Just finished a month long trip in Brazil with a superb stay at this brilliant Santa Theresa haven. It was the perfect place to start each day and a real treat to come back to after a day exploring Rio. The house is beautiful, we had such a nice room looking over the pool&garden, amazing breakfasts and superb hosting by... More

Stunning house, stylish and comfortable rooms, with generous and welcoming hosts, in a great location. I spent a week here, and can thoroughly recommend it. To top it all, the great Bar de Gomez is just round the corner. Not to be missed!

My last moment at Casa Beleza for Rio Carnaval was swaying and dancing with Bindu, her family, and the other guests as a Super Mario bloco street parade passed by the villa, with drums beating and singing and hundreds in costume. With the airport taxi hovering around the corner, it was a goodbye party at its best! Staying at Casa... More

My Fiance and I spent 6 days, 5 nights at Casa Beleza and have missed it every night since! Casa is located in Santa Teresa, a charming area outside of the downtown core. We felt very safe for the entire time we were in Santa Teresa and I would recommend anyone coming to Rio to stay there, oppose to Copacabana.... More

The good news is that I had just arrived in one of the world's most beautiful cities. The bad news is that I came bearing a horrific flu bug. What could have been a disaster was much mitigated by the fact that I stayed in an oasis of beauty and comfort, perched high above the city -- a stone-and-stucco refuge... More

Very beautiful place. If you are looking for something a bit nicer but still with a fair price this is a great choice. Love Bindu, she was very accommodating and the standards of this house a top notch. From the nice scent on the towel to the clean bed linen the staff here went the extra steps to ensure Casa... More

We spent three nights in the bungalow. Everything was as advertised. It was a beautiful, serene spot. Breakfast was wonderful, but what put this place over the top were Bindu and Antoine. Whatever we asked for, they delivered. Bindu sent Junior, a local driver/guide to pick us up from the airport about 9 am on our arrival date and he... More

Casa Beleza is a great location to stay when visiting Rio. Very friendly staff and host (Bindu). Breakfast was perfect, which was served outside, next to the pool. Looking forward to visit Casa Beleza again in the future!

Everything about our experience at Casa Beleza was smooth and simple - the easiest booking experience of all the hotels we used. Settling the balance, however, was a whole different case and days were wasted taxiing around Rio trying to find a bank that liked a Lloyds card! Dear Bindu even offered to lend us some! The room in the... More
