The most magical sanctuary in Rio. Set amongst the beautiful hills of Santa Teresa, this hidden gem is the perfect place to have respite from the (wonderful) madness of Rio. Perhaps the most special thing about this property is the hosts. Cláudio & Gabriel are a true delight, going out of their way to make your stay perfect. Be sure to follow Cláudio’s unrivalled tips - you won’t regret it!

We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel RJ Santos hotel. Without exception all of the staff made us feel very welcome. We don’t speak Portuguese but everyone made a great effort to either speak English to us or to understand what we wanted. We had breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel every day and both were exceptional. The food was delicious and great value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean. If we go to Rio de Janeiro again we will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.

Thiago. A great front desk person that went out of his way to help and always with a big cheeky smile. The location was fab too as the beach is just across the road. A Japanese/Peruvian (Kinjo) and an all you can eat (sounds awful but it's really good) churrascaria called Churrascaria Palace are both just around the corner and well worth going.
