“Unique, lovely and inspiring.”

It’s was stylish, comfortable, accessible and friendly.

Gorgeous place in a great neighbourhood. Everything from the room to the lounge and the pool is so stylish and a pleasure to look at. Staff was great as well, special thanks to Pablo for fixing me up a homemade electrolyte drink when I was feeling a bit unwell :)

“A beautiful oasis in the midst of a crazy city.”

It was beautiful, very clean, extremely stylish, extra comfortable and the staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble but they felt like friends. Thankyou to Daniel, Gabrielle, Pablo, Andreas, Carole and Emmanuelle and all the staff we didn’t get to say hi to in person but who worked equally hard to make our stay feel like a special home from home.

The location is excellent, close to fun neighbourhoods but tucked away and peaceful. The pool area and views are stunning and the rooms are comfortable and clean.

“Fabulous stay at an oasis”

The staff are super helpful and the stay is very personalised, you will immediately feel like at home. The food is very nice (breakfast and snacks offered throughout the day). The villa is gorgeous, great place to enjoy the pool in this oasis in Santa Teresa. Quiet at night, which allows a good night sleep. Ended up going back to stay here before leaving Rio and can definitely see ourselves going back!

Very kind staff. Nice atmosphere. Good breakfast, though simple.

“An exceptional city centre stay.”

Our 2 night stay at this beautifully renovated property was excellent, made especially so by the friendly and helpful staff. With a delightful garden it is very much an oasis in the city centre. Our room was extremely spacious and comfortable, and although offering only light bites the food both during the day and at breakfast was very good.

“Just top”

“Highly recommend this beautiful place, can’t wait to stay again.”

The staff immediately welcomed you with refreshments and a tour with a brief history of the property. They were superb. The room was gorgeous as was the entire hotel.

“The team here really make you feel comfortable and at home”

Beautiful villa high above Rio

“Really so wonderful - an oasis in an urban setting”

This hotel is spectacular - The breakfast was delicious and the staff accommodating. The rooms are huge with a balcony and there is lots of extra space to use if needed. The pool and the planting are divine - really lovely watching hummingbirds dive into the pool and fly away. A very special place to stay.

“A Hidden Gem of Calm and Elegance in Rio”

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Paranaguá, a beautiful boutique hotel full of charm and character. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive — from reception to the bar and the breakfast team. Everything was perfect and it’s truly an ideal place to relax after a long day of sightseeing in Rio. The atmosphere is calm, elegant, and welcoming. The hotel is not located in the main tourist area, but that actually adds to its appeal. Ubers are plentiful, inexpensive, and make getting around very easy. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful, stylish place to stay — a real gem hidden in Rio.

“Can't wait to come back!”

The whole stay was just absolutely fabulous. The lovely people working there make you feel right at home and everything is done with so much eye for detail. Can't wait to stay here again.

“One of the best places I have ever stayed in Brazil!”

An absolutely stunning place to stay. Immaculately designed with huge attention to detail. The food is amazing and the staff could not be more friendly or helpful.

“This beautiful and stylish boutique hotel exceeds all expectations!”

This beautiful boutique hotel exceeds all expectations! It is more of an exceptionally stylish home than a hotel. The rooms (suites) are spacious, tastefully decorated with ultra-modern bathrooms that some big name hotels could take as an example. The large, palm-fringed pool is not just an alibi pool, but can actually be used for sporty swimming. The staff are not only extremely friendly, but also cordial and fulfil every wish of their guests. This idyllic hideaway in the beautiful Santa Teresa neighbourhood is a thousand times better than the "big" hotels on Copacabana! We would always stay here again when we are in Rio. The only sad experience was leaving the hotel!

“We will be back!”

Excellent host and location. Incredible decor.

Bf was great... But wish had more options.

“Amazing place”

This is an amazing tiny hotel to relax in Rio. The building, garden and pool are absolutely stunning and the team is so professional and helpful.

“Excellent boutique hotel a great location, with wonderfu, helpful staff.”

Everything. The rooms, the food, the location and the staff. Absolutely the best hotel during our 17 day in Brazil. Highly recommended!

The village itself is wonderful
