Guest Reviews

• JORGE FILHO (10/5): - Experiência completa! Atendimento diferenciado!
• Simon (10/5): -
• Etienne (9/5): Expérience inoubliable ! - La vue, la décoration des lieux, la nourriture et la gentillesse du personnel. Extraordinaire !! Le bruit des travaux autour de la Vila, et parfois des avions qui passent. Certains mobiliers devraient être changés ou rénovés! Sinon tout est parfait !
• Yocelin (10/5): Maravilhoso Hotel - Todo me encantó, el personal , las vistas, la habitacion, la piscina . Todo
• Johann (9/5): -
• silvina (9/5): -
• mathilde (5/5): Ennuyant - J’ai beaucoup aimé le style de l’hôtel Il n’y a rien à faire, il est mal entretenu
• Günther (10/5): .....ein Traum ! - Wenn man ein Gefühl von privater Atmosphäre sucht ,wenn man einen fantastischen Blick sucht ,wenn man umgeben sein will von unglaublichen nettem und zuvorkommendem Personal und obendrein noch erstklassig essen will mit traumhaften Blick.... dann ist man hier perfekt aufgehoben!!! Ein ganz großes Kompliment an Jasmine ,die alles in Perfektion organisiert hat ,inclusive Helikopterflug ab Hotel und eine wirklich liebenswerte Frau ist ! Nochmal ,das gesamte Personal ist unglaublich zuvorkommend und freundlich!!!💪 Nichts!

• Claudine (9/5): Maravilhosa - Beleza da vista e bom gosto no hotel
• Carol (10/5): One of the most beautiful and relaxing locations we have ever spent in a city. - The breakfast was excellent and the hotel location was amazing although did take some finding! The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The views from the hotel were superb and the surrounding grounds were beautiful. There was nothing that we didn’t like and anything we would change.

• Joaquin (10/5): - Precioso lugar todo Todo muy bien
• Vasily (6/5): - Красивый вид, интерьер. Если вы хотите отдохнуть от будничной суеты и зависнуть на вилле без возможности прогуляться на 1-2 дня, то можно рассмотреть этот вариант, но если у вы подвижны и активны и хотите гулять вдоль пляжей не привязывайте себя поводком к этой вилле. Дойти пешком нереально. В 8 утра над виллой пролетают самолёты и спать уже не получиться. Завтрак по меню, хотя при бронировании было написано шведский стол. Если вы захотите авокадо или красную рыбу вам придется доплатить...это конечно не соответствует никаким нормам. Горничные не внимательные, могут зайти когда вы ещё не покинули номер и ходите в нижнем белье. В номере нет штопора, бассейн грязноват и повторюсь, гулять абсолютно не где.
• Eitan (10/5): -
• Guaraci Lelis (10/5): Boa, exceto comentário acima - Excelente Tudo ótimo mas achei errado cobrarem 54,00 reais por alguma coisa extra no café da manhã. Para o nível do hotel, não cabe esse tipo de cobrança.
• Rodrigo (9/5): -
• Azat (10/5): -
• Goncalo (10/5): - Temos a sorte de já ter passeado muito pelo mundo e este é um hotel que definitivamente nos vai ficar para sempre na memória. Uma vista soberba do Rio, um espaço muito elegante e decorado com bom gosto, sem excessiva opulência, funcionários que nos fazem sentir muito bem recebidos e especiais. Sempre que regressarmos ao Rio, já sabemos onde ficar!
• TÁRSIS (10/5): -
• Millie (10/5): A hidden peaceful retreat, overlooking Rio. - Stunning beautiful Vila! Very peaceful and comfortable! The staff were lovely, and very accommodating of all our needs. I would stay here again if I visited Rio. Nothing - the pool could do with a little upgrade.
