This is a really fantastic guesthouse. Lydie and the team were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our room was lovely, beautifully furnished, comfy beds, nice bathroom, and a good shower. Breakfast was great, every morning there were breads, fresh fruits, eggs and cakes and it was always nice to meet the other guests to discuss their experiences of Rio .... more

The Pousada is in Santa Teresa. We booked the airport transfer which is really comfortable. Keep in mind when visiting Brazil that most taxi drivers don´t know all the little pousadas, so an organized transfer is the safest and easiest way to get there. The neighbourhood is really quiet but you can hear the airplanes from the domestic airport as... more

If you like accommodation which comes with a warm friendly and informal atmosphere ,spotlessly clean rooms and an excellent location then pousada pitanga can be highly recommended. Lydie and her staff are so helpful. Despite our very early morning arrival from the airport we were personally greeted by Lydie and her husband. Our room was ready for us which was... more

I cannot say enough nice things about the Pousada Pitanga, the lovely Lydie and her wonderful staff. We were lucky enough to arrive on the night of her birthday and had a wonderful dinner at a Churrascaria (Brazilian steak house) - which is quite amazing considering my partner and I are both vegetarians. After the meal and a few Caipirinhas... more

My girlfriend and I had a flying visit to Rio, staying only two nights but as my girlfriend said as our taxi pulled away from Pousada Pitanga, it felt like we were leaving family behind. The pousada was a very tasteful and tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of Rio. I don´t write many reviews on trip advisor but... more

Owner should advise customers about ATM issues in the town, had the worst time trying to find an ATM, there is only one on town and does not work most of the time, the Pousada does not accept any other form of payment other than reals. Also had problems with my ATM card and needed to use the phone to... more

Lydie Antoine, owner

I thought that on Trip Advisor, people were supposed to leave comments about quality of the place, of the rooms, owner, how they were nicely (or not) welcomed, breakfast, etc.... I am very happy to know that this family enjoyed so much the nice 50m² room they were staying in, the FREE early check in we offered them, the nice...

First of all, apologies to Lydie for the late review. When we were searching for a Pousda to stay in Santa Theresa there seemed to be so many good ones, but what a stroke of luck in picking the Pitanga. We were picked up in Leblon by Junior who Lydie only uses and i would thoroughly recommend him. He took... more

What a find! We'd been to Rio a few times and had already been up to Santa Theresa on the Bonde and were looking to stay there for a couple of nights on this trip. The place can be a bit tricky to find, make sure you know where you are going before you set off as the chances are... more

Upon our arrival, Lydie and her staff were more than accommodating. We felt as if we were staying at a friends house. Everything was clean, the food was excellent. The fruit was fresh, the bread was baked daily, eggs were cooked to order, juice was squeezed each morning etc, etc... They gave us great insight as to where to go... more

This pousada is in Santa Teresa, which is a bohemian area in Rio. There are lots of lovely cobbled winding streets and good restaurants and bars. We felt very safe walking around at night. From the pousada to the main strip of restaurants is only about 10 minutes. Our room was lovely and spacious, bed very comfortable and a powerful... more
