Отель Villa Laurinda, Рио де Уна, Бразилия

All the hosts were incredible and very helpful, they give you their whatsapp numbers in case you have a question. Everybody was welcoming, nice and interesting to talk to. They do their best to give you insights about the city and the neighborhood.

Beautiful house in Santa Teresa, located in a quiet neighbourhood. The villa is confortable, within walking distance from many restaurants and bars. The pool is very nice. We felt very welcome. Cristina & Walter helped us organise our activities in Rio and around. We felt safe in the neighbourhood and had no trouble moving around the city with Uber from & to the villa.

Staying at Villa Laurinda was the kickstart to probably the most amazing trip of my life in my 22 years on this earth. I originally booked here, because it had good ratings in a safe area. So, for us (3 American women in a big city that they only knew so much alike) to arrive to, not only a house but a home, was bliss. Walter gave us a sense of understanding of the bigger picture of Brasil, while taking the time to introduce us to his surroundings. And Daniel was the most wonderful host, conversationalist, & guide to the beautiful city that he cares so much about. He brings such a warm sense of home to the Villa. We’re so glad we stayed here, especially as our first stop. The Villa Laurinda has such a magical, peaceful feeling that we’re so grateful to have experienced!

Beautiful house, good breakfast and great staff. Daniel was very nice and helpful.

Fascinating building in a really interesting part of Rio. Bit of a hike from the centre and up a serious hill but taxi/ metro make it all doable. Having a pool was a real bonus in the height of summer. The staff were super friendly and really helpful with advice and sorting restaurants/ taxis etc.
