Our room was wonderful. Every morning we woke up to the sound of birds singing. The bungalow is separated from the other units so it's peaceful and quiet. The hammock was very comfortable in the early afternoon or early evening away from the intense mid-day heat. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, eggs, crepes, and freshly squeezed juice. The Santa Teresa neighborhood has character with it's hills, cobblestones, and abundance of beautiful street art. Only determined Uber drivers will pick you up there due to it's labyrinth of curvey and steep roads. I recommend Casa Beleza for those that want to escape from the craziness that can be Rio and want a place to relax, contemplate, or appreciate a slower pace of life.
