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

I have seen various reviews here and I would like to say that my experience with the owners was wonderful. 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. Compared to many of the other... More

Our stay at Tropico de Capricornio was disappointing to say the least. Let’s start with the positives: The Pousada is in an excellent location on a hill overlooking the Ferradura bay. The grounds are immaculate and the rooms are ample and clean, each with a comfortably furnished balcony. Also, unlike many of the “upscale” Pousadas in Buzios, there are no... More

Thank you very much for your constructive review. We appreciated your positives critics. The Banana plantation house wireless system is new and working well with a stronger signal, the solar heater was and is working well and the electric problem has been resolved after 4 days of a local specialist job. The explanations that I provided you were badly interpreted,... More

I think calling the Tropico de Capricornio a boutique hotel is slightly misleading. My understanding of boutique hotels is that they are usually high end, luxurious and “designer chic” Make no mistake, this is more akin to a guest house than a boutique hotel. The Tropico villa did not offer the style or service that one expects when booking into... More

Thank you very much for your review. Apparently, you had a bad stay in Buzios, we are sorry about that. About the prices, it's a problem for all pousadas and restaurants: the change rate US$ and Euro to Reais are very bad and unfortunately, for you and us, this situation is not ready to change. I do not know if... More

Tropico de Capricornio is a wonderful pousada in Alto Buzios. The owner Ellios and his wife (which were in Europe at the time) are great host. You really feel welcome there. We stayed at the St Tropez suite which had a beautiful view from the terrace and a great bathroom with a jacuzzi. A really wonderful little pearl in Buzios More

I can recommend the pousada, particularly the Saint Tropez room with fantastic views over the Ferrudura Bay. With a lovely refreshing breeze from the heat the position is ideal with just a short walk downhillto at least 6 beaches ( a cheap taxi back is recommended!). The pool must be one of the largest on offer and Elios and Christiane... More

Lovely pousada, on a hill overlooking the Buzios peninsula. Comfortable room with terrace, large bathroom with jacuzzi and sunny pool area. 15 minute stroll into town; easy to get taxis back after dark. Very friendly owners, breakfast on the terrace a particular treat! More

Me and my wife spent the Easter Holiday at this lovely Hotel/Pousada. This was the perfect escape from the big city - Sao Paulo, where we live for the time being. Fresh air, beautiful view over Buzios, charming rooms, good service and it all comes together in a very relaxing environment. We are already planning of going back. More

Wonderful breakfast. The Swiss-French couple that runs the place gives you a wonderfull time. Do not forget asking Mr. Elios to turn on the downstairs dry sauna!!! Really good place with spectacular swimming pool with nice view to Buzios city and its bays. More
