Our trip was truly memorable! ##### Karen Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tranquility personified - my wife and I said the same thing about this place - it felt like the perfect setting for a romantic movie. my wife really liked the remote location, it is super private and secure... that part was a little annoying, it might be too secure. I had a hard time getting Ubers but like I said my wife loved that. 5 star staff members - absolute class. we got back 2 weeks ago and we are already planning to go back in 6 months. ##### Joseph Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glory 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay! Excellent stay in a quiet retreat which was a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Private, secluded with a delicious breakfast and an outstanding view. The staff was exceptional including Alessandro who helped me with everything from restaurant reservations to transportation, my cleaning service by Adrienne was excellent and all the supporting staff including Leonardo. I would definitely return. Highly secure property and really love the view! ##### Glory Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### nuntaporn 6 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ห้องน้ำเหม็นมาก bad bathtub but bean staff is very nice another is not nice enough not worthy to stay The price is high and not worth the stay. The service is not worth the price. Some reception staffs provided poor service . ##### nuntaporn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie 22 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Booked a suite for my 40th. I arrive around 10am, check-in is at 3pm so the staff said have breakfast and hangout until the room is ready. Im eating breakfast and a female guest starts yelling and throwing her hands up. Said that I shouldn't be here. The staff removed my plate, asked if I could leave, picked up my bag and escorted me out. He requested I not come back until 3pm. Not a pleasant welcome. . .other than that, room was clean, food was delicious, staff was nice. I wanted to book a helicopter but they said I had to have other people with me. Im a solo traveler. ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel L 22 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My paradise This was not a hotel, this was a home This was luxury living at its best. I felt like I was living in a celebrity world of exclusivity and comfort. There are only 7 guest suites so was very private. The staff was excellent, the rooms extremely comfortable, the food delicious, and the views unexplainable. It was very difficult to leave this paradise. I have only a few comments. The pool was nice, but would be nice if it was skimmed with a net each morning to catch the few bugs and leaves. (by the way there were not many bugs here or really anywhere in Rio). Also it is a bit difficuly for cab and uber drivers to find. One we knew how to get there it was not a problem and they called taxis for us for pick up. IT wqas worth it though as this was the most spectacular place I have ever stayed. ##### Rachel L Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrei 10 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Peefect ##### Andrei Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 8 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities loved the vila experience! ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely amazing stay in Santa Teresa neighbourhood.

Whilst away from the hustle and bustle that Rio has to offer (and a bit challenging to get back to at night times), anyone looking for a memorable stay should earmark this place.

Quartos amplos, claros, com lençois e travesseiros perfeitos. Restaurante com opções diferentes para almoço, lanche e jantar. Tudo delicioso!!! Porém, o que me chamou a atenção foi o serviço impecável de todos os funcionários. Uma menção especial a Letícia que nos atendeu no jantar! Somos moradores do Rio de Janeiro e voltaremos com certeza!!!
