We stayed at Casa Beleza for three nights during our stay in Rio. Santa Teresa is a great place to stay if you want to avoid the slightly tackier end of town. Bindu and Albert were perfect hosts, arranged transport to and from the area and made some excellent recommendations for restaurants etc. in the area. We stayed in the... More

Casa Beleza is charming in every sense of the word. A hidden treasure in the maze of cobbled streets of Santa Teresa, it is convenient and yet offers a feeling of seclusion that makes you feel as if it is your own private sanctuary. The hosts are kind beyond measure and your every travel need; taxis, tours, information, reservations...delicious cocktails;... More

In short, stay here! Lovely place to stay set in beautiful grounds with a pool. We stayed for 4 nights in the loft room which was perfect. Breakfast on the terrace was delicious and always served with a smile. Bindhu was the perfect hostess, always willing to chat and full of helpful tips. Her advice (especially booking a visit to...

A gracious house set on a hill overlooking Rio, breakfast complete with toucans and a tortoise couple in a tropical garden, a quick swim to cool down at the end of a day, wandering the cobblestoned streets of Santa Teresa - we could go on and on. But what stands out about our stay with Bindu and Antoine at Casa... More

My wife and I (33 & 32 from London) stayed for six nights during a trip to Brazil. The property is terrific, rooms very comfortable and the gardens are lovely. The hosts are very informative and helpful and speak Portuguese, French and English (and maybe more, who knows). The staff who do the breakfast service, maintain the garden and make... More

We stayed at Casa Beleza for a week during the carnival. Its the perfect place to stay. There are many local parties in the area of Santa Teresa. Its walking distance to the Sambadrome. The house is paradisiacal - a laguna of calm but still close to the action. This was the third time we have stayed in Casa Beleza.... More

We just returned from Brazil having spent a week in March at Casa Beleza. It was a very lovely place to stay in Rio and I can’t recommend it more highly. My husband and I stayed in the Orange room. It was a beautiful corner room with large windows on two sides overlooking the garden. The room doesn’t have a/c,... More

This B&B is amazing. The location is great. The people are very friendly. This can be the perfect stay for couples or families or even when you are traveling alone. Bindu knows everything, so when you are planning a trip you can ask her for advice. The room we had was very nice , beautiful and large. Also the breakfast... More

We had a wonderful time here. The guest house and gardens are beautiful, the location is fabulous - Santa Teresa is a very enchanting part of the city! But beyond this, Bindu is a wonderful host and can help with planning different activities to do in Rio. We were more interested in exercise and food related activities, and she picked... More
