Beautiful property, super tranquil and lovely staff. The views are absolutely unmatched, and the food is delicious. A little pricier than other places but for good reason, worth every penny! The only feedback we'd share is based on the rating of the hotel the pool could do with a good scrub as it's a little rusty in places.

This property is the definition of luxury and boutique, with outstanding service. 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. A true gem!

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!

Amazing views atop Santa Teresa

Stayed for a night to get a different experience of Rio. The villa is immaculate and rooms comfortable. Views of the city below are amazing. The staff are prompt and helpful. Booked a spa treatment which was followed by use of the glass steam room also overlooking the city below. This villa is a converted house which is owned by a family with roots in Santa Teresa. The family was on site the day we stayed and were super friendly when they approached us.

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.

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.

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.

Tivemos uma experiência simplesmente encantadora. O hotel vai muito além de um cinco estrelas. Desde a chegada, com um drink de boas-vindas e uma equipe extremamente simpática e atenciosa, já nos sentimos acolhidos como se estivéssemos em casa. O atendimento é de um padrão altíssimo, realmente fora do comum. Os quartos são impecáveis. A cama é extremamente confortável, os lençóis e toalhas são de excelente qualidade e os mimos cuidadosamente pensados, como a máquina de café, fazem toda a diferença. Cada detalhe transmite cuidado e sofisticação. O salão principal e toda a casa têm uma beleza impressionante. A piscina é uma delícia, com uma vista surpreendente do Rio de Janeiro e, mesmo sendo moradora da cidade, fiquei verdadeiramente encantada com o visual. É uma experiência que nos faz sentir como se tivéssemos saído do Rio, tamanha a atmosfera especial do lugar. A gastronomia merece destaque. O café da manhã é impecável, e tanto o almoço quanto o jantar foram maravilhosos. Jantamos ao ar livre, com um cenário lindíssimo e um atendimento impecável, exatamente como o hotel propõe, proporcionar ao hóspede uma experiência incrível do início ao fim. Essa foi a nossa segunda visita ao espaço e a experiência foi ainda melhor. Fomos com mais dois casais de amigos para passar o dia e todos saímos igualmente impressionados. É, sem dúvida, uma das melhores opções para quem busca excelência em serviço, conforto, beleza e cuidado em cada detalhe. Atendimento nota 1000. Eles realmente
