Casa Geranio

This was our second to last stop on our honeymoon tour and I’m so glad that we stayed. We had this suite with the private pool and it was beautiful. It’s tucked up and away on the hill in Santa Teresa felt very safe and secure you needed a fob to get in. Additionally, they had a security guard station at night. The room is super cozy with a beautiful bathroom in the shower. Amenities smelled fantastic and we had great water pressure and instant hot water. The bed was so soft and comfortable. The views are amazing but our favorite part was probably the fresh breakfast every morning. We got spoiled with fresh fruit, cold cuts, sweets, cheese, fresh juice, and much more. The owners made sure to introduce themselves and check and see if our stay was enjoyable. We’re surrounded by nature and it’s extremely quiet at night allowing you to get a good nights rest. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. The only downside is that I wish it was a little bit closer to the central part of Santa Teresa but it was a quick Uber right away. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place in the heart of Santa Teresa, Rio. The view from the hôtel on Rio historia center is breathtaking, specially at night. The owner ensures that visitors enjoy the best experience at the hotel and in the city. He is very knowledgeable about all the cities attractions. The personal is attentive and pays attention to every ins and outs in the hotel which provides a great sense of security. Breakfasts are a must have !

Casa Geranio was our last stop during our Brasil trip. |We had stayed in various pousadas and were now accustomed to the kindness and quality of brasilian hotels and pousadas. |I was excited to stay in this place everyone on all sites described as incredible and wonderful. Maybe it was all the five star reviews that biased me, but I was a little disappointed. |Let me explain myself, and also start by saying I had a great stay all in all. |The hotel is definitely very charming and very beautiful, with tropical plants, old fashioned stairways and different areas around the property, the cutest pool and very comfortable sitting chairs and beds around the pool. |In the morning, during breakfast (which is very good, as everyone states it), it is lively and great. But after noon or so, when the owners, kitchen staff etc have left, the place feels very empty (because it is), and a bit lonely. There is always one member of staff should you need something, but you see what I mean. Same when you come back from a day in the city, it is very very empty. Some people will be happy with this, so this is not necessary a negative point, but I did not love it. There is no food service besides breakfast, but the guy who is here at night can make delicious caipi!! Thank god ! I noticed that in all the places I stayed in Brasil, there is always tea/coffee/snacks handy for people during the day. I did not see it there. |Pool area is super cute and nice, but keep in mind that during winter, the pool is icy ! |The room was nice and comfortable. Good bed, might need better lighting inside, but no big deal. |Location: well, I know what the response from the hotel will be : "you should have done your homework". Well, you are right, I should have zoomed better on Google Maps. It is between Lapa and Santa Teresa's main crossroads, meaning you have to walk about 15 minutes to either one. Honestly, I did not feel like walking in that empty dark street at night. So we called an Uber, and since it is so close to all restaurants, at least 5 cancelled on us. I finally managed to get one, and a taxi back without problem. |But if you combine the fact that after the sunset, the hotel is empty and that you can't just walk out if you need something, the isolation feeling was even greater.|After check out, they can keep you bag and you can still hang out if you want. Beware, to use a locker and a shower, it is 50 reais...

We had a lovely stay at Casa Geranio. Room was very clean,it had room service everyday and the bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed waking up early to enjoy the views of the city and have breakfast with the best company that showed up to eat banana. The breakfast itself was really cared for, I loved the fresh fruits, the juice, their scrabbled eggs and even the plates and mugs that they used which matched the theme of the hotel. You could see the owners care for little details which make all the difference in the end. The staff working there didn’t speak English but was very polite. We hope to be back to casa Geranio when we visit Rio again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We loved our stay at Casa Geranio! The breakfast was excellent — fresh, delicious, and beautifully served with a view over the city that took our breath away. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. A truly special place to stay in Rio!

Charming bed and breakfast in a quiet street of Santa Teresa. We were warmly welcomed by Astrid. Feels like home with a pool and a view! Much recommended! Obrigada

WOW! What a special place! We had a wonderful stay at Casa Geranio. Cherry on top: the homemade breakfast, yummy Caipirinhas & THE view over Rio! We recommend this place for a nice & relaxed stay with a touch of uniqueness!

We loved Casa Genario. The setting is superb - on the Main Street up to Santa Teresa and an easy 10 min walk down to the bars of Lapa. And in the most exquisite setting - the climb up from the road (they’ll help with your bags) means that you have the most incredible view out from the hotel pool and breakfast area - literally you can see out over central Rio whilst floating in the pool. It is incredible.||And this isn’t even what we loved the most. Everything here is done with huge care and attention to detail. The owners and staff truly care whether you are having a good stay, and are lovely people. From thoughtful details like the beauty of breakfast (a work of art and different every day) to happily chatting about the wildlife you see from the pool or plans for the day, we simply could not have been better looked after. ||The nature in the middle of the city is incredible too. We saw swallows, parakeets, a hummingbird, monkeys, a possum, bats at dusk, all from beside the pool. Not to mention countless butterflies. Truly gorgeous.||Casa Genario is true oasis in the middle of my new favourite city in the world. I hope I am lucky enough to be able to return.
