United States of AmericaFirst 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.

IsraelPerfect 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.

United States of AmericaOwners, 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.

United States of AmericaWe 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!

FranceThe location of the pousada in botafogo is perfect to visit the city. Rob and Richard eee super nice and gave us very helpful advice during our stay and helped us arrange the transfer to ilha grande. Also the breakfast is very good,I fully recommend !

FranceLovely 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

Imagine waking up to Toucans and Parrots singing in the trees. Small monkeys arrive for photos. Crickets and other jungle sounds close the day at dusk. Enjoy fresh bananas, papayas, passion fruit and mangos from our own gardens at breakfast. On hot summer days, gentle breezes cool our poolside garden terraces and bar. You feel as though you’re somewhere out in the countryside of Brazil. But in reality, you’re right here in Rio just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A charming B&B in a heritage style home, nestled in an oasis of green. Set on a hillside, just a short way up a quaint, cobble stoned colonial road, surrounded by remnants of Atlantic forest. For those who enjoy exercise and taking in the views, you’re walking distance from the 2 major tourist attractions or from Botafogo metro station. A short ride by metro will take you to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches or the churches, museums and galleries in Rio’s Historic City Center and if you prefer not to walk, Rio’s taxis or Uber services are inexpensive.
We enjoy receiving guests from all parts of the world, trading information and sharing insights with respect to culture, language, tourism and the day to day life experiences with respect to Brazil and the country of origin of our guests.
We love to travel ourselves and appreciate the opportunity to help those who stay with us try to get us much out of their time in Rio as possible.
Botafogo is just next to Copacabana. Our old colonial cobble stoned road, leads us to Laranjeiras and Cosme Velho, where not to be missed are the Corcovado Train ride to the Christ Statue and the Largo do Boticário. Laranjeiras offers many restaurants, handicrafts shops and every Saturday, a wonderful local market with live music. Once just “on the way to Copa”, Botafogo today is in constant renewal. Referred to as the SoHo “Carioca”, or BotaSoHo, it offers a wide selection and some of the best restaurants and gourmet venues in Rio. Also, excellent options for entertainment, including clubs, bars, book shops, delis, cinemas and theaters. Here you will find a lively after-work crowd in the many pubs and restaurants that line Botafogo metro station. One of the best hamburgers in Rio or a quiet setting to enjoy a cappuccino or light meal in a book shop. An energizing and gregarious crowd in the night clubs or perhaps an interesting cultural experience in the Museum of the Indian, a visit to Rui Barbosa’s home or, for something completely different a stroll through the São João Batista Cemetery – on par with the one so often visited by tourists in Buenos Aires, but without the crowds.
