We loved the place! The views are just magnificent. The house is huge and very comfortable. If we are ever in Rio again, we shall stay here again.

As a bigger group of friends that came here to celebrate our graduation, we had an absolute blast! Stunning view, great neighbourhood with lots of bars and a responsive host - we would definitely recommend this place. One of our highlights was to watch the sunrise while relaxing at the pool! MUITO OBRIGADA!

This is a beautiful historic house in a great neighborhood. The host was very responsive. The caretaker helped us bring luggage up/down the stairs. Bedding and towels showed signs of long use (some sheets/towels had holes). Many surfaces were dusty upon our arrival. Overall, it felt more like a hostel than a vacation rental.

We greatly valued the stay of these guests from the USA and obviously regret that this bed linen problem occurred. The house was cleaned the day before arrival and most of our bed linen is new or less than 3-6 months old - but a new cleaner failed to properly check the bed linen before fitting and some clean, but old towels and sheets no longer intended for guest use, were accidentally used. Unfortunately the guests did not at any point during their 3 day stay inform us that some of the towels were torn and some sheets frayed at the edges and that some surfaces needed re-dusting - particularly as the guests considered ‘ the host to be very responsive.’ If they had informed us we would of course have recleaned the wood furniture surfaces and replaced any unsuitable bed linen items immediately. We always maintain a large stock of guest bed linen and towels in reserve. We have since checked all of the villa bed linen and towels and purchased replacements of the two torn swimming pool towels and two sets of sheets from our store of 30 that were showing wear and tear at their edges. We greatly appreciate the guest’s opinion that “This is a beautiful historic house in a great neighborhood”.

Wonderful for families

Dear Alex, thanks so much for hosting us at the Vila in Santa Teresa. We all absolutely loved it. The kids had a total blast exploring the pool, the garden, and every other little nook and cranny in the house. And we also had completely underestimated how much we’d love the neighbourhood. Santa Teresa is every bit as charming as they say, and the Vila is a great place to explore it from. You’ve been a wonderful host, extremely transparent, super helpful, and we’re very thankful for the wonderful memories you’ve offered us.

A Fantastic Holiday!

A group of 9 of us from the UK and France went to Rio to celebrate a 6oth Birthday. We chose Alex’s house because of the central location, views and pool. We were not disappointed. The house is in a trendy area filled with bars and restaurants and is a Grand Old Lady perched near the top of the hill. It is a historic house filled with charm - a bit quirky and interesting and we liked it very much. Alex was a great host and dealed with questions about the area and the house very quickly and in a professional way. We also thought the house was very good value and would recommend it and Alex for a holiday in Rio.

Incredible view of Guanabara Bay. Huge and very comfortable house. Loved the location in Santa Teresa with so many bars and restaurants. Definitely a place if you like bohemian neighborhoods. The only negative is the steep stairs to get to the house. If you want some extra exercise, this is a great way to get some extra hard steps, but if you have knee or hip problems, this is probably not the place for you.
