Property information

Once the residence of Rio de Janeiro's Governor, our guest house offers five bedrooms, including a separate house, a bungalow and a swimming pool. All guests have independent entrance and keys, and social distancing and Covid Protocols are in place. The 1930's mansion is set in 1700 square meters of tropical gardens where small monkeys, humming birds, and toucans make their home among the fruit trees and many rare plants and flowers.

Neighbourhood information

We are located in the heart of Rio's charming historic quarter, Santa Teresa. Often referred to as the “Montmartre of Rio”, Santa Teresa is a mix of cobblestone streets, colonial houses and panoramic views. Mingle with the eccentric residents and enjoy the Bohemian flavour and authentic, non-touristy experience. Within 5 minutes walk from our house you'll find a great variety of restaurants, bars, music, cultural centers and museums. We are well served by local buses and taxis, and the nearest Metro is Gloria station. The main sights of Rio are only a short taxi ride away: Sugar Loaf and Christ Statue - 15 minutes Copacabana - 20 minutes Ipanema 35 minutes Lapa for nightlife and Samba music - 10 minutes Centro and the historic center - 10 minutes
