Hidden gem in Santa Teresa.
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.

An oasis in the bustling city
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

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.

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.

This was by far, the best accommodation we have had in Rio. The room was absolutely incredible. It was beyond clean, the service amazing, and the owners were so helpful and friendly. The views are spectacular and the breakfast was out of this world. When they heard I was vegan, they’ve even baked a vegan cake for me. I can only recommend this to anyone traveling to Rio.

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.

Pleasant stay, but attitude could be better.
We had a pleasant stay at Casa Geranio. The property is quite beautiful and newly renovated. However, the price is probably a bit too steep for the prestations.
The breakfast, although of good quantity, is served at the table, so you do not get to choose what you want.
We also did not enjoy being constantly told how amazing the place is (by the owners) and having to sign a declaration that we would pay for the towels in case we stained them with sunscreen (!). All in all we did not feel like so much as valued guests for which the owners would have gone out of their way for.

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.

Wunderbarer Naturgarten mit Swimmingpool
Persönlich sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Aber man musste etwa 80 Stufen erklimmen, bis man das Hotel erreichte. Keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe, auch keine Restaurants oder Bars. Das Hotel hat keine warmen Getränke noch Abendessen, weder offeriert noch als Kaufmöglichkeit. Auch keine Snacks verfügbar, keine Drinks - das fehlte wirklich. Das Frühstück war sehr gut.

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.
