Our group from the UK enjoyed a 6 day stay at Santa Teresa villa.
Santa Teresa is located on a plateau half way up a mountain above which is Rio’s main national rain forest park overlooking Santa Teresa and the big Flamenco Park just below Santa Teresa.
We loved location especially the panoramic views of the harbour and the ocean beyond and the great local traditional architecture.
Within 2-3 minutes of the villa are many restaurants bars and cafes to walk to at night.
We found the area pleasant and safe.
The house itself is in a traditional colonial style and fits the site perfectly.
The house was a pleasure to live in - it’s well furnished and equipped and all the beds supplied with good quality bed linen and towels.
The downstairs area in particular has great room flow with the dining, sitting, and pool rooms all linked and accessible to the two outside terraces overlooking the harbour and the BarBQue area.
The gardens and pool were also well appreciated spaces after a busy day on Rio excursions.
I am happy to recommend this property as I considered it excellent value for money. I would note, that there are steep stairs towards the villa, so it may not be ideal of elderly people.
