The house is funky with lots of nice design features. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful, lent us a hairdryer, booked taxis etc.

We stayed here for Christmas and New Year, a total of 19 nights, at a very very inflated price. Nevertheless we were looking forward to the experience as it was our first time in Rio and we wanted it to be special. From the website it looked great but in reality, there are parts of the building that are positively... More

It was perfect! The house is a dream! Zaba and Manu made us feel like home. Ignacio and his delicious cakes are still in my mind. I went with my 6 years old son and he enjoyed the company of the two funny cats chuchu and Bart. Sandra took so much attention of with him, that it looks like as... More

A wonderful and welcoming place to stay with lovely people who look after you. We stayed in the garden suite for 4 days - which is a gigantic room overlooking the swimming pool and garden - a wonderful place to laze away hours reading in a hammock or paddling in the pool. Breakfast was great - and Ignacio bakes wonderful... More

Zaba, Manu and the staff were so friendly and helpful. VERY knowledgeable about where to go, and more importantly, how to get around. Any concern was responded to immediately. The view is incredible and the house has such a warm, friendly feel. We were lucky enough to be at the B&B for an afternoon of music with some wonderful musicians,... More

Very friendly welcoming place to stay and Manu & Zaba, the owners, and Ignacio the manager/chef were all very helpful & lovely. Excellent breakfast with good range of cake, bread, juice, fruit etc. served in a lovely large airy living room with a great view. We stayed in two rooms, the most expensive, the Garden Studio, which was great, light,... More

Vila Casa Nova was a great place to stay. Manu is a very friendly host, the accommodation was clean and had a retro-decor, besides a good view of the valley. :-) I forgot my notebook charger in the B&B and they mailed me back the next day, after calling about 4 times to see if I could get back and...

Stayed at CasaNova for 5 nights during our stay in Rio, and it's a very nice place indeed. Rooms and bathroom are very clean (and cleaned everyday as well). We stayed in the North Room, with shared bathroom, which was perfectly fine. Only one more room that uses that bathroom/toilet. Breakfast was perfect! Freshly squeezed juice every morning, bread, cereal,... More

Vila Casa Nova was the perfect base during carnival. It had a very relaxed atmosphere which was just what we needed to escape from the madness of carnival from time to time. The owners are extremely helpful and their home is kept very clean. The breakfast was great and kept us going all day during carnival! Would recommend to anyone... More
