I can only echo the reviews from all the previous guests who have raved about Debbie and Luis (& Zulu)! This actually was our first "pousada" and we were not sure what to expect. We arrived really early but were allowed to settle in our rooms and were greeted with fresh coffee and breads (weren't suppose to be there for... more

It is rare that one goes in to accommodations as a guest and leaves as genuine friends. This happened to us and to many others too as you can see from prior reviews. We spent ten fabulous days right after Carnival in Debbie & Luis’ Villa Bambuti and it is an absolute gem of a place. We were also lucky... more

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend escape from Rio where we have been staying for a month. The villa is beautiful and tastefully decorated with an eclectic mix of Brazilian, South African and Moroccan decor. It has an old world traveler feel to the place. We stayed in one of the regular rooms downstairs (there are two... more

We stayed at the Villa Bambuti in Mid February. Words can not express how happy we were. The room was wonderful. Breakfast was amazing. Debbie and Luis helped us with anything we needed. My travels have taken me to six continents, staying a many different types of hotels. Villa Bambuti might have been the best place I have stayed in! more

We arrived tired in the early evening and were immediately given food and drink. This is such a relaxing place to stay and the... more

The decor very special and done w/love - you can tell. There is no way to convey just how welcoming the hosts were. (I had... more

The first few days of our holiday we've spent in Villa Bambuti. The weather was not great (raining), but despite that we've had a great 3-day stay in Buzios. Debbie and Luis made us feel very welcome, great breakfast (only the 3rd day outside on the terrace), small but very convenient room with nice balcony. more

perfect location exquisite service most charming hosts excellent value for money more

My wife and I spent the last two nights of our honeymoon here and highly recommend it. As others have mentioned Debbie and Luis are terrific hosts and do everything they can to make you enjoy your stay – providing snacks and drinks when you arrive; recommending beaches, restaurants, bars and other things to do around town; calling cabs; arranging... more
