Beautiful and spotless facilities; outstanding breakfast; interior design was beautiful and sophisticated. Gabriel and Claudio were fantastic hosts and really made us feel at home and welcomed. The rest of the staff were also professional and caring.

Everything was perfect!

This must be one of the most gorgeous swimming pools in all of Rio - so relaxing! The breakfast was also amazing and all the staff and owners were so kind, thoughtful and attentive. I’ll be back for carnival!!

Absolutely everything about this wonderful place is so well thought out and perfectly executed. Claudio and Gabriel’s attention to detail and commitment to providing an excellent experience to their guests is faultless. Our room was stylish and beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly want and more, the plunge pool was a fantastic feature along with the two outdoor seating areas providing additional space for relaxing after a busy Rio day. The breakfast, as other reviewers have said, is utterly sublime not just with different dishes but also stunning crockery that changes daily along with the menu - all 5 courses of it! I could go on… and on… but needless to say, our stay was perfect and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Also, don’t be put off by the rather outdated safety worries on the internet regarding Santa Teresa, it is a wonderful district and a great alternative to the tourist favourites of the beaches. As with anywhere in Rio, care must be taken but we happily walked around both day and night with no problems.

Absolutely nothing

We had the most incredible stay at Casa Geranio. The property and rooms are beautiful, and lots of attention is paid to maintain this standard. The pool area is gorgeous, such a tranquil paradise in the bustle of Rio. We loved seeing the Marmosets in the morning! The breakfast was really tasty, and it changed everyday which was a nice surprise. The service at breakfast was very good. Claudio gave us great advice on what to do, and where to go, including restaurant and bar recommendations. We are also given helpful advice on how to stay safe in the city. The rooms are lovely, with everything you could need. They also feel very private. The property in general feels very safe and secure. The attention to detail that Claudio and his team put into making your stay at Casa Geranio extra special is incredible and I would love to visit again!

The local area is a bit dodgy, make sure you follow the directions given by Claudio as these are the main busy streets, don’t blindly follow google maps.

Breakfast was exceptional and very beautifully presented. The swimming area had amazing view to city!

Our room was dark and had very limited view. We left in afternoon but we were not allowed to use swimming pool area after 11.00 am what was really strange

Everything. We spent our last night in Rio in Casa Geranio. It’s definitely worth and it is a completely different experience compared to our hotels in Rio. Comfortable rooms, amazing fresh breakfast, excellent staff, welcoming atmosphere. The building is amazing.

The breakfast was superb, something different and fresh each day. Presented exceptionally and served by wonderful staff. The casa is kept immaculate, the pool is unreal and just an amazing place to stay. Incredible views, brilliant hosts. If you’re debating staying, don’t debate, do it! Thanks guys!

Nothing at all

beautiful restored mansion (the old architectural details are gorgeous) with stunning contemporary pool and outdoor lanai-type seating area. everything is impeccably maintained. Claudio and Gabriel are excellent hosts. the breakfast is outstanding. we stayed four nights in Gingebre Suite which we loved: spacious; great shower. glad we opted for this boutique hotel in Santa Teresa - it’s not “staying at the beach” but gives you a wonderful Rio experience. easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit from the hotel.
