This was by far, the best accommodation we have had in Rio. The room was absolutely incredible. It was beyond clean, the service amazing, and the owners were so helpful and friendly. The views are spectacular and the breakfast was out of this world. When they heard I was vegan, they’ve even baked a vegan cake for me. I can only recommend this to anyone traveling to Rio.

My favorite place to stay in Rio. Charming, quiet, amazing views and people. The place is beautiful.

The room and property were amazing! The breakfast was incredible! They really catered to us to make our overall experience wonderful even when we stayed longer at the hotel waiting for our evening flight. The WiFi didn’t work great. Some Ubers didn’t want to drive us to the hotel or pick us up because of the unsafe neighborhood but once we were at the property, we really enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend!

The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking the city with amazing gardens - very peaceful and relaxing. The owners could not have been more welcoming from the moment I arrived, providing a delicious breakfast each morning and tips about where to visit / drink / eat. I could not recommend this place enough.

The outside can be initially off-putting when you first arrive, but inside the gates is an oasis of refreshing and high-quality amenities and service.

Wonderful visit. Dynamite service, super relaxing. Casual, yet pampering. The breakfasts are fantastic. Could not have had a better stay. Super location for Lapa and Samba action. Claudio is truly a class act, energetic and informative, while polished and chill. Felt like great value for level of service and amenities, and location.

Casa Geranio is an oasis tucked away in the hills of Santa Teresa! I loved the design aesthetics - a stone accent wall in the bathroom and marble shower in the bathroom, gorgeous seating area with a partition between the bed and nice linens. The owner is very friendly and gave me a great restaurant recommendation - he obviously loves what he does! The room was air conditioned, which is nice with the heat/humidity of Rio in the summer. Infinity pool has plenty of lounge chairs with great views of the downtown skyline. The breakfast in the morning is amazing! You will love your stay here!

Claudio was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave us wonderful suggestions for things to explore in the area and was very accommodating. Would absolutely come back and stay again!

I loved the location of this hotel with its beautiful views of downtown Rio. The staff was extremely attentive and gave my husband and me some great recommendations of things to see and do in Rio. I will definitely be back to this exceptional boutique hotel.

The hotel is a haven is the arty Santa Teresa area, Conveniently located for Lapa as well. Our room was spacious, full of lovely things and had an amazing view from the terrace. The main house is perfectly kept. The breakfasts were a real treat and the pool is lovely.

Great boutique hotel in Santa Teresa. Very personal service from both owners. Our room had its own plunge pool which was excellent and the style of the room was superb and comfortable. Overall a great stay.

Casa Geranio was amazing. The owners and hosts Claudio and Gabriel were awesome and instantly made us feel at home. Here are some highlights:The location - Santa Teresa was such a cool part of the city. High up on the hill overlooking the city, cobblestone roads and old stately homes. Great little bars and restaurants. The streets are well-lit at night and it is in easy walking distance to Lapa which has all the night-life. I didnt find getting around town from Santa Teresa was any more difficult that from anywhere else. The city is huge and spread out so unless youre hanging around right in the neighborhood youre staying in, youre likely to have a bit of a trek to get other places. I loved the character of Santa Teresa; you got a good feel for the historical Rio. Not touristy at all.Breakfast - OMG, Claudio is a chef and his breakfast which was made fresh every day, right down to the freshly squeezed juices, was AMAZING! The food presentation was pure art and there were beautiful fruits, pastries, local cheese all served on lovely dishes. They set tables out for each couple or guest, not family style as is done sometimes at Bed and Breakfasts. It was romantic and peaceful. Rooms - We stayed in Suite Carioca. I would highly recommend this if you are on a romantic getaway or want a peaceful space. We had our own pool and gated patio and city views. Very quiet space to enjoy wine in the evening while listening to the bustle of Lapa below.

The place is beautiful and the owners are very nice. Attention to details was obvious everwhere: from high quality toiletries and towels to signature napkin rings at breakfast.

An amazing oasis in the heart of Rio. Stunning views and incredible hosts who make you feel so welcome and at home. The breakfasts are magnificent!
