Located 3 km from Rio de Janeiro's charming city centre, Villa Laurinda offers free daily breakfast, an outdoor pool and free WiFi access in Santa Tereza district. The Santos Dumont Domestic Airport is situated 4 km away.

The guest house is 23.8 km from Riocentro Convention Center, 5.7 km from Copacabana Beach and 7.5 km from Ipanema Beach. Galeão International Airport is 14 km away.

Staying at Villa Laurinda was the kickstart to probably the most amazing trip of my life in my 22 years on this earth. I originally booked here, because it had good ratings in a safe area. So, for us (3 American women in a big city that they only knew so much alike) to arrive to, not only a house but a home, was bliss. Walter gave us a sense of understanding of the bigger picture of Brasil, while taking the time to introduce us to his surroundings. And Daniel was the most wonderful host, conversationalist, & guide to the beautiful city that he cares so much about. He brings such a warm sense of home to the Villa. We’re so glad we stayed here, especially as our first stop. The Villa Laurinda has such a magical, peaceful feeling that we’re so grateful to have experienced!

Boasting an outdoor pool, free breakfast and free WiFi, Casa Geranio is a charming B&B located in a unique area of Rio, just 500 metres from Lapa's Arches and 1 km from Cinelandia metro station. It features gardens with fruit trees and birds, as well as exquisite views of the city.

Hidden gem in Rio. Amazing view. Monkeys once in a while visit and they’re very peaceful. The strength of this beautiful place is in its owners who are like uncles to you. They know everything about the city and it’s nice to learn from them and to hear about their story. While also maintaining your privacy. Breakfast is marvelous and dressed up with sense of style. This adds an extra dimension to your stay! We have never have experienced such personal care like that in a commercial stay.

    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..
