The two best things about staying here: the views/location and Marta. The guesthouse itself occupies the top two floors of a secure, 24hr doorman, elevator building right across the street from the beach (apparently the former residence of an ex-president of Brazil). Its location on the southern end of Copacabana means you get terrific sweeping views of the entire beach... more

I would thoroughly recommend this B&B. Located on floors 11 & 12 in a penthouse on Copacabana beach, Rio. Wonderful views over the beach, bay and onto Sugarloaf Mountain. The welcome from hosts Marta and John leave in no doubt as this is truly a 'Home from Home’ experience of a lifetime. The expert help and local knowledge they offer... more

All that the previous excellent reviews are true. Marta greeted us out of the elevator with a big welcome hug, took our bags from us and made us feel at home straight away. The view from the 10th floor was amazing - our first taster of Rio. Our ensuite room (not all are en suite) was lovely and we slept... more

I had a lovely stay at this very classy and comfortable, large duplex apartment above the beach, while I researched a book. While there were other guests there, everyone did their own thing and it never felt crowded or 'unprivate.' The neighborhood worked very well for me, with shops including small groceries and take-out places, and good restaurants within a... more

My husband and I stayed at this gem of a B&B for three nights in September. As soon as I stepped off the elevator into the penthouse, I was greeted with a huge hug from Marta. Instantly, her and her husband, John, made you feel like you were home. The guest house is gorgeous, a beautiful terrace overlooking Copacabana beach.... more

I'm so glad we found this gem on this site. I didn't want to stay at a big boring hotel. Marta and John are so nice and you feel like you're at home when you stay there...except there's a really amazing view of Copacabana Beach and the ocean. My boyfriend and I loved it here. Why stay here? Marta knows... more

Marta and John have created a wonderful beach front B&B that is truly world class. Food: Every day started out with outstanding fresh fruits, meats, cheeses, and fresh JUICES that were nothing less than exquisite. Location: Copacabana beach is 50ft from the front door of the building; Impanema is about a 10 minute walk, Leblon is a 10 minute cab... more

Marta's friendliness and helpfulness could only be matched by the beauty of her guest house and the view from her veranda. She welcomed the 3 of us warmly, answered our many questions with enthusiasm, gave great suggestions about restaurants and transportation plus towels for the beach. She generously allowed us to use the room and bathroom long past check-out while... more

Marta greeted us with hugs and kisses like her long, lost family. The penthouse was breathtaking with panoramic views of Copacabana beach and the mountains of Rio. On arrival she and her husband John shared a drink with us and give us all the do's and don't's in Rio. They recommended a guide, Raphael who took us to the key... more

We stayed here for a week on a short notice reservation and found it an ideal location. Unsurpassed views from the living area of Copacabana Beach and comfortable rooms. Some days we just spent the whole day on the large patio which has an attached kitchen with fridge which was great. Hosts were gracious and helped all guests as needed.... more
