The location is absolutely fantastic - right on the Copacabana and close to Ipanema. The rooms are fine (not all are en suite but you have your own bathroom so not a problem). But the lounge area is extremely comfortable, the breakfast's are out of this world and the view from the balcony is truly iconic. And if that's not... more

The best location, views and service! Marta is very friendly and helpful and she absolutely made our trip. She is very very generous with breakfast, too! We definitely are going to stay at Marta's again :) Bob and Nina more

My husband and I stayed at the Rio Guesthouse for 6 nights in April 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Perhaps most importantly, the Guesthouse is in a fantastic location, just at the Ipanema end of Copacabana beach. It is ideally situated for both beaches. Just to emphasise how close to the heart of things you are, there's a shared... more

We visited Rio for a short stay in December and stayed at the gorgeous Rio Guest House (Marta's Guest House). I want to recommend this B&B to anyone thinking of visiting.

It was terrific... more

I am travelling with my partner for 8 months around the globe and we have definitely toughed it out in some places, so Marta's Guest House was a perfect escape and treat in Rio. The views are absolutely amazing. Marta is a lovely lady who is very generous with her time and she can help you do whatever you want... more

We have just finished a week’s stay at Marta’s Bed and Breakfast, and can not be happier. We have been to Rio 5 times before staying at the Marriott and other 5 star Frproperties and we will always stay here in the future. The experience is just exceptional. Marta and her husband John have created a world class experience for... more

I recently spent 4 nights at Marta's Guest House and couldn't have asked for anything more!! The rooms are cute and comfortable, the breakfasts are absolutely delicious (gorgeous cakes every morning!) and the view from the patio is incredible. The best part about staying here is however Marta - she is so kind and generous and makes you feel instantly... more
