The brochure and website for Vila D'Este made us pick this rather than Casa Brancas (next door). Our room was a "garden" room with no terrace or balcony and the maid kept leaving the windows open. There are lots of mosquitoes in Buzios and plenty found their way into our room. On the plus side, the staff are always willing... more

Just popped back to Tripadvisor to get a link to send to a family member to come and visit Buzios and was SHOCKED!! to see this was rated above Casas Brancas. It has made me question the ratings on tripadvisor for the first time. We stayed here the last night of our trip to Buzios because we loved Buzios but... more

The Vila d'Este is a beautifully appointed hotel a short walk from a bustling harbour-front with great shopping, bars and restaurants. Our room was medium-sized and had both a ceiling fan & A/C for... more

Great location and the view is amazing only a short walk into town and there are several good restaraunts nearby. The pool is small but a great place to chill out and the Sauna is great. The bar is small but the staff are very helpful and they have some great food. The rooms were very small and basic but... more

I stayed at Vila D'Este and was pleasantly surprised by this cozy hotel. This was our alternate hotel as our first choice hotel was booked. It turned out to be a stroke of luck. This hotel is very charming and well positioned along the boardwalk. It is a short walk to the main strip in Buzios and about a 10... more
