The moist tropical climate has made the bed covers and curtains quite musty. They need to be washed.

The property is beautiful. The host is wonderful, super friendly and offered many great suggestions. They offered a lovely breakfast with a wide variety of food, including assorted fruits, crepes, breads, eggs, fresh juice, coffee & tea.

Beautiful, tropical property on an old estate. In a nice, safe neighborhood.

Gorgeous home from home, with fab hosts! Lots of character and lovely grounds. Great location in Santa Teresa- easy to walk down the hill to the metro station and easy to take buses and taxis around.

Everything was great! I would just keep a landmark handy for Uber if you don't rely on the called taxi service which is higher priced.

Bindu and her husband are AMAZING hosts and made me feel right at home. When they learned of my interests, they were sure to give me their personal recommendations of places to visit and go while in Rio! The location is walking distance to everything but quiet enough to get a great night's sleep. As a solo woman traveling, I felt extremely safe walking at night, and there was a guard posted on one of the nearby streets as well. My bed was comfortable, room was spacious, and breakfast was tasty with the natural.juice being different each day :-). I would HIGHLY recommend staying here (Sta Theresa) over the busier areas in Rio. As I stayed in Copacabana and Casa Beleza the only thing to note is that sometimes Ubers don't care to take you because it's a lot of driving uphill and some drivers don't know how to follow the GPS to the house (my last driver got lost is how I know). But this only happened to me once, and I wouldn't change staying here at all as Bindu also has a taxi service she offers guests!

Sometimes difficult to get a taxi up to Santa Teresa and the tram was full when we tried to use it. Fine if you’re up for a lot of walking!

Beautiful and unique location and rooms. Our hosts and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Stayed in November 2023

The only detail would be the water pressure wasn’t very high but it’s a minor issue.

General atmosphere very relaxed, good location, good service in general. Breakfast was particularly amazing!

Note there are steps to negotiate with luggage to all rooms. The rooms external to the house have lots more steep steps.

Gorgeous property in the hilly district of Santa Teresa. Friendly dog and two tortoises wander around the gardens.

We really enjoyed staying here. The house and the garden are beautiful and the hosts made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is amazing and we enjoyed the terrace every morning. We loved Santa Teresa neighbourhood and would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful house in Santa Teresa with a great swimming pool. Bindu and Antoine are superb hosts and they gave us great insight of things to do in Santa Teresa and in Rio. The breakfast was varied and delicious. We had a fantastic and quiet room away from the main house and with a beautiful view to downtown. It felt like staying in a treehouse where monkeys, birds and butterflies came to visit us. This is the perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa with easy access to our favourite bars and restaurants.

Run by a lovely hospitable couple who speak excellent English this is an exceptional guest house in a lovely quiet part of Rio. We stayed in bungalow no 2 which was so comfortable and clean with a great rain shower and upstairs area, gardens are beautiful and well maintained. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance and area felt safe to wander around in. Bindu organised a couple of tours for us , we particularly enjoyed going out with Claudio to see the historic parts of Rio. Such an amazing city and this was the perfect place to stay.

There was nothing I didn’t like

An absolutely beautiful setting, great rooms (I tried two) and a fantastic breakfast! The owners are very helpful. And there’s a lovely bar 5 minutes walk away. I can’t recommend this place more highly!

Breakfast was very nice and served in the garden. The pool was great to at the end of a warm day in Rio. The neighborhood is very green (lots of trees and birds) and has plenty of good restaurants and bars. The owners provided many helpful tips concerning safety and suggestions on what to visit Rio de Janeiro. I would love to come back in the future.

For those with limited movement, the stairs in the upper rooms could be an issue, but I know the owners are at pains to explain this to all that book.

Traditional house with lovely period rooms, it had character! It’s also in a great location, with bars and restaurants near. we found it easy to get taxi’s into the main Tourist areas and back.

Really nice place to stay. Great owners that are very helpful. Excellent breakfast. Plenty of nearby restaurants and bars.

Stayed in September 2022

The smell of the room was really unpleasant (horse-stall like.. probably related to the curtains, or to some fornitures). Suggestions from the hosts were some times discordant, and a bit pessimistic.

Wonderful structure and location, good breakfast, calm district, full of nature, nice neighborhood, friendly hosts

Beautiful house , with a beautiful garden in a quiet part of Santa Teresa. We stayed in the bungalow (no 4) and had a good view on the garden. Within 5-10 min walking distance there are good bars and restaurants with live music. Breakfast is fantastic and the owners are very friendly and helpful, giving you lots of tips for your stay in Rio. Would love to stay here again!
