Casa Geranio, hotel in Rio de Janeiro

Boasting an outdoor pool, free breakfast and free WiFi, Casa Geranio is a charming B&B located in a unique area of Rio, just 1640 feet from Lapa's Arches and 0.6 mi from Cinelandia metro station.

If you plan on staying away from the crowds and noise on the beach, Santa Teresa is the neighborhood for you. Casa Geranio is the very best boutique hotel in Santa Teresa with fantastic views of downtown, walkable to taxis or tram. The very best hosts we have ever had who attended to our every need including calling/ordering taxis when needed. Many stairs but the staff carried our bags up/down. Only 5 rooms, 10 people, no children. A totally blissful calm and restful spot with a beautiful pool and gourmet restaurant serving breakfasts which were amazing. Everything was fresh, and the food was fit for a king/queen. Five star service outdoors among the palm trees with different beautiful china service everyday so "we didn't get bored". Claudio and Gabriel made sure we were comfortable and they were attentive to every guest. I read the review from Norway which was a very low score. We were there at the same time as these guests. Please ignore their rude comments and do not consider their comments as valid. On our final morning the hosts insisted that the staff arrive early to prepare coffee/cakes, fruits because we had an early taxi to the airport before the regular breakfast service. The hosts gave advice on sightseeing, navigating the city, and restaurant recommendations which were great. This resort hotel exceeded our expectations ---do not hesitate to book your stay here and feel pampered and welcomed.

    Great hostel in a a great spot, in Urca a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Andreas was a very welcoming and helpful host. The place itself has a pretty terrace and the breakfast was extraordinary, a vast choice of homemade products and individually prepared eggs. I would totally recommend it and I will come back when I am in Rio again.

    The flat is in a great location of trendy Leblon with spectacular views of Rio. The flat is quiet as it is quite high up on the 23rd floor of the building. Ideal for a couple or a single person. Hosts responded to our request.

    Great experience , wonderful host. It s like a mini self-contained appartment above the house. Practically next to the Metro but quiet. Very secure area. Rafael was very communicative and constantly kept in touch. I stayed at another place in Botafogu but this was much better, and cheaper!

    I only got to stay for one night, but this hostel would be even more perfect for people staying a little longer. It's in a great location: walking distance from stores, the metro and the nightlife of Lapa, but also in a quiet neighbourhood, where you can relax in a very nice environment and enjoy the panoramic view of the city from above. The house is just beautiful and the pool is the best hangout spot after a day of sightseeing.

    Centrally located near the nightlife of Lapa, but in a quiet part of the neighbourhood, the guesthouse offered an authentic Rio experience. The room was basic but cosy and comfortable, and the attentive and charming host, Alberto, enhanced the stay here with his friendliness..
