My partner and I stayed in Casa Beleza in March 2012 as part of a round-the-world trip and it was definitely one of the BEST places we have had the luxury of calling "home" for a few days. It was my second time in Rio and second time I've stayed in Santa Teresa. This place is absolutely exquisite. It is... More

My husband and I just spent four fabulous days in Rio and staying at the Casa Beliza was a highlight of our stay. The home is exquisitely beautiful (just like the pictures), the grounds and view over the city stunning, and each room nicely decorated and private. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and going for our... More

As we stepped into Casa Beleza we gasped. It IS beautiful. We felt like we were in the middle of a tropical rainforest from our garden bungalow room. It rained a bit but it was such a breathtaking sight from where we were, it added not detracted from our trip. Bindu is amazing and so kind,caring and helpful. Wonderful breakfasts... More

The house is beautiful, we had such a nice room looking over the pool&garden, amazing breakfasts and superb hosting by... More

Stunning house, stylish and comfortable rooms, with generous and welcoming hosts, in a great location. I spent a week here, and can thoroughly recommend it. To top it all, the great Bar de Gomez is just round the corner. Not to be missed!

My last moment at Casa Beleza for Rio Carnaval was swaying and dancing with Bindu, her family, and the other guests as a Super Mario bloco street parade passed by the villa, with drums beating and singing and hundreds in costume. With the airport taxi hovering around the corner, it was a goodbye party at its best! Staying at Casa... More

My Fiance and I spent 6 days, 5 nights at Casa Beleza and have missed it every night since! Casa is located in Santa Teresa, a charming area outside of the downtown core. We felt very safe for the entire time we were in Santa Teresa and I would recommend anyone coming to Rio to stay there, oppose to Copacabana.... More

The good news is that I had just arrived in one of the world's most beautiful cities. The bad news is that I came bearing a horrific flu bug. What could have been a disaster was much mitigated by the fact that I stayed in an oasis of beauty and comfort, perched high above the city -- a stone-and-stucco refuge... More
