We only stayed two days in the Loft room at the the start of our trip to Brazil - what a mistake!! Really beautiful place to stay in Rio. If you want to relax away from it all, then this is the place for you! Access is easy and enjoyable taking the chalana. Silvia was a fantastic host and went... More

First stay at Utropico was very good, but second could be better. The breakfast is the same every day, and you are completely locked at the island, when the owners are out - you can't go anywhere. The floor in the bathroom, was falling apart, and it was not comfortable at all. Good place, if you just want to relax... More

We live in Rio and choose Utropico to escape from the bustling city life for just a few days. We could not have made a better choice! This boutique guesthouse has everything you need to relax and "escape" from the daily routine. Access to the guesthouse via the chalana boat crossing the canal was easy and well explained by Silvia... More

My husband and I stayed here for only a couple days. We found this place only after booking another place so we could only stay a few days. First of all the guesthosue is spacious. My husband and I didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Also, the minibar prices were very reasonable and not overpriced like... More

Our first experience in Rio.....was an experience of a lifetime! Silvia, Francisco & Family......made us feel as if we were part of their family. Always available for recommendations and help of where to go, what to do, what to see as a local would want to experience. Just like a Carioca!!! Breakfast was always delicious and more than we could... More

It doesn't matter that's is a little bit outside of downtown. Go and enjoy real hospitality! La mejor atención y servicio. Nos sentimos como visitando buenos amigos. Un desayuno maravilloso, unos corazones los dueños y el... More

In the spectacular surroundings of Rio the Guest house ran by Sylvia and Francisco really made our trip. Only a short distance from all that Rio has to offer this place was like our own little piece of tranquil paradise. We fell in love with it from the first minute we arrived. The loft complex in which we stayed was... More

I totally agree with all the previous reviews. I stayed 4 nights with my daughter, her new husband and my 1 year old grandchild. We were in the Studio, which was roomy enough for us all to be very comfortable. The housing, grounds, location and hosts are fantastic. Paulino added a special touch. Ever request was responded to immediately yet... More

We stayed at Utropico for nine days and would not have had the time we did had we stayed somewhere else. It was perfect! It looks exactly like the pictures but what you can't see is the feel of the place; it felt like our own little paradise, like a home away from home. Sylvia and her family and staff... More