• christophe (8/5): - L'emplacement, la vue, la chambre Rapport qualité prix du diner pas a la hauteur
• Goncalo (10/5): -
• Adriano (10/5): -
• Marcos (8/5): Localização maravilhosa, mas serviço deixa a desejar. - Localização, instalações Serviço não esta a altura do lugar
• Nathália (10/5): Oasis carioca - imperdível! - Tudo. Absolutamente maravilhoso. Gostei de tudo, mas, se for pra criticar algo, seria o preço no minibar do quarto - paguei R$ 17,25 por uma coca-cola de 350ml.
• Carlos (10/5): Excelente estadia no Rio de Janeiro. Imperdível. - Tudo. Localização, espaço envolvente, flora, conforto da cama. Top. Nada a referir.
• Alexandre (10/5): -
• yasmeen (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): The Concierge / guest relations service is excellent as is the food! - Spectacular setting and views of Sugar Loaf and Corcovado Cristo Everything was great
• Oscar (10/5): Charming and a great place - Charming, nice atmosphere, friendly service, we will definitely go back.
• LAURENT (9/5): À voir absolument, je laisse la surprise de la vue exceptionnelle - Somptueux Chaîne tv française
• Henning (10/5): Excellent in every respect - a super exotic and special treat - super personal attention and a fantastic WhatsApp information / communication service that really worked for us. Everything can be communicated. The hotel even looked after us and made sure we got back to the hotel safely at night during the recent Police raid in Rio de Janeiro when the city became really unsafe. nothing
• Alexandre (10/5): Extraordinária localização, belíssima vista e serviço impecável. Extraordinário! - Confortável, limpíssimo, muito bonita. Não tenho reclamações.

• J.D. (10/5): - Amazing views, service, and property.
• Gabriel (9/5): - Conforto, café da manhã excelente, cortesia da equipe, vista deslumbrante Não foi muito relevante, mas estava muito frio e o ar condicionado tinha uma função de ar quente que não funcionou. Mas nada que atrapalhasse o sono ou a estadia.
• David (10/5): -
• Simon (10/5): Fantastic short break at this wonderful, secluded, small hotel with a truly amazing view of Rio. - This hotel is more like a large house with only 7 rooms set on the top of a hill in Santa Teresa overlooking the city of Rio and the Sugarloaf mountain. The views are truly spectacular from the room and the outside area by the pool. Both the rooms and the public areas of the hotel and the grounds were immaculately clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a lot of interesting history associated with the estate and the furniture and decor reflect that. We felt that we were treated by the staff as valued house guests, not just visitors. Dinner was excellent and good value for money. The breakfast included hot and cold options with several items that were locally produced. Portion sizes were great and all the food tasted wonderful. Service was excellent with the chance to eat outside with an amazing view or inside. The local area is interesting and we walked into Santa Teresa town. The historic tram can stop right outside the entrance to the grounds. The grounds and the hotel are only accessible through a gate which has 24/7 security with armed guards. We certainly had no concerns for safety during our stay. A very minor point. The hotel is set in a private estate which has guards at the entrance. When we arrived there was a few minutes delay. However once the hotel notified the guards of our name then it was easy. The hotel is correctly marked for Uber and so drivers could find it easily. For google maps the security entrance is marked as the hotel which is incorrect. Some people may be upset at the flights into Rio SUD airport which in the morning from about 8am can fly over the hotel. It didn't worry us, we like seeing the aeroplanes curve in to land and there's nothing the hotel can do about the flight path.

• Ralph (10/5): Der beste Ort für Romantik und Ruhe! - Traumhaft schöner Ausblick vom Zimmer und Balkon mit wundervollem Sonnenaufgang über der Bucht, großzügige gepflegte Gartenanlage
• Stanislava (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sylvio (10/5): - Simples maravilhoso!
• Christine (10/5): This was the best hotel experience we have ever had—the property and views are incredible, and the staff makes the stay - The property is spectacular—everywhere you look, you can observe the beauty of Rio while being surrounded by a truly beautiful hotel and gardens.
