O Veleiro Bed and Breakfast

It is a beautiful retreat from the busy city, with amazing views, delicious breakfast and very relaxing. Rob and Ricardo were so helpful. We loved lying in the hammocks and seeing the tortoises in the garden!

Nothing really! It takes a while to get Ubers up the hill, but Ubers are so cheap in Rio and we were glad we didn’t stay in one of the busier neighbourhoods

Logé dans un petit paradis de verdure, ce petit havre est un bonheur de simplicité élégante. Les propriétaires sont adorables et aux petits soins pour faciliter le séjour des clients. Bon conseils et sourires au programme. Et évidemment, un café d’à manha excellent.

Everything. Lots of character, clean and comfy bedrooms, set back from the city in the forest. Great breakfast. But most of all the fantastic hosts who are thoughtful and kind, and available for as much advice as you want on having a great time in Rio. I can’t think of a better value place I’ve ever stayed

Nothing.

Friendly hosts that do their best to make you feel home and provide tips. Generally good breakfast with eggs, bread and fresh juice every day.

While being helpful the host also came across a bit too much when it comes to providing safety tips. I was told several times not to wear my over the shoulder bag (even through the microphone of the camera doorbell on the street while waiting for an uber which felt a bit creepy). Bugs/ants found their way to my room. At least the room was equipped with an anti-bug spray. Not every uber knows the location which makes it a drag sometimes to get transport because of canceled rides. Most of the time I made the walk down the hill to start the day. The room was very hot without AC. I slept better on the rainy days. With the shower being directly next to the bed the room was also quite humid. The ceiling fan was dusty, I had to remove dust from my bed several times.
