At Vila Santa Teresa guests are treated like family friends. Upon crossing the property's gates, our guests enter a universe of beautiful tropical gardens, full of stories and with a privileged location, from where it is possible to appreciate some of the city's main tourist attractions from a unique angle. Built in the 70s as the residence of the Monteiro de Carvalho family, the house is located on a private property in the heart of Santa Teresa, one of the most charming neighborhoods in Rio. Vila Santa Teresa is a place to celebrate. With a privileged location, Vila Santa Teresa has a view only. From our suites and gardens, you can see Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, Christ the Redeemer and Maracanã. We offer experiences that create unforgettable memories. Enjoy a picnic in our Garden or a Seafood Grill, inspired by the sands of the Northeast. Feel free to relax in our Spa or enjoy a helicopter flight with a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro. Due to many balconies and unprotected stairs and because it is considered a romantic destination, the hotel is not accommodates children under 18 years old.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
