Gentilezza di tutti dalla proprietaria ad ogni membro dello staff, sempre pronti a consigli o aiuti anche per prenotazioni online. La casa è fantastica, bella e molto curata, giardino, piscina e vista panoramica rilassanti. Posizione ottima per visitare Santa Teresa. Abbiamo chiesto se fosse possibile avere la stanza un po’ prima perché eravamo già in città e ci sono venuti incontro.

I had the most magical stay at Mama Ruisa. I was traveling on my own and immediately felt at home. Jean-Michel, Daniel and all the staff were so warm and friendly, gave excellent tips and went above and beyond to look after me. The room was gorgeous and the bed was so so comfortable. Missing it already. I’ll definitely be back!

The property is exquisitely refurbished, with a lovely garden and veranda and even a swimming pool. I loved the place! So, so beautiful. On top of that the location is super cozy and nice and the staff were all so kind and helpful. They booked my transfer to and from the airport and even booked me a massage on a very short notice and went beyond and above to make me feel at ease. I really felt at home and as if I was visiting friends (rather than staying in an hotel). I was traveling solo so that made all the difference! They even have the friendliest pets (a dog and a cat) that came to visit me while in my room. The owner is super friendly and very flexible in terms of check in and check out time. I couldn’t have picked a better place! Highly recommended!

An absolute gem in Santa Teresa with views over Guanabara Bay to Niteroi (unlike Aprazivel and Tereze which have northern views). Most discreet mansion house on a hill furnished with the best of Brazilian modern (1950s-1960s) furniture. Delightful pool area, just accept the occasional road noise to remind you are in a town (but where don't you in Rio?). But very quiet at night. It's a must for those with good taste/de bon gout.

The property has this magical vibe of teleporting the guests into a romanticised version of Rio, surrounded with beautiful brazilian design pieces and the stunning view from the balcony. The staff is very attentive and discreet in the same time. The pool and the covered outdoor area are also adding up for a perfect stay. There are many restaurants and bars in the area easily reachable by foot.

Edmond Paesi Bassi

Beautiful property with incredibly well thought out and amazing interior design. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were super helpful in giving us tips and advice on what to do in Rio. Great location in Santa Teresa too.

The hotel has an excellent location if you would like yo visit the city of Rio. It is an amazingly well maintained historical house. They have a lot of staff which makes sure you feel like home and they keep everything perfectly clean. We met also the owner which helped us with a lot of useful information.
