The location in Santa Theresa, the view from our room, the garden & breakfast was nice.
The steps up to the room I felt were dangerous they need a handrail.

Not the best
The host and team were very friendly and helpful
The bed was awful unfortunately which really impacted our enjoyment, very little sleep was had. It was rustic which we liked appearance wise but the shower leaked through the wall into the bedroom which wasn’t great

The perfect stay in Santa Teresa!
This is a beautiful house in Santa Teresa with a great swimming pool. Bindu and Antoine are superb hosts and they gave us great insight of things to do in Santa Teresa and in Rio. The breakfast was varied and delicious. We had a fantastic and quiet room away from the main house and with a beautiful view to downtown. It felt like staying in a treehouse where monkeys, birds and butterflies came to visit us. This is the perfect place to stay in Santa Teresa with easy access to our favourite bars and restaurants.

Oasis near the centre of Rio
Run by a lovely hospitable couple who speak excellent English this is an exceptional guest house in a lovely quiet part of Rio. We stayed in bungalow no 2 which was so comfortable and clean with a great rain shower and upstairs area, gardens are beautiful and well maintained. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance and area felt safe to wander around in. Bindu organised a couple of tours for us , we particularly enjoyed going out with Claudio to see the historic parts of Rio. Such an amazing city and this was the perfect place to stay.

Great option, especially for those traveling on a budget.
Awesome breakfast: really generous helping of fruit, eggs, cheese, bread, tea/coffee and cereal. The portions were so large I was usually so full I wouldn't even need to eat lunch. Nice Hosts: Bindu and Antoine were really nice hosts. Always happy to give travel tips, answer question and they really had a positive vibe/attitude. Aesthetics: The place itself was beautiful from the outdoor areas to the interior design. As an animal person, it was also really cool to see different kinds of birds, lizards and the pet turtles. Location: I loved Santa Teresa, as many other reviews suggest its a great place to mix with locals but still quite safe as well as do tourist activities. Also really great hikes and awesome views.
Comfort: The biggest thing for me was the lack of air conditioning especially in the middle of Brazilian summer, a fan really doesn't do the job. The property is also a bit small, it's hard to tell from the pictures but there isn't much space to roam. Even the pool is only about 4 metres long, great for cooling yourself off in the heat but not ideal for a swim. Check Out: I'm nitpicking a little here but an 11 am check out is slightly early, most properties I've been to, allow for a midday check out especially on weekends. You're also typically allowed to stay on the property and use any shared facilities until you're ready to leave, provided you've checked out of your room. Therefore, I was a little disappointed to learn that if I wanted to remain on the property until my flight later that day, I would have to pay extra. At the very least, they did let me leave my stuff in the garage for free.

Spectacular setting with very helpful owners and a great breakfast
An absolutely beautiful setting, great rooms (I tried two) and a fantastic breakfast! The owners are very helpful. And there’s a lovely bar 5 minutes walk away. I can’t recommend this place more highly!
There was nothing I didn’t like

Comfortable stay in friendly, personal guest house.
Breakfast was very nice and served in the garden. The pool was great to at the end of a warm day in Rio. The neighborhood is very green (lots of trees and birds) and has plenty of good restaurants and bars. The owners provided many helpful tips concerning safety and suggestions on what to visit Rio de Janeiro. I would love to come back in the future.

Had a lovely time many thanks
Traditional house with lovely period rooms, it had character! It’s also in a great location, with bars and restaurants near. we found it easy to get taxi’s into the main Tourist areas and back.
For those with limited movement, the stairs in the upper rooms could be an issue, but I know the owners are at pains to explain this to all that book.

Wonderful structure and location, good breakfast, calm district, full of nature, nice neighborhood, friendly hosts
The smell of the room was really unpleasant (horse-stall like.. probably related to the curtains, or to some fornitures). Suggestions from the hosts were some times discordant, and a bit pessimistic.

Fantastic Casa with beautiful garden!
Beautiful house , with a beautiful garden in a quiet part of Santa Teresa. We stayed in the bungalow (no 4) and had a good view on the garden. Within 5-10 min walking distance there are good bars and restaurants with live music. Breakfast is fantastic and the owners are very friendly and helpful, giving you lots of tips for your stay in Rio. Would love to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay in Casa Beleza! The hosts & staff are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Casa Beleza has a beautiful garden with a nice swimming pool that we enjoyed a lot. The neighbourhood is safe and much more quiet than the copacabana where we used to stay. The perfect ending of our days in Rio! I 100% recommend this accommodation.
Nothing, it was perfect.

Passable
Nice facilities and area. Good breakfast nicely served in the garden. Great pool and garden. Compared to hotel it was a big room.
Bed was not good. Instead of one big madras we had two madrasses that kept drifting apart. Bed was too soft. Cleanliness was OK but not perfect, e.g. dirty drawers and closet. Private bathroom but across public hallway. All in all not competitive with other offers
