L’accueil était chaleureux, les chambres confortables et le petit déjeuner délicieux. Un vrai havre de paix dans un très beau quartier de Rio !

The property is beautiful. The host is wonderful, super friendly and offered many great suggestions. They offered a lovely breakfast with a wide variety of food, including assorted fruits, crepes, breads, eggs, fresh juice, coffee & tea.
The moist tropical climate has made the bed covers and curtains quite musty. They need to be washed.

Beautiful, tropical property on an old estate. In a nice, safe neighborhood.

Gorgeous home from home, with fab hosts! Lots of character and lovely grounds.
Great location in Santa Teresa- easy to walk down the hill to the metro station and easy to take buses and taxis around.

Bindu and her husband are AMAZING hosts and made me feel right at home. When they learned of my interests, they were sure to give me their personal recommendations of places to visit and go while in Rio!
The location is walking distance to everything but quiet enough to get a great night's sleep. As a solo woman traveling, I felt extremely safe walking at night, and there was a guard posted on one of the nearby streets as well.
My bed was comfortable, room was spacious, and breakfast was tasty with the natural.juice being different each day :-).
I would HIGHLY recommend staying here (Sta Theresa) over the busier areas in Rio. As I stayed in Copacabana and Casa Beleza the only thing to note is that sometimes Ubers don't care to take you because it's a lot of driving uphill and some drivers don't know how to follow the GPS to the house (my last driver got lost is how I know). But this only happened to me once, and I wouldn't change staying here at all as Bindu also has a taxi service she offers guests!
Everything was great! I would just keep a landmark handy for Uber if you don't rely on the called taxi service which is higher priced.

The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The building and rooms are beautifully decorated and the breakfasts are brilliant.

Gorgeous property in the hilly district of Santa Teresa. Friendly dog and two tortoises wander around the gardens.
Note there are steps to negotiate with luggage to all rooms. The rooms external to the house have lots more steep steps.

We really enjoyed staying here. The house and the garden are beautiful and the hosts made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is amazing and we enjoyed the terrace every morning. We loved Santa Teresa neighbourhood and would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful house in Santa Teresa with a great swimming pool. Bindu and Antoine are superb hosts and they gave us great insight of things to do in Santa Teresa and in Rio. The breakfast was varied and delicious. We had a fantastic and quiet room away from the main house and with a beautiful view to downtown. It felt like staying in a treehouse where monkeys, birds and butterflies came to visit us. This is the perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa with easy access to our favourite bars and restaurants.

Awesome breakfast: really generous helping of fruit, eggs, cheese, bread, tea/coffee and cereal. The portions were so large I was usually so full I wouldn't even need to eat lunch.
Nice Hosts: Bindu and Antoine were really nice hosts. Always happy to give travel tips, answer question and they really had a positive vibe/attitude.
Aesthetics: The place itself was beautiful from the outdoor areas to the interior design. As an animal person, it was also really cool to see different kinds of birds, lizards and the pet turtles.
Location: I loved Santa Teresa, as many other reviews suggest its a great place to mix with locals but still quite safe as well as do tourist activities. Also really great hikes and awesome views.
Comfort: The biggest thing for me was the lack of air conditioning especially in the middle of Brazilian summer, a fan really doesn't do the job. The property is also a bit small, it's hard to tell from the pictures but there isn't much space to roam. Even the pool is only about 4 metres long, great for cooling yourself off in the heat but not ideal for a swim.
Check Out: I'm nitpicking a little here but an 11 am check out is slightly early, most properties I've been to, allow for a midday check out especially on weekends. You're also typically allowed to stay on the property and use any shared facilities until you're ready to leave, provided you've checked out of your room. Therefore, I was a little disappointed to learn that if I wanted to remain on the property until my flight later that day, I would have to pay extra. At the very least, they did let me leave my stuff in the garage for free.

Run by a lovely hospitable couple who speak excellent English this is an exceptional guest house in a lovely quiet part of Rio. We stayed in bungalow no 2 which was so comfortable and clean with a great rain shower and upstairs area, gardens are beautiful and well maintained. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance and area felt safe to wander around in.
Bindu organised a couple of tours for us , we particularly enjoyed going out with Claudio to see the historic parts of Rio. Such an amazing city and this was the perfect place to stay.

