Hotel Santa Teresa Highlights
This ancient and historical hotel is set in the hilly area just outside of the beachfront areas of Rio, in a remote village called Santa Teresa. Hotel Santa Teresa is an idyllic urban retreat located on a coffee farm dating back to 1850. This refined and sophisticated hotel has maintained part of its original architecture from centuries ago. Constructed from wood and stone, the layout is a fascinating maze of small caverns and carefully built arches.

Not only is Hotel Santa Teresa perfectly positioned on a hill with spectacular surrounds, but the actual grounds of the hotel also offer their own lush surrounds. Palm trees and heavy greenery gives the hotel a tropical paradise feel, and provides the perfect retreat in Rio.
