Located in a safe and quiet street on the top of the beautiful St. Theresa with an absolutely amazing terrace, it is the perfect place to relax. In total I visited the Castelinho 4 times not only because of its perfect location but also the people are really nice. Interesting guests from all parts of the world and the young... more

In August of 2007 my daughter and I had the pleasure of an extended stay at the Castelinho38. Having been a consultant and tour escort for a Latin American travel wholesale outfit, I've had extensive experience with lodging throughout South America. Few places offered the charm and friendliness as this one. It was a cultural experience, (like that of staying... more

The castelinho38 is great. We stayed here for 6 nights in September and the team really made us feel at home.

Rooms are basic with everything you need, view is fab, honesty bar that... more

I mostly loved the main hall where they have big modern paintings and where you can chill out. Also the view from the terrace is really... more

I spent a few weeks in Rio in january. Castelinho38 is a very nice place on top of a hill in Santa Teresa. All the people that work there are kind and friendly. I would definitely return perhaps in the future! more
