A true sanctuary of peace and nature! We spent three wonderful weeks in Rio de Janeiro with our family, and were warmly welcomed by Mauricio and Stuart at Casa Verde. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering breathtaking views—morning ocean vistas and afternoon glimpses into the lush forest. Breakfast was delicious and the travel tips and guided tours they shared were incredibly helpful in planning our trip. Mauricio and Stuart are genuinely kind, welcoming hosts who love connecting with guests. Their hospitality made our stay in Rio even more memorable. Thank you for such a special experience in this beautiful country—we’ll definitely be back!
We had an absolutely incredible weekend at Casa Caminho do Corcovado—truly a gem in Rio! The view from the property is breathtaking, whether you're enjoying it during the day or under the stars at night. Our cabin was spotless, cozy, and offered complete privacy—perfect for unwinding. The bedding and towels were high-quality and fresh-smelling, adding to the comfort. Breakfast was outstanding: fresh fruits, warm bread, cheeses, eggs, cakes, and more—all made with care and served with a smile. It felt like being welcomed into a home rather than staying at a hotel. Huge thanks to Helena and Diogo for such warm hospitality—they made us feel right at home. This place truly stands out, and I can't wait to come back.
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The property is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and perfectly located—just a short metro ride away from all the main attractions in Rio. The room was spacious, modern, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s rare to find such comfort and value in a stay like this. I can’t recommend it enough—definitely coming back!
Staying at Para TI Guesthouse was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, it's a peaceful retreat where you can also engage in meaningful volunteer work with local children—such a heartwarming way to connect with the community. This place truly offers a glimpse into the real Rio de Janeiro and the incredible people who call it home. We left a piece of our hearts behind, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for authenticity, warmth, and a deeper connection with the city. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.
Unfortunately, my experience was quite negative due to the lack of signage and lighting in the backyard, making the area extremely unsafe for elderly guests and children. I didn’t stay overnight—I only booked a day-use option through the platform for my birthday celebration and that of a close friend. As shown in photo 20, there’s a gap beside the staircase leading down to the yard, which becomes completely invisible at night because there’s no lighting in the area. While descending the stairs, I tripped over the gap and hit my head on a stone, resulting in six stitches above my eyebrow. To clarify—no alcohol was consumed during this incident. This could have easily turned into a much more serious accident. I reported the issue to the couple managing the booking, but they showed no intention to address or fix the hazard. Aside from that, there’s nothing else to comment on since I didn’t actually stay overnight. My only warning to future guests: this property is not recommended for families with young children or older adults due to the significant safety risks.
Staying at MC Flats Ipanema Beach Star was an absolute delight. The apartment is spacious and perfectly located in the heart of Ipanema—just a short walk to the beach, with a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, and local shops right outside the door. I loved how close it was to supermarkets, making grocery runs super convenient. The daily housekeeping service kept everything spotless throughout my stay, and the kitchen had all the essentials I needed for simple meals. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped—it felt like home. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a great location in Rio, this place is a top choice.
