Incredible place to stay in Santa Teresa. Amazing staff, the rooms were beautifully made with fresh Flowers. Love every minute about my stay and already booked again. Santa Teresa is a wonderful neighbourhood, with art and music everywhere.

The hotel is in an elegant historic town house situated in the most beautiful area of Rio and with far reaching views of the city. The interiors of the hotel are extremely stylish and considered, combining mid-century design and antiques, giving the hotel a wonderfully unique and comfortable feel. I was made very welcome by the hotel team. Daniel was so kind, thoughtful and attentive throughout my stay. The sumptuous breakfast served on the balcony with views down to the sea were unforgettable. The pretty pool was perfect to cool off in after a day exploring the city.

I had the most magical stay at Mama Ruisa. I was traveling on my own and immediately felt at home. Jean-Michel, Daniel and all the staff were so warm and friendly, gave excellent tips and went above and beyond to look after me. The room was gorgeous and the bed was so so comfortable. Missing it already. Ill definitely be back!

Very Good
Amazing location, beautiful rooms and views, nice pool. The staff are also really nice and gladly provide great tips on places to go and restaurants.
Drinking water in the room is charged. Hotels typically provide a complimentary bottle. Breakfast is also quite expensive approximately 20 per person for baguette, some jam and butter, coffee, cereal, yogurt, plain eggs, and fresh juice. While it is delicious and organic, I dont find it to be value for money. I also see that there have been similar online comments from other guests. Location in Santa Teresa is really nice, that said, take note that you are about 30-40 minutes drive away from Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.

The property is exquisitely refurbished, with a lovely garden and veranda and even a swimming pool. I loved the place! So, so beautiful. On top of that the location is super cozy and nice and the staff were all so kind and helpful. They booked my transfer to and from the airport and even booked me a massage on a very short notice and went beyond and above to make me feel at ease. I really felt at home and as if I was visiting friends (rather than staying in an hotel). I was traveling solo so that made all the difference! They even have the friendliest pets (a dog and a cat) that came to visit me while in my room. The owner is super friendly and very flexible in terms of check in and check out time. I couldnt have picked a better place! Highly recommended!
Nothing was not likable. Simply perfect!

This was a stunning property with caring, friendly and attentive staff. Everything from coffee delivered, recommendations, checking us in early.. This was during the weekend Taylor Swift was in town and during an incredible heat wave. I was able to book due to a cancellation and the staff helped us add another night. This place is top notch. Special shout out to the staff who helped us, Daniel, Valeria and Bruno.

An absolute gem in Santa Teresa with views over Guanabara Bay to Niteroi (unlike Aprazivel and Tereze which have northern views). Most discreet mansion house on a hill furnished with the best of Brazilian modern (1950s-1960s) furniture. Delightful pool area, just accept the occasional road noise to remind you are in a town (but where don't you in Rio?). But very quiet at night. It's a must for those with good taste/de bon gout.

The property has this magical vibe of teleporting the guests into a romanticised version of Rio, surrounded with beautiful brazilian design pieces and the stunning view from the balcony. The staff is very attentive and discreet in the same time. The pool and the covered outdoor area are also adding up for a perfect stay. There are many restaurants and bars in the area easily reachable by foot.
In general expected a bit more from the neighbourhood, but the stay was perfect in every aspect.

Beautiful property with incredibly well thought out and amazing interior design.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were super helpful in giving us tips and advice on what to do in Rio. Great location in Santa Teresa too.
Thank you for your information!
