Vila Santa Teresa
As a local resident of the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood, I can truly say Vila Santa Teresa is a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Rio's bustling city life. From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel right at home—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. A special thanks to Caio, the morning waiter, and manager Raphael, who went above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism. The ambiance is serene, the service exceptional, and the location is perfect for exploring the city. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a little haven. I’ll definitely be back.
Windsor California Copacabana
The rooftop view was absolutely breathtaking—vast, stunning, and perfect for sunset moments. The location is fantastic; it's just a short metro ride to the city center, and everything you need is within walking distance. Even though I arrived early (around 10 a.m.), the staff were incredibly welcoming and helped me check in right away with no hassle. Everyone I interacted with was polite, professional, and genuinely friendly. The room was clean, fresh, and comfortable—exactly what you’d want after a long journey. This was such a positive experience from start to finish. Great value, great service, and a memorable stay. Definitely planning to return. Thank you for making my trip so enjoyable!
Gerthrudes Bed & Breakfast
Staying at Gerthrudes Bed & Breakfast was an absolute delight. Nestled in the charming Santa Teresa neighborhood of Rio, this beautifully preserved 1920s home offers just nine rooms—intimate, elegant, and full of character.

Breakfast is a highlight: a generous buffet with fresh, high-quality ingredients that taste homemade and delicious. Honestly, it’s so relaxing here that you’ll find yourself reluctant to leave the hotel each day. The only minor downside? Santa Teresa can be a bit tricky to access, especially in the evenings—you’ll likely need to rely on a ride-share platform, but the quiet, safe atmosphere makes up for it. If you're looking for style over luxury and a truly personalized stay, this place is perfect. It’s not just a hotel—it’s an experience.

We stayed at Casa Beleza for four wonderful days, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The warm hospitality from Bindu and Antoine made all the difference—they were always attentive, offering thoughtful tips that helped us make the most of our trip. What stood out most was their effort during New Year’s Eve: they had already arranged metro tickets for us so we could safely reach Copacabana Beach to enjoy the fireworks show. It was a perfect way to ring in the new year! The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was diverse and delicious—every morning felt like a treat. From the welcoming vibe to the excellent service and prime location, Casa Beleza is a gem. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Rio.