An absolutely beautiful setting, great rooms (I tried two) and a fantastic breakfast! The owners are very helpful. And there’s a lovely bar 5 minutes walk away. I can’t recommend this place more highly!
There was nothing I didn’t like
4.6
Breakfast was very nice and served in the garden. The pool was great to at the end of a warm day in Rio. The neighborhood is very green (lots of trees and birds) and has plenty of good restaurants and bars. The owners provided many helpful tips concerning safety and suggestions on what to visit Rio de Janeiro. I would love to come back in the future.
4.6
Traditional house with lovely period rooms, it had character! It’s also in a great location, with bars and restaurants near. we found it easy to get taxi’s into the main Tourist areas and back.
For those with limited movement, the stairs in the upper rooms could be an issue, but I know the owners are at pains to explain this to all that book.
4.6
Everything! Amazing hosts, the best breakfast, comfortable beds, unique Rio tips and just a great experience start to finish.
Nothing.

Really nice place to stay. Great owners that are very helpful. Excellent breakfast. Plenty of nearby restaurants and bars.
4.6
Wonderful structure and location, good breakfast, calm district, full of nature, nice neighborhood, friendly hosts
The smell of the room was really unpleasant (horse-stall like.. probably related to the curtains, or to some fornitures).
Suggestions from the hosts were some times discordant, and a bit pessimistic.

we really enjoyed our stay at Casa Beleza. The room was great, breakfast absolutely delicious, quiet location yet close to everything, and the owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. A great Rio experience!

Lovely property in a great location. Great breakfast. The host was wonderful as well.

Beautiful house , with a beautiful garden in a quiet part of Santa Teresa. We stayed in the bungalow (no 4) and had a good view on the garden. Within 5-10 min walking distance there are good bars and restaurants with live music. Breakfast is fantastic and the owners are very friendly and helpful, giving you lots of tips for your stay in Rio. Would love to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay in Casa Beleza! The hosts & staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Casa Beleza has a beautiful garden with a nice swimming pool that we enjoyed a lot. The neighbourhood is safe and much more quiet than the copacabana where we used to stay. The perfect ending of our days in Rio! I 100% recommend this accommodation.
Nothing, it was perfect.
4.6
Nice facilities and area. Good breakfast nicely served in the garden. Great pool and garden.
Compared to hotel it was a big room.
Bed was not good. Instead of one big madras we had two madrasses that kept drifting apart. Bed was too soft. Cleanliness was OK but not perfect, e.g. dirty drawers and closet. Private bathroom but across public hallway. All in all not competitive with other offers
4.6
Casa Beleza lives up to its name "House of Beauty" in every way. Our recently built guest suite is a separate building on the grounds surrounded by groomed mature gardens and tropical jungle. Our suite was spacious with lots of sitting room, 3 separate private balconies. The a/c worked perfectly and is positioned so that it doesn't blow directly onto the bed, although we usually opened our sliding doors to enjoy the evening breezes and bird song. Lots of great bedding & towels. Beautiful breakfast served each morning in the nicest of settings. And, if you wish to use it, there is a lovely secluded pool.
The owner is a wonderful source of knowledge in English about where to visit, eat, and obtain any professional services needed. She speaks several other languages as well. She also arranged for us to be picked up at the airport by Fernando which was much appreciated.
Casa Beleza is located in the lovely Santa Teresa area of Rio so you get the best of both worlds: a taste of real Rio plus all the tourist areas easily reached by Taxi or Uber. An interesting short walk takes you to 2 fabulous restaurants: the Aprazivel and the Tereza with many other bars and cafes nearby.
It is a very rare experience when travelling for us to want to return early every afternoon to our accommodation, but we did here just for the pleasure of sitting on one of our terraces enjoying our before dinner drinks in the tropical forest, watching the tiny monkeys swing past on vines, listening to the colourful birds, and watching the pet turtles creep along the garden paths.
We'd stayed 4 nights in the King suite ocean view at the Fairmont Copacabana when we arrived but we preferred our 4 nights at Casa Beleza.
What a wonderful ending to a trip to Brazil!
Nothing. If I'd written up in advance my idea of the perfect place to stay to experience Rio, I would have missed some things that Casa Beleza takes for granted!
