Retiro Holidays from £1,372

Superb location just a block away from the fames Ipanema beach. Lots of eateries within a few blocks. Metro is right next door which makes getting to Centro real easy even in heavy traffic. Staff was super helpful and cheerful. The room size is what I expect in Ipanema. Wish the bathroom is bit bigger and they should add a hand shower. I missed that after coming back from beach.

Highly recommend this beautiful property! It is an amazing retreat from the busy city offering quiet, tropical and spacious surroundings with the nicest, caring and accommodating staff ever! Dany, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure a special stay, she's the best!

This was a very good property. Nice and spacious rooms. Incredibly helpful desk staff. Breakfast was decent, a bit overpriced though. The views from the rooms aren't the best if that is something you are looking for. The air conditioner had some problems, but we never addressed the staff on it because it was our last two days here. Knowing them, they would have fixed it immediately or relocated us. Cleaning staff did wonderful, looked as clean as we first arrived everytime we came back from exploring Rio. My main complaint is the outside, there were many homeless people camping outside the property, lots of trash here and there. The area looks sketchy, boarded up buildings and lots of graffiti. I'd imagine a lot of people wouldn't feel safe here at night. If this is what it looks like here, I could only imagine how the residents of Rio live. It's concerning and frankly, I don't think I'll ever visit Brazil again.

Our 4th stay at MGallery and it doesn’t disappoint due to the helpful staff, cosy rooms, pool and excellent food. Santa Teresa’s a lovely oasis in Rio’s suburbs, yet within easy reach of all its attractions.
