Perfect place when you stay in Rio ad are not interested too much in copacobana/Ipanema night life. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Excellent breakfast, laundry can get done and they will either drive you themselves or arrange transport for you. Google maps shows you exactly where the place is, so there's no problem finding it

Perfect place! Everything was beautiful and very good. Especially the care for the guests. I celebrated my wedding anniversary there. They made the room beautiful. The coffee was very good. I would definitely return.

The house is beautiful, the view is beautiful, and that's it. I paid 500 reais to receive a room with a dirty bathroom (I didn't even dare to get in the jacuzzi), a very simple breakfast (to give you an idea, they provided 2 UNITS of French bread), there wasn't a single sweet bread or variety of fresh bread (only small rolls and sliced ​​bread). Upon arrival, there's no sign identifying the guesthouse… it looks more like an Airbnb than a guesthouse. In short, I wouldn't return despite it being very beautiful…
