We spent 3 days in Buzios and stayed at the Tropico de Capricornio. The owners are very nice and helpful but our rooms looked nothing like we expected. They were clean and very large but too dark for our liking. There were other rooms in their home with great views but none were available. The breakfast in the mornings were... More

This property sits above Buzios, giving a panoramic view of the bay. The grounds are quite vast and full of beautiful, flowering tropical shrubs; and the hotel main building and plantation rooms are spacious, high ceilinged and have an airy feel. Breakfast is beautifully presented, delicious and with croissants that France could proudly offer. The owners have a lovely, friendly... More

All i wanted was peace, relaxation and tranquility and that is exactly what i got. Its nice to be up on the hill away from the noise and chaos of Buzios town... More

Buzios is a lovely upmarket/fishing town 180km east of Rio. Away from the town and looking down from Alto Buzios to the beaches surrounding the pensinsula is a row of massive houses tucked away in the hills. There you'll find the wonderful Tropico de Capricornio. As we were on our honeymoon and it was the low season, we were upgraded... More

We stayed at Tropico de Capricornio in early Mar 12, and found it one of the highlights of our honeymoon thus far. You know you're not doing too badly when the toughest thing you have to deal with is the decision of which stunning beach to visit that day. The location is not in the middle of town, instead up...

This was my first trip to Brazil, traveling along with someone who knows the country intimately. The trip started horrendously when we had our passports stolen at the bus station in Rio. We had to cut our trip short but what a beautiful few days. The property's view of Ferradura is stunning and our room (St Tropez) will be always... More

They did everything and more that is to be expected and I enjoyed the quiet peaceful week we spent there. If your idea is to find a quiet peaceful hotel this is the place.
