Isa and Paolo take pride in hosting guests at their warm and artistic house in Santa Teresa. They thoroughly enjoy meeting people and sharing their space. It is this that you experience when staying with them and their sweet dog. And it is this that makes an already pleasurable and comfortable place to stay a unique and charming experience. It's very Brazilian to share your home space; Isabele and Paolo do it exquisitely.

I shared a delicious breakfast and coffee together with them both each morning. And we exchanged social business ideas and life stories, speaking in English, Portuguese and sometimes other languages.

The house is artistic and truly a representation of Santa Teresa at its best. I arrived a stranger to Rio and the house. I left with new friends and perfect memories.

Enjoy!
