I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel resort in Rio de Janeiro that left a lasting impression on me and my wife. The building itself was designed by an architect who managed to imbue it with a sense of wonder that truly enhanced my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning view that greeted me, and this feeling continued throughout my stay. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the incredible breakfast, which featured fresh fruit and was served with a view of the valley. The combination of delicious food and beautiful scenery was truly unbeatable. But what really made this hotel stand out was the service. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and their approach made me feel like I was staying at a friend's place rather than a hotel.

Tuakaza is an amazing place to stay. Hospitality and amenities are 10/10. Breakfast is served, and there are many opportunities for relaxing. The scenery is beautiful, and the pool adds to the beauty. I would highly suggest Tuakaza to any traveler who wants to get away from the noise of the city, but still wants easy access to it. Matteo is very friendly and helpful at providing recommendations!

This is a beautiful getaway in a very scenic area of Rio. The grounds are filled with native plants, and the birds and occasional monkey make it a virtual paradise. Our host Matteo is wonderful and makes sure your stay is truly enjoyable. Hope to return again and again! :)

Cannot say enough about TuAKaza: about the space; the host Matteo who is one of a kind; the privileged location with unique/thoughtful architecture and design that feels surreal - to name but a few. Magical and whimsical retreat in the city of Rio. Come here if you want peace, beauty and an opportunity to absorb the energy from the magnificent landscape that is so unique to Rio. Moments from amazing hiking up to Pedra Bonita, the entrance to Tujica National Park, as well as a short easy drive to fabulous beaches and restaurants. In sum, TuAKaza is an oasis powered by incredible human kindness and generosity.

A remarkable experience. A highly welcome way to experience Rio’s majestic nature. The views of pedra de Gávea, pedra bonita, the ocean, and the paragliders are extraordinary, as the property, its dozens of wood terraces, and pools are tastefully tucked into the hillside. Matteo is attentive to each guest and ensures your experience is relaxing and enjoyable, and the subtle ambiance and ample snacks and drinks make this a perfect getaway. Highly recommend it!

We were picked up by the owners personal driver from the airport which was great not having to figure out a taxi or Uber. We arrived at night and were amazed by the view when we woke up. When we arrived we were welcomed by Matteo and he treated us like family. Every morning Matteo had breakfast prepared for us, which was usually a collection of local fruits, coffee, fresh baked bread, meats, cheese, and eggs. There were complimentary drinks and snacks available all day in the main are and in our bedrooms. Our room was fantastic and clean with very comfortable beds. The view, the view, the view! We were a little nervous about the location and finding a way to and from restaurants, etc. This was no problem at all as local Ubers were easily available day and night to pick you up and take you where you need to go. Bonus, there is a very nice mall less than 10 mins drive that has many very nice restaurants and one in particular that delivers to Tuakaza. We were there to visit for Carnival and absolutely loved our stay, we can't say enough good things about the property and our hosts.

No Internet inside the room. The owner says to use it in the balcony and use mosquito spray when bitten. Towels are grey and smelled like dirtysocks. Could not even use their own hairdryer because plug did not fit. Saw mouse poop on sink countertop. Drain was clogged. We were locked out of the room and there was no one to help. Este vacation fuel Un desastre por este hotel.

It was my first time in Rio, and we couldn't have made a better decision to stay at Tuakaza. The attentiveness and friendliness of the staff made it one of our best hotel experiences to date. The staff was very knowledgeable about the city and the area. Also made excellent restaurant recommendations. The neighborhood is exactly what we wanted: away from all the hecticness of Ipanema/Copacabana, and in the middle of a forestal oasis. Very romantic if that's what you're after, but in general it is just the perfect place to relax. All the pictures you've seen of this place don't do it enough justice. Rio is now one of my favourite cities in the world, and I can honestly partially thank Tuakaza for that. We cannot wait to come back!

Stayed 2 nights at the end of a 2 week vacation. Amazing, breathtaking, incredibly unique, a luxury home away from home. 24h snack room and self-serve bar. A small swimming pool flowing via waterfall into another small pool - not big enough to swim in, but the views are incredible. A sauna. Plenty of common space to lounge. The staff, Daniela and Fernanda, were super. Friendly and welcoming and helpful. Can't say enough about this place. It's not walkable to other parts of Rio but a short taxi ride to plenty of places. You may not want to leave though!

This is not a hotel! it is a wonderful villa at your disposal. You not only get a room to sleep in which is equipped with tv, coffee/tea making, free minibar and lovely hot/cold shower but also access to the living room and terrace where you can enjoy a lovely view and drinks and a good read if you are into books or just listen to lovely music on a good sound system. Breakfast is great and can be enjoyed on the terrace! Wifi is free in the living room but not in the bedroom which is good as you can completely switch off from the outside world. The house is design styled and the furnishing is homely and with taste! Do not hesitate to walk down to the beach and up again but you may also get a taxi. The girls are excellent. I was travelling solo but never felt alone in this wonderful villa! I want to go back!