• David (10/5): World class views, accomodation and service. - We received great service in a beutiful boutique hotel with a magnificant view of one of the worlds 7 natural wonders. Villa Santa Teresa is a special place.
• Claudia (10/5): - Perfeito, impecável, maravilhoso, amamos tudo!
• Callum (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing views atop Santa Teresa - Stayed for a night to get a different experience of Rio. The villa is immaculate and rooms comfortable. Views of the city below are amazing. The staff are prompt and helpful. Booked a spa treatment which was followed by use of the glass steam room also overlooking the city below. This villa is a converted house which is owned by a family with roots in Santa Teresa. The family was on site the day we stayed and were super friendly when they approached us.
• Ingrid (10/5): It’s like heaven! - Everything was great . Beautiful hotel in the center from Rio , amazing view, nice interior, very good bed , good food and wine and very nice staff .
• Joseph (10/5): - Tranquility personified - my wife and I said the same thing about this place - it felt like the perfect setting for a romantic movie. my wife really liked the remote location, it is super private and secure... that part was a little annoying, it might be too secure. I had a hard time getting Ubers but like I said my wife loved that. 5 star staff members - absolute class. we got back 2 weeks ago and we are already planning to go back in 6 months.
• Igor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michele (3/5): Poor - Lugar bonito porem piscina suja e gerente nunca disposta a ajudar com o que precisa
• Rob (10/5): Amazing place with breathtaking views of Rio - Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Stunning views, the rooms were amazingly comfortable and the food / bar served exquisite food. Pretty much a perfect hotel! Only a few minor things but worth mentioning given the cost for 1 night - there were works going on by the pool when we were there (drilling and hammering) both days which we had to ask to stop, the sauna was broken and not in use and the pool needed a clean as there were many bugs in it.
• Mariusz (10/5): Beautiful View 🌅 - The view, the staff, and the atmosphere of the place. The staff is doing a great job. Thank you all “You are where it all happens“😊 Its quite hard to find the place, even for a taxi drivers But hotel staff is always there to assist you
• nuntaporn (4/5): - ห้องน้ำเหม็นมาก bad bathtub but bean staff is very nice another is not nice enough not worthy to stay The price is high and not worth the stay. The service is not worth the price. Some reception staffs provided poor service .
• Kamy (10/5): Insanely good with dreamy views - We had the Suite called Eva. Everything was perfect we had the entire Vila for us. The views are insanely beautiful! The food was good but my husband and I love comfort food:) Might add some comfort food to the menu and a shower hand head would be nice.
• Mica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): - loved the vila experience!
• Maria (7/5): Great views a little fat away from the main Beaches and attractions - The views are very beautiful the house is very pretty and well decorated The service was randomly slow and not to attentive to be such a beautiful boutique space.
• John (10/5): - This property is unreal. Brings the old world with the new one. Grounds are unbelievable and the views even more so. The staff is so friendly, accommodating and genuine. The front desk, waiters , ground staff are all superbly trained. Our first time in Brasil and will definitely e back within the year. Thanks to all of the staff and the family that owns this paradise for sharing this with us .
• Paulo (10/5): Sublime - The view of Rio de Janeiro is breathtaking. The accommodation is simply very comfortable. The food is sublime, and the staff is very polite and sophisticated. The restaurant should be granted a Michelin star. The florest surrounding the estate is fantastic. nothing to report
• Louise (10/5): - the view of Rio from our room was the best there is
• Mauricio (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Wonderful - Location and staff Nothing
• Dominic (10/5): - This property is the definition of luxury and boutique, with outstanding service. Whilst away from the hustle and bustle that Rio has to offer (and a bit challenging to get back to at night times), anyone looking for a memorable stay should earmark this place. A true gem!
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - The Villa is beautiful in a gated area high above Rio and with a view of the bay, Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer which is second to none. The villa is stylish with lovely rooms and very good food. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is nothing I did not like but would just like to point out the swimming pool has no steps. Therefore entry and exit even from the shallow end was very difficult for my husband who is 70 and has had a knee replacement. The villa was so lovely I would not hesitate to book again but in 33 c this was an issue that I think could easily be rectified for others.
