Theresa has a lovely little poolhouse in cozy Santa Theresa. We really enjoyed our stay with own kitchen (drinkable water aswell), hot pool and the calm veranda where we could do yoga;) To eat and drink is only about 5 minutes walk. Really genuine bars and cozy athmosfere. To just relax and strolling around in the neighburhoods is wonderful. We combined our stay with a night at busy Ipanema that is very diffrent.
We really recommend Theresa place if you like genuine and relaxing stay not far from rios mainattractions and beaches. Another important thing is that it was really safe, we were a bit scared before our trip;)
