We spent the weekend at Case de Renata before heading to Buzios and Renata took really good care of us - showing us maps and places to eat/view and lending us her umbrella when the thunderstorms came!

Casa da Renata was a pleasant surprise in Rio de Janeiro. Staying in the are of Santa Teresa was a great choice to know the bohemian and traditional part of Rio. Casa da Renata is cosy, beautiful and comfortable. Let alone the kindness of the owner and the bugios (little monkeys) in the backyard. We loved it! Manuela Holtz

The rooms are spacious and clean, with friendly and helpful people to great and look after you. There is a shared bathroom, which is clean, but may not suit all. Just a short walk (5mins) and you have... More
