It took me some time to review, but even now, almost 4 months after we left Rio, we still remember Um Meia Tres as the best place we stayed at, in a month long trip to Argentina, Chille and Rio. Other than the view, of course, we loved the feeling that Bill and Sue gave the guests. As if we... More

We stayed at this very pleasant B&B for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't stay here if you want all the conveniences of a hotel as it is not for you. If you want to experience life in the heart & soul of Rio then do yourself a favour and stay here. It is in a very atmospheric area... More

This is wonderful place to stay away from the usual tourists spots. The other reviews' ratings are very accurate. Of course, the room was lovely, and the view spectacular. The breakfasts are very nice. Santa Theresa is a cool neighborhood--lively enough, well located, and a pleasant retreat from the bustling city. But it was Bill and Sue who made my... More

Arriving in Rio late at night from UK and with no Portuguese language skills, it was really helpful to have such well informed hosts as Bill and Sue. They helped us with our planning both before and after our stay in November 2012, and went well beyond the call of duty in helping us out of a hole when we... More

Can't really add to anything everyone has already said. Bill & Sue were wonderful hosts, very helpful. If we're back in Rio, we won't even look for anywhere else. As soon as we'd booked we received an e-mail offering any advice / assistance needed, & also instructions in English & Portuguese how to get to the hotel from the airport... More

I cannot say enough about this B&B. The locations is great, up on a high hill with panoramic views. Breakfast was great, fresh fruit and anything else you might want. The hosts very helpful for recommendations of where to go, where to eat, etc. Rio is a stunning city although a bit pricey but it has lots to offer!!!

We were guests of Um Meia Tres for one week in July 2012. Our hosts, Bill and Sue Moore were gracious, friendly, and accommodating. It was our first visit to Rio, and they provided us with an excellent introduction to this exciting and storied city. A few highlights of our stay: The neighbourhood -- Um Meia Tres is situated in...

We stayed at Um Meia Tres for nine days. We read about it here on Trip Advisor and in other places and felt like we knew the place before we even got there. Bill and Sue were excellent hosts, with lots of tips for places and things that were not to be missed. Their pousada felt like home after the... More

We stayed at the Um Meia Tres with our children and can only confirm all those positive reviews and give an excellent voting to this outstanding B&B and their owners.
