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.
