This is a fantastic hotel that was just what the doctor ordered after a three-hour bus ride from Rio de Janeiro. The iced lemon water and chilled champagne offered during check-in, and stunning views across Praia da Ferradura’s horseshoe bay, was the perfect start to a lovely stay. The Insolito is perched on a headland overlooking the crescent-shaped beach, and... More

Amazing 21 room boutique accommodation - the most amazing beds! We ordered one of their mattresses. Food was excellent, great beach lounge, lots of little pools and jacuzzi's everywhere. Not cheap but well worth the money More

This beautiful 20 room hotel lies just outside the main town of Buzios. It is beautifully designed and filled with interesting object d'art, art and books. Each room is uniquely decorated. Our first room was lovely (Room 2) but it was just inside a main door and off a short corridor which made it very noisy thanks to a group... More

The hotel is fully aware of the problem- there are bottles of "Off" located everywhere. Staff were intrigued with my question about why they have not sprayed the surrounding area. The... More

We stayed at the Insolito Hotel for 5 nights in August 2011 and absolutely loved it. As it was winter, the hotel was really quite, but we liked that. We stayed in the Suite Orfeu da Conçeicao, with an extra room for our son. The decoration of the bedrooms is nothing special, but the living room makes up for it.... More

We were so looking forward to this allegedly first class hotel and it fell so short ohe f expectations we left a day early. The service was friendly and helpful and indeed we were upgraded and the food was the best we enjoyed in Brazil, but our bathroom stand of mould and our room was interrupted constantly by both the...

The location of this gem in Buzios is breathtaking. Overlooking the sea and beautiful Ferradura Beach- the views from the rooms couldn't be better. In addition to the beach, the hotel offers 2 swimming pools and a jaccuzi. The interior design of the Insolito is quirky, hip and sophisticated. Both in the rooms and living room areas. The French owner... More
