Searched several accommodation possibilities before settling on Casas Brancas Boutique Hotel. The property is the perfect beach hotel. Located on the seafront with stunning views of the blue sea, a pool & deck area overlooking the bay, a bar & restaurant to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner. The décor is brazilian beach cool, simple with lots of white, natural colours and some very nice art. Brazil is famous for its yummy breakfast, lots of tropical fruits, juices, etc, and in my view one of the few countries that it is still acceptable to serve buffet breakfast (hate the way too seventies sweaty cheese & curling-at -the -edges- ham, and out of the fridge too long fruit!) Casas Brancas serves a very good example of tropical breakfast and you can also order eggs & complimentary champagne if that way inclined.
The rooms are simple (we chose a sea view with balcony) and very comfortable, the air con nice and quiet (simple but so many hotels fall short on this!), a good powerful shower. The front desk staff are very charming and helpful, they booked our beach buggy we hired to zip around all the different beaches Buzios has to offer and suggested some well chosen restaurants (don’t miss the exceptional Nelsinos private gourmet dinning). Don’t get dizzy with so many options, you will not regret choosing Casas Brancas.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Casas Brancas hotel in buzios brazil

A stunning boutique hotel, with the most beautiful viewsof the bay
The service was very good, the hotel staff are very helpful , but do not get in the way at all
The rooms are nice, however spend the extra money and get a room with a view - definitely worth it

The hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes walk to the centre of town , we were there out of season and I can imagine in season it will get noisy so make sure if going in season to book a room that is located at the far end of the hotel
The food is very good, but be prepared it takes time to prepare
Thier cocktails are excellent especially at sunset with the view over the bay
Overall an excellent choice of hotel, and a stunning holiday destination

I loved this pousada. I don't think you should expect it to be a western style spa or hotel it simply isn't. it is laid back and Brazilianwith it's own vibe. It is wonderfully situated for town at night and has a fantastic view. You have to go to the beaches though the nearest can be a short trip by boat. What is very special are the lovely friendly relaxed staff, nice breakfast/lunch restaurant and a great bar with great coktails at night. The spa treatments were very expensive for Brasil and though my massage was very nice it wasn't great value! I would definitely stay there on my return. I have stayed in the relais la bourie on geriba beach which was also nice but not groovy or fun like casas brancas.

We were extremely pleased with our stay at Casas Brancas. We would stay there again and we recommend it highly to others.

Location: Excellent seaside location in Buzios. 5-minute walk to the Centro shopping/bar/restaurant area. Several beaches are withing walking distance and others are a 10-minute cab ride away. Stunning views of Buzios Harbor and the lush hillsides beyond are available from the bar, restaurant, and some rooms.

Service: Very friendly, helpful staff with high English fluency. They were very responsive to our needs and helpful in recommending beaches, restaurants, etc. We asked for a lamp and extension cord so that we could read on our veranda and they immediately found one for us.

Room: In excellent condition with new fixtures. Decor seemed appropriate, very tropical/colonia. Bathrrom features were modern and worked well. Interestingly, the room did not have a TV, though the staff will bring one on request. It also did not have an alarm clock. This didn't bother us, but it could be a problem for some people.

Extras: Delicious daily breakfast buffet with pastries, tropical fruits, eggs, and many other choices. Worth waking up for. We didn't use the spa but it's a good addition to the hotel. They have two computers in the lobby wired for guest Internet access.

Price/Value: Tough to say for sure. We paid a premium price but we received commensurate value. They quoted us rates in US dollars.
