Pousada OASIS DO BARRAL, hotel in Rio de Janeiro

Located in Rio de Janeiro, 2.4 km from Barra da Tijuca Beach and 15 km from Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens, Pousada OASIS DO BARRAL offers free WiFi and air conditioning.

Ilha da Gigoia is the best Rio has to offer. The boat crossings are a special treat. The authentic warmth of a community without dangers, the Barra attractions without pretentiousness and high prices. Oasis do Barral fits perfectly in the island. Of course if you want a “sophisticated” international hotel where you need a car or taxi to go anywhere, this is not for you.

suite deluxe vista mar Copacabana - entrada independente, hotel in Rio de Janeiro

Suite deluxe vista mar Copacabana - entrada independente is a beachfront property situated in Rio de Janeiro, 300 metres from Leme Beach and 600 metres from Copacabana Beach.

I loved the view, the room, the toilet, the location... Probably the best option for a couple or a single traveller as you get all the luxury a hotel on the beach would offer you, without overpaying it.

Minas Em Marambaia, hotel in Rio de Janeiro

Located in Rio de Janeiro and only 1.7 km from Barra de Guaratiba Beach, Minas Em Marambaia provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

Cleanliness and comfort of this cosy chalet. Welcoming and attentive family and staff, and their willingness to cater for all needs. Exceptional catering. Gourmet breakfast alone is worth the visit. Exotic location within secure gated community, breathtaking views from Reuben and Anita's main residence. Traditional Irish pub within compound. I cannot recommend Minas Em Marambaia enough. Definitely a return visit is on the horizon!

    Great hostel in a a great spot, in Urca a very quiet and safe neighborhood. Andreas was a very welcoming and helpful host. The place itself has a pretty terrace and the breakfast was extraordinary, a vast choice of homemade products and individually prepared eggs. I would totally recommend it and I will come back when I am in Rio again.

    The flat is in a great location of trendy Leblon with spectacular views of Rio. The flat is quiet as it is quite high up on the 23rd floor of the building. Ideal for a couple or a single person. Hosts responded to our request.

    Great experience , wonderful host. It s like a mini self-contained appartment above the house. Practically next to the Metro but quiet. Very secure area. Rafael was very communicative and constantly kept in touch. I stayed at another place in Botafogu but this was much better, and cheaper!

    I only got to stay for one night, but this hostel would be even more perfect for people staying a little longer. It's in a great location: walking distance from stores, the metro and the nightlife of Lapa, but also in a quiet neighbourhood, where you can relax in a very nice environment and enjoy the panoramic view of the city from above. The house is just beautiful and the pool is the best hangout spot after a day of sightseeing.

    Centrally located near the nightlife of Lapa, but in a quiet part of the neighbourhood, the guesthouse offered an authentic Rio experience. The room was basic but cosy and comfortable, and the attentive and charming host, Alberto, enhanced the stay here with his friendliness..
