. I do not recall everyone’s names and would love to thank them here: Everton, Vinicius, Juan, and everyone else. The wireless internet is excellent, I was able to host a 2h video conference with over 30 participants with no problems.

If they could heat up the pool that would be perfect

It’s such a beautiful place, nice and clean and the spa is perfect as well! Also the food is delicious and not overpriced!
