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.

Beautiful hotel with amazing staff. Stunning views, the rooms were amazingly comfortable and the food / bar served exquisite food. Pretty much a perfect hotel!

nothing to report

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Location is a little tricky.. best to go in and out during the day, and stay on the grounds at night.

Beautiful estate, clean, incredible views. The place is really magical. Probably the next hotel view in all of rio.
