Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This hotel is more like a large house with only 7 rooms set on the top of a hill in Santa Teresa overlooking the city of Rio and the Sugarloaf mountain. The views are truly spectacular from the room and the outside area by the pool. Both the rooms and the public areas of the hotel and the grounds were immaculately clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of interesting history associated with the estate and the furniture and decor reflect that. We felt that we were treated by the staff as valued house guests, not just visitors. Dinner was excellent and good value for money. The breakfast included hot and cold options with several items that were locally produced. Portion sizes were great and all the food tasted wonderful. Service was excellent with the chance to eat outside with an amazing view or inside. The local area is interesting and we walked into Santa Teresa town. The historic tram can stop right outside the entrance to the grounds. The grounds and the hotel are only accessible through a gate which has 24/7 security with armed guards. We certainly had no concerns for safety during our stay.
Negative: A very minor point. The hotel is set in a private estate which has guards at the entrance. When we arrived there was a few minutes delay. However once the hotel notified the guards of our name then it was easy. The hotel is correctly marked for Uber and so drivers could find it easily. For google maps the security entrance is marked as the hotel which is incorrect. Some people may be upset at the flights into Rio SUD airport which in the morning from about 8am can fly over the hotel. It didn't worry us, we like seeing the aeroplanes curve in to land and there's nothing the hotel can do about the flight path.
Summary: Fantastic short break at this wonderful, secluded, small hotel with a truly amazing view of Rio.
