“Great stay”
Helena was the perfect host and so welcoming. Everyday a lovely breakfast was ready for us. The tour with Diogo allowed us to learn about the city and its history. We also thank Diogo for the airport transfers. Casa Caminho is a charming place with a beautiful garden. The house is perfectly located, near the Cristo Redentor train station. We felt very safe during our stay in Casa Caminho.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Casa Caminho do Corcovado. Helena is a lovely host and her home is a beautiful and tranquil place to escape the sometimes intense energy of the city. The breakfasts she made were very tasty and I also recommend Diogo’s tour of the town. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Rio and I learned a lot from him. To find the entrance to Casa Caminho, you have to cross the tram tracks. It is a steep climb from the station but Uber taxis are easy to use and there always seems to be one close by. I am glad I stayed at Casa Caminho do Corcovado. It was a great introduction to my ongoing travels in South America!

“family run and very friendly personable people. A home away from home”
The breakfast was fresh, healthy and delicious. Diogo was an excellent guide, he was a great historian of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil in general, and he ensured I was very comfortable.

“A wonderful experiwnce”
Meeting Helena and Diogo was a treat. Their home is stunning, so welcoming and peaceful within nature. Our chalet was separate from the house and like a little retreat. Order Helena's delicious breakfast, you won't regret it! Thank you so much for such a unique stay xxx

It is near the rail line for Tijuca in a reserve close to the redeemer. Great breakfast, Helena was friendly and accommodating. We were given a personal tour - it was so good to see the city that way. The monkeys were swinging around having fun with the dog. Peaceful and safe. I recommend it 100%

“Beautiful stay with Helena.”
Excellent location to visit Christ the Redeemer, less than 10 min walk. Helena gave us dinner suggestions, with in walking distance. Breakfast was plentiful and has something for everyone. The bungalow was quiet, bed and linens were great. Plenty of hot water. Property is beautiful, like staying in a garden.

“A beautiful place in Rio”
Helena and Diogo do their very best to make your stay in Rio a great one. I loved the old house with the jungle setting and the views of the valley with beautiful flowers, birds and monkeys and of course their lovely dog, George. Breakfast is big and varied and you will never go hungry. It is a great place to stay if you want to be away from the tourist crowds and stay in a safe and secure area but only a short drive away to the main places such as Copacabana and Ipanema etc.

“Beautifully comfortable and homey. Great tour.”
The property was very comfortable, rustic and homely with a great central location. Very close to Christ the redeemer. The best part of the stay we’re the hosts who attended to any and all queries promptly and arranged a lovely driving tour of Rio sites which was very useful if you have short time. In the city.

We arrived very late in pitch black darkness after a long day of travel, but the warmth and kindness we were greeted with made us feel like we came home!

“Gorgeous place!”
Super gorgeous place, with amazing views and sounds of the surrounding jungle. Also a good location, just a bit of a hill to drive up initially. The breakfast is really good and has a lot of options. Both Helena and Diogo were very friendly and helpful. I would definetely stay in this hotel again!

“Outstanding”
Kind hosts, amazing location, you feel like you’re in the jungle but still very close to all the important attractions, safe, quiet at night. Helena even prepared breakfast for us to go because we had an early flight to catch. Recommended!
