“A jungle paradise hidden away in the coolest suburb in Rio”
Everything! It is obvious how much care has been put in to the property, the service and its maintenance. Claudio and Gabriel were incredible hosts, so kind and caring and keen to ensure we had the best stay possible. We stayed in the Carioca suite which was incredible, beautifully designed and a real retreat. We loved the private plunge pool and the amazing views from so many angles. The location itself is very special — Santa Teresa is a really special place, and Casa Gerânio is nested in the beautiful jungle hill within in. The breakfast was also AMAZING, and they were able to cater for my food intolerances without me feeling like I was missing out. All the staff were also so eager to help and ensure we were well looked after.

Great location although not in the tourist areas, we loved the location and how unique and artsy it was. Really easy getting around with uber anyway. The room was also really amazing with an amazing view and pool overlooking the main pool area. Truly a view to die for. The breakfast was different each day with some amazing homemade cakes. The owners and the staff were really friendly, attentive and incredibly helpful.

“Absolutely perfect”
This is the most beautiful place to stay! We enjoyed it so much, we felt safe and everyone was so nice. The owner helped us so much because the airline lost one of our suitcases. He contacted them while we were explaining the city. Thank you so much again. He also gave us so many good recommendations, and whenever we had questions, we could write to him. We absolutely can recommend this beautiful place and I hope we come back one day.

“Lovely and picturesque: perfect to celebrate our wedding anniversary.”
Casa Geranio is a wonderful boutique hotel, in a beautiful old villa nestled against a steep hill. The rooms are situated around a well kept garden. Breakfast is a treat, with fresh fruit, fruit juice and homemade cakes every morning.
