“First of all, the place is beautiful. I’ve been in Rio for a while and its not easy to find places that looks like that. second, it’s located in one of the only places in Rio where you can really feel safe at anytime of the day. third and most important, the host Rob is a wonderful guy (who speaks flawless english) that takes care of everything with love. +amazing breakfast +Rob also make tours!! he is a true professional and I really recommend traveling with him because he knows the city very well.”

“Perfect stay. Very clean (spotless) and cute. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast ( something new every morning). Some other perks : safe location, built in outlet converters ( I am from US), laundry service available, hair dryer, minibar, cute/friendly dog and cat roaming around. This place is so lovely and simply perfect. Probably one of my best accomodations.”

“Owners, breakfast, gardening and beauty of the property, quiet, cheap Ubers in either direction (Centro or to beach areas south) or can walk down hill in 10 minutes, dog was friendly but doesn't jump all over guest and demand attention.”

“Excellent rooms, very clean. Beautiful furnishing. Excellent breakfast. I stayed much longer than I originally planned.”

“We had an amazing time at O Veleiro and definitely recommend it. The B&B is located in the hills above Botofogo, which allows you to quickly reach all the areas of Rio. The neighborhood feels very safe, quiet and residential. Easy to walk down to Botofogo or to catch Ubers to other areas and sites. The room itself was very comfortable and clean, with a nice hot shower and good bed and pillows. Great breakfast each morning. After a day of exploring Rio it was great to come back home and relax in the hammocks, enjoying the mature trees and jungle-paradise feel of the property. We especially loved the friendly tortoise that liked to come over to visit!! You’re in great hands with your hosts and O Veleiro!”

“Lovely helpful owners. This was like a little paradise in the middle of Rio with clean accommodation and sheets and towels that were changed regularly. In a part of Rio you would never see by staying in the touristy parts. We had to catch an early flight and we’re provided with a take away breakfast which we thought was a very kind gesture”

“A lovely tropical oasis in a central area of Rio. Rob was a great host and travel guide, and very helpful when we needed it. The breakfast was superb!”

“We spend a very good week in Rio in Rob's beautiful bed and breakfast Rob is kind and was always available for our ( too many ) questions He helped us with many things and explained to us how to visit the city with personalized good tips The bed and breakfast is located in a very calm steet and secure neighbourhood so we felt very very safe and could park our car with no worry in the guarded steet. And the breakfast was very generous with many option including local tapioca crêpes”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the B&B. The owners are very kind, knowledgeable and helped us with any need we had. The breakfast ist rich and good and the coffee is excellent! 100% recommend!”

“We really liked the quite neighborhood so close to the biggest highlights of the city. It was really a nice place to ‘come home to’ and relax in the hammocks. Next to that Rob and Richard are such a great hosts. As being a guide Rob told us a lot about the city and even took us on a tour to beautiful beaches. Before booking we thought the place might be quite an uphill walk, but with the convenient short cut and the Uber services it was easy to get there.”
