Decoration exciting , wood build house fantastic design , benefit from thorough deep clean , including pool areas outside too . Appreciate difficulty keeping clean as in jungle area (had mouse in room! ) but great to see monkeys on our balcony. For the price would also expect more breakfast variety (same for 3 days )but was a pleasure to greeted by friendly Mattao the host with great coffee each morning . ##### Dawn Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Matteo is a fantastic host and the property is simply amazing!! Both the design and location. But I think the best quality was how relaxing and homely the place felt, it really did feel like a luxury private home rather than a guesthouse. The views over Pedra da Gavea and Sao Conrado were breathtaking, and again Matteo was a fantastic and conscientious host. I can wholeheartedly recommend Tuakaza, and I personally would like to stay there again. Muito obrigado Matteo.

Hospitality and amenities are 10/10\. Breakfast is served, and there are many opportunities for relaxing. The scenery is beautiful, and the pool adds to the beauty. I would highly suggest Tuakaza to any traveler who wants to get away from the noise of the city, but still wants easy access to it. Matteo is very friendly and helpful at providing recommendations! ##### Mandy Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sergio May 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel resort in Rio de Janeiro that left a lasting impression on me and my wife. The building itself was designed by an architect who managed to imbue it with a sense of wonder that truly enhanced my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning view that greeted me, and this feeling continued throughout my stay. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the incredible breakfast, which featured fresh fruit and was served with a view of the valley. The combination of delicious food and beautiful scenery was truly unbeatable. But what really made this hotel stand out was the service. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and their approach made me feel like I was staying at a friend's place rather than a hotel. ##### Sergio Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excelente o local e excelente o atendimento ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walton Mar 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incrível Tudo incrível... lugar paradisíaco...

Magical and whimsical retreat in the city of Rio. Come here if you want peace, beauty and an opportunity to absorb the energy from the magnificent landscape that is so unique to Rio. Moments from amazing hiking up to Pedra Bonita, the entrance to Tujica National Park, as well as a short easy drive to fabulous beaches and restaurants. In sum, TuAKaza is an oasis powered by incredible human kindness and generosity. ##### Nica Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay, Washington, DC Jan 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A remarkable experience. A highly welcome way to experience Rio’s majestic nature. The views of pedra de Gávea, pedra bonita, the ocean, and the paragliders are extraordinary, as the property, its dozens of wood terraces, and pools are tastefully tucked into the hillside. Matteo is attentive to each guest and ensures your experience is relaxing and enjoyable, and the subtle ambiance and ample snacks and drinks make this a perfect getaway. Highly recommend it! ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Aldergrove](https://www.expedia.ca/Aldergrove-Hotels.d57365.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Vila Gale Eco Resort de Angra - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Dos-Reis-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Eco-Resort-De-Angra-All-Inclusive.h2170687.Hotel-Information) > > [Arena Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Arena-Copacabana-Hotel.h3094577.Hotel-Information) > > [BlueBay Grand Esmeralda All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-BlueBay-Grand-Esmeralda-All-Inclusive.h1411000.Hotel-Information) > > [Orla Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Orla-Copacabana-Hotel.h889673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kananaskis](https://www.expedia.ca/Kananaskis-Hotels.d177767.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Rio Othon Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Othon-Palace.h24526.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Rio de Janeiro Leme](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Novotel-Rio-De-Janeiro-Leme.h53295.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Santa-Teresa-Hotel-RJ-MGallery.h2226944.Hotel-Information) > > [ Ritz Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Ritz-Copacabana-Boutique-Hotel.h15491185.Hotel-Information) > > [Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Copacabana-Palace.h7130.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Fasano-Rio-De-Janeiro.h1542064.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Leme Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Leme-Hotel.h877312.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Rio-De-Janeiro.h564457.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels.d602873.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Fairmont-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h174198.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Holguín](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Holguin-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d553248633850344177-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Copacabana-Rio-De-Janeiro.h4100177.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Rio-Hotel-Resort.h10581.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Lapu-Lapu (CEB) to El Nido (ENI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ceb/eni/cebu-to-el-nido) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YXJ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxj/yvr/fort-saint-john-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Nadi (NAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nan/toronto-to-nadi) > > [Flights from Athens (ATH) to Milos (MLO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ath/mlo/athens-to-milos) ### Cars ### Packages
