Richard and Rob were fantastic hosts- very friendly and accommodating. They gave us a lot of insight into Rio and helped us get to the New Year’s Eve party on Copacabana Beach. The house is beautiful and very serene.

We had a fantastic stay with Rob and Richard! The B&B is also their home, and is beautifully decorated with items from their travels. Our room was the most comfortable of all the rooms we stayed in over our trip, and the facilities were great too. We appreciated that Rob and Richard were forthcoming with tips about restaurants and bars and sites to visit as well as safety tips, and we enjoyed the favela tour we booked through them. It was also incredibly helpful that Rob was reachable over whatsapp and very responsive - we were able to coordinate our arrival at the B&B much easier this way and ask questions throughout our stay. Overall 10/10 experience, thank you Rob and Richard!

The hosts!! So kind and always willing to help... we almost felt like they're old friends of ours. The breakfast was delicious, and the house is beautiful. Everything was already very clean, and yet they cleaned the bedroom every day of our stay. Seriously, it was a great experience!

Richard is a great host, always happy to help and give advices. Great breakfast : more food than you can eat (3 kinds of bread, fruit juice, tea, coffee and milk, yogurts, eggs, ham and cheese, fruits...). Not far from subway (15/20 min). Easy to get a Uber or Taxi. International airport: 30 to 45 minutes (traffic). We saw small monkeys, birds and butterflies. Safe place. Safer in room, hot water and great WiFi. Nice little swimming pool and great outside chill out area.

Nice place with a pool and very calm- if you search for a relaxing stay in the middle of rio that’s the place. Full with trees and flowers and a nice living room to chill.

Irini, Germany

The hosts were lovely, very accommodating and totally knowledgeable about the area and places to visit.

Charming atmosphere. Beautiful garden and cozy colonial style lounge. Tasty breakfast. Spacious and very clean room. Our children were so happy to play in the garden with local residents: cat, dog and turtle. Special thanks to owners Rob and Richard - pleasant people. From the moment of reservation until the checkout they had answered many questions, provided a lot of useful information about Rio which only locals can know. Hotel located on the top and immersed in greenery but close to city center like Botafogo bay. As we were with two kids, we prefer to use Uber (very affordable) to get there. We would like to spend more days at O Veleiro Bed and Breakfast next time )).

Svetlana, Kazakhstan

These guys were fantastic! They helped us plan our week and translate with taxi staff, and organising a roof top bar experience etc. They couldn’t have been more helpful.

This place is an oasis in the centre of Rio. We loved the neighbourhood, the house itself with its several guests (Cat, tortoise)... it’s a hidden gem in central rio!
