We stayed here in April 2009. We are so happy we found this place. We were looking for cheap options in Rio, close to the beach, but couldnt find any. So we opted to stay for a few nights in Santa Teresa. I'm so glad we did! We got a taste of Rio that we didnt really expect. Santa Teresa... more

We truly enjoyed our stay at this B&B! Carmen, Fernando, and Luis were excellent hosts. The B&B is beautifully restored. The art work was beautiful. The view from the terrace was incredible. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful -- Luis' hominy and cinnamon cereal was out of this world. The neighborhood was delightful. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank... more

First - the people: Carmen and Fernando were FABULOUS. I cannot say enough about them. They treated us as good friends - they even... more

i thought I wrote a review already. As the other reviews say, Carmen and Fernando are very nice and the house is cool and artistic. I love cats, and have one, so the presence of friendly kitties is a bonus to me. One night it was pouring rain and I didn't feel like venturing out. Luis, Fernando's also-artist brother, popped... more
