Boutique Hotels & Resorts in Costa Verde from AU$329

"The hotel is up the hill away from the madness of the beach and downtown areas, but still a 15 minute walk to the heart of Gavea and a 15 minute cab ride (download Uber or app called "99" before you go!) to Ipanema and Leblon. Everyone at the hotel is friendly and helpful. The breakfast each morning is superb, especially when the monkeys come and join you. The pool is small but the hot tub is great (you have to ask them to heat it up 40 minutes in advance, though, and they shut it down...

"We booked the room with the tub and loved it! The room was clean and very comfortable. The owner was super helpful and spoke great english. I would definitely recommend this place."

"Spend half your time in Ipanema, the other half here. impeccable grou es, facilities, service. Lovely setting meticulously maintained. Friendly. One of the best restaurants in the city looking over the harbor and Centro. Some.great.neigjborhiid.places too such as Bar Maneiro. Great walk via colorful Lido steps to downtown and historical. attractions."

"We booked the Amora Hotel just a few days before our stay. The room was spacious and clean for our family of four we only wish we had an ocean view but unfortunately all those rooms were booked due to our late booking. The pool is heated. The staff was great. Breakfast was included and was one of the best we've had in Brazil. The ocean water in front of the hotel is more for surfing than for swimming. We did not leave the hotel for the two nights we were there. Thank you Amora for a great mini...

"Lovely old building, with lots of character. Admittedly the condition is slightly dated, but is part of the charm! Marianne was very helpful, explaining the local area and arranging a taxi for us. Bedroom very spacious and the pool area overlooking the city is brilliant! Santa Teresa is a cool neighbourhood too. Would recommend. "

"Our stay was absolutely amazing. Only down fall was a lot of stairs/ramps. But once you are up in the property it is beautiful. The hosts are very gracious and someone is always there to assist you."

"A week ago we were reading online reviews, trying to figure out where to stay in massive Rio. It was a 3 night trip before traveling on, and we wanted an escape, proximity to the main sights, a beach, and uncover a gem. Jackpot in Casa Mosquito. The owner Benjamin greeted us on arrival, some good juice and a welcome chill out after an 11.5 hour flight from London. The lounge was such a great vibe after the travel. Great sleep, great morning view on the balcony (bested by the rooftop pool and...

"Great hostel and service, excellent location, party area so the street side is very noisy at night."
