Me and my husband stayed at Casa de Gente for our honeymoon and we could not have been happier with our choice. It was our first time in Rio, in Brazil and out of Europe. We found Casa de Gente offers more than accommodation, as the suport, advice and recommendations given by the hosts (special thanks to Pauline) actually made... More

Very welcoming staff and owner, great breakfast and hostel type of atmosphere. located 10-15 min away from the subway. Close by Lapa as well! Great experience ! Owner helped us arrange different activities in Rio... what else!?

We arrived late at Casa de Gente but still received a warm welcome. Pauline was away but all the staff were welcoming and helpful. The location is very convenient for walking around Santa Teresa and going out in Lapa (down the Escadaria Selarón). The environmental ethos of the place really appealed to us. The breakfast was good and the shower... More

Clean and simple rooms, nice common area, super breakfast, stunning roof terrace with real grass with a view over Central Rio (admittedly not quite the beaches) and a wonderful host who will help you any way she can. You'll feel home right away. You will have to walk up the hill for 5 minutes to reach the Casa which can... More

I absolutely loved the place, the staff and Pauline's constant willingness to go out of her way to make my stay more comfortable. Not only did she find me a fantastic... More

On one hand, this place has an arty bohemian vibe to it, its bright decor, small-ish size B&B, located at the edge of Santa Teresa, nearer to old Lapa. The owner, a very friendly french lady, Pauline, is extremely helpful and she gives you all the spills and info about Rio. The breakfast is served in the courtyard which overlooks... More

One of the best and friendliest places I have had the pleasure of visiting. You are welcomed with open arms (and in our case with some caipirinhas). The rooms are clean, view is gorgeous, staff is very very nice and helpful, and the breakfast is absolutely amazing; fresh fruit, fresh juices, coffee/tea, bread, jam etc.The staff/owners will help you order...

Located near the Selaron stairs, the building has an original architecture with the living-room at the floor level (with a stunning view on Rio) and with all the bedroom downstairs having the windows on a central atrium giving the light. Pauline, the owner, is always available and willing to give you all the information you need on the city. This... More