• Christopher (10/5): We didn’t want to leave! - Vila Santa Teresa is like a little slice of heaven! The service was super attentive (the WhatsApp service was great), the complex was clean, well furnished - and the bath (built into the floor) in our suite will live long in the memory. We also used the spa facilities (massage) and had the romantic meal for two (staging was lovely). The latter was five courses and the quality was top drawer.
• Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dianh (7/5): We had an amazing stay, thank you to Vincincius making our stay unforgettable with your kind Service. Paloma should be - Breathtaking view,
• Tanvir (10/5): The most romantic getaway spot, we had the best time, the staff were amazing - The property was stunning
• Alexis (10/5): Fantastic views of Rio - Gave us complimentary welcome drinks. Jasmine was really friendly & helpful - made the check in process really smooth. The room was lovely, clean & spacious. Overlooking an amazing view from the balcony. Breakfast was nice & Vinicius was attentive and friendly. We also tried their dinner menu & pool snacks. The food was outstanding. Difficulty to get an Uber but staff were able to hail yellow taxis easily. Slightly on pricey side but you really get exclusivity with this villa.
• philippe (10/5): L'exception a un nom : Vila Sta Teresa - Amazing & wonderful resort , located in an exceptionnel wooded park. Bohaus emerging furnishings and decoration are top of mind. Customer service at the same level . It was a perfect stay !

• Morten (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hannah (10/5): Perfect stay, exceptional in every way! - Out of this world location, rooms, food and service
• Michelle (10/5): - Gorgeous, relaxing, amazing service!
• Kevin (9/5): Incredible views, and service. Atypical experience. - Beautiful estate, clean, incredible views. The place is really magical. Probably the next hotel view in all of rio. Location is a little tricky.. best to go in and out during the day, and stay on the grounds at night.
• Pierre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): - The views from our suite were unforgettable!! It was a paradise in all aspects of the word. And the staff would do anything for you to make your stay perfect. Yasmin was just the perfect person for the job, and she made our stay a dream come true! We had the time of our lives and Yasmin was a big part of that. Vila Santa Theresa is an even better hotel thanks to her. Our trip was truly memorable!
• Claudia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel L (10/5): My paradise - This was not a hotel, this was a home This was luxury living at its best. I felt like I was living in a celebrity world of exclusivity and comfort. There are only 7 guest suites so was very private. The staff was excellent, the rooms extremely comfortable, the food delicious, and the views unexplainable. It was very difficult to leave this paradise. I have only a few comments. The pool was nice, but would be nice if it was skimmed with a net each morning to catch the few bugs and leaves. (by the way there were not many bugs here or really anywhere in Rio). Also it is a bit difficuly for cab and uber drivers to find. One we knew how to get there it was not a problem and they called taxis for us for pick up. IT wqas worth it though as this was the most spectacular place I have ever stayed.
• Vivian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catia (10/5): Lovely place, amazing views - Beautiful and comfortable place. An oasis in the middle of the busy city All good, the access is a bit tricky but doable.
• Stephanie (8/5): - Booked a suite for my 40th. I arrive around 10am, check-in is at 3pm so the staff said have breakfast and hangout until the room is ready. Im eating breakfast and a female guest starts yelling and throwing her hands up. Said that I shouldn't be here. The staff removed my plate, asked if I could leave, picked up my bag and escorted me out. He requested I not come back until 3pm. Not a pleasant welcome. . .other than that, room was clean, food was delicious, staff was nice. I wanted to book a helicopter but they said I had to have other people with me. Im a solo traveler.
• Harriett (10/5): Celebrity lifestyle with amazing views - Fantastic location with the most amazing views and a beautiful property so tranquil with amazing birds, trees and even some cute local wildlife. Food was excellent, hotel beautifully decorated and great staff
