I loved the place but I also made a deal with an employee of the hostel and I lost a considerable amount of money. First things first, the place is beautiful and has a great view, if you are allergic to cats or have knee problems this is not the place for you, because it is located on a hill... More

We stayed 4 nights here at the start of our holiday in Brazil and could not have chosen a better place. The location is great - close to the centre and walking distance to some great bars and restaurants in Sta Theresa, and to the metro. You also get a good view over Rio, but the best thing is the...

Stayed here for a couple of nights on my own before a working in Rio in December 2012. It's tucked away up a hill on the windy streets of Santa Teresa, which is the old part of the town, very bohemian and full of artists and great cafes & bars. Would highly recommend staying here to see a slice of... More

A gorgeous Bed & Breakfast, with welcoming staff and wonderfully relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. The Casa is situated on the hill in Santa Teresa, overlooking all of Rio with the most spectacular view from the terrace - just addictive! I could (and did) spend hours just glued to that view, incredible in daylight or by night, in sun or with spectacular... More

We found Casa da Carmem e do Fernando comfortable for a family of 5 and conveniently located, 15 minutes uphill walk from Gloria and 10 minute walk up to Sta. Teresa. The decor is eclectic and fun, the view marvelous, breakfast more than adequate, the owners charming.
