Gavea Tropical Boutique Hotel

Brilliantly run, very friendly, delicious breakfasts. Great views - but that does mean you do mostly need taxis to get around.

besonders Flair durch seine bauliche Offenheit , Nähe zur Natur: Äffchen schauen beim Frühstück vorbei, Vogelzwitschern, luft- und sonnendurchflutet gute Betten, Sauberkeit, gutes Frühstück auffallend freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal toller Ausblick, ruhige Lage

Our family stayed here for two weeks. We were pleased with the friendly staff and comfortable room. The setting is beautiful - tucked away in the trees and separate from the beaches, whilst still close. Monkeys came to eat bananas from our hands in the mornings.

O Hotel é bem completo! Poucos aptos. O Quarto que fechamos tivemos problemas mas na mesma hora trocaram para um com melhor vista. O apto possui um cooktop aonde pode-se fazer pequenas refeições. Jantar com a linda vista para o Cristo Redentor é magnífico! Não utilizamos os outros serviços pois ficamos apenas 1 dia e estava muito frio. Mas recomendo!

Local muito tranquilo, com muita vegetação e extremamente limpo e confortável, café da manhã até ao meio dia foi incrível!!!!

It is a lovely and friendly hotel, the staffs are really nice and the view is beautiful!! Staffs were so helpful and our stay went smoothly, we also stayed with our children and they enjoyed their stay. It is a bit far away from the beach but the room comfort and view is lovely. Good value for money as well I must say. Breakfast is typical Brazilian and it was very nice, fresh fruits are lovely!!

Great area of Rio very different from the tourist beach scene.

5 Star B&B!! We loved this place! Amazing omelettes for breakfast=Check, Feeding the baby monkeys=Check, Sweet view of the Christ Statue=Check, Hot Tub=Check!! This helped make our 1st trip to Rio that much more memorable! Now, trying to find the place can be quite an adventure! But its only 10 min. from Ipanema, AND away from the crowds. Book it before it sells out!!

This hotel was the highlight of our trip to South America. The suites were amazing. Dont get the villa though. Pros: Gorgeous views and we got to feed little monkeys every morning! My better half absolutely loved this. The rooms were well decorated and clean. Get a suite and pay the extra $10-20 per night. Its well worth it. Customer service was top notch. Being a boutique hotel we regularly interacted with the owner and manager, both of whom were very helpful and spoke English! Con: We originally booked the villa. The Villa is actually a smaller room rigjt above the street. No scenic view unless you like a dirt hill. The sewage from the street had a tendency to linger in the Villa if you left the doors closed. We moved to the suite (next size up) the first day. Perfect for couples even though it can fit more.

Stayed in room #7 which is advertised as a Villa. The room could be good if it didn't smell terribly, didn't have a mosquito pest and didn't need to escalate very steep steps to the lobby area, maybe 70 steps. The staff is very nice but impossible to compensate for not being able to sleep at night.
