Our stay was absolutely amazing. Only down fall was a lot of stairs/ramps. But once you are up in the property it is beautiful. The hosts are very gracious and someone is always there to assist you.

This property is very unique. It has only five rooms, each of which is quite distinct. One of the rooms even has its own swimming pool. The breakfasts are wonderful and different each day. The staff is very friendly and the setting is gorgeous.

A beautifully decorated and well designed property. The owners paid attention to every detail. Breakfast was a work of art and presented in visually artistic and beautiful tablescales overlooking the city of Rio. The landscaping was so lush with waterfalls, infinity pools, sculptures and little monkeys in the oasis of trees and native and tropical plants. I loved the owners and ambience. Made my intro to Rio de Janeiro a magical experience.

An oasis in the bustling city. Calm and comfortable, fantastic breakfast. Pool and gardens were a treat to relax in. The decoration in the room could do with a good touch up

This was one of the most exquisite properties I’ve ever stayed on and loved the entire experience. The owners and staff are all incredibly attentive and helpful, and the view from breakfast and the infinity pool alone are enough to make me come back. With only 4 rooms available on the whole property, it was an exclusive experience that often felt like a completely private booking. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to be back.

Amazing place. Our friends stayed at two other nearby accommodations. Our was hands down the best. Just like other reviews, the staff, gardens, pool and breakfast are incredible.

Oasis in Santa Tereza

Great location close to Centro and Santa Tereza neighbourhoods. They will help you with taxis around town but definitely spend a night or two in the neighbourhood for a different vibe. Really clean and peaceful. Amazing breakfast.

Casa Geranio is a unique and lovely property, nestled on a hillside in central Rio. The space is a lush oasis of greenery and traditional architecture that makes for a luxurious resting spot after a day of touring the busy city. Our room was ample, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast was exquisite and the service was warm, friendly, and very helpful. Thank you all for everything! I would definitely recommend this hotel for anybody looking to stay in downtown Rio and would surely consider it again if I get the chance to return. I think it's worth mentioning that the walk up hill and the hotel stairs may not be ideal for people with limited mobility.

Wonderful stay!

The room and property were amazing! The breakfast was incredible! They really catered to us to make our overall experience wonderful even when we stayed longer at the hotel waiting for our evening flight. The WiFi didn’t work great. Some Ubers didn’t want to drive us to the hotel or pick us up because of the unsafe neighborhood but once we were at the property, we really enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend!

The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking the city with amazing gardens - very peaceful and relaxing. The owners could not have been more welcoming from the moment I arrived, providing a delicious breakfast each morning and tips about where to visit / drink / eat. I could not recommend this place enough.

ultra pampered, sweet vibe!

Wonderful visit. Dynamite service, super relaxing. Casual, yet pampering. The breakfasts are fantastic. Could not have had a better stay. Super location for Lapa and Samba action. Claudio is truly a class act, energetic and informative, while polished and chill. Felt like great value for level of service and amenities, and location.

5 Stars!

Casa Geranio is an oasis tucked away in the hills of Santa Teresa! I loved the design aesthetics - a stone accent wall in the bathroom and marble shower in the bathroom, gorgeous seating area with a partition between the bed and nice linens. The owner is very friendly and gave me a great restaurant recommendation - he obviously loves what he does! The room was air conditioned, which is nice with the heat/humidity of Rio in the summer. Infinity pool has plenty of lounge chairs with great views of the downtown skyline. The breakfast in the morning is amazing! You will love your stay here!
