The staff was exceptional including Alessandro who helped me with everything from restaurant reservations to transportation, my cleaning service by Adrienne was excellent and all the supporting staff including Leonardo. I would definitely return. Highly secure property and really love the view! ##### Glory Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### nuntaporn Mar 6, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ห้องน้ำเหม็นมาก bad bathtub but bean staff is very nice another is not nice enough not worthy to stay The price is high and not worth the stay. The service is not worth the price. Some reception staffs provided poor service . ##### nuntaporn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie Dec 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Booked a suite for my 40th. I arrive around 10am, check-in is at 3pm so the staff said have breakfast and hangout until the room is ready. Im eating breakfast and a female guest starts yelling and throwing her hands up. Said that I shouldn't be here. The staff removed my plate, asked if I could leave, picked up my bag and escorted me out. He requested I not come back until 3pm. Not a pleasant welcome. . .other than that, room was clean, food was delicious, staff was nice. I wanted to book a helicopter but they said I had to have other people with me. Im a solo traveler. ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel L Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### My paradise This was not a hotel, this was a home This was luxury living at its best. I felt like I was living in a celebrity world of exclusivity and comfort. There are only 7 guest suites so was very private. The staff was excellent, the rooms extremely comfortable, the food delicious, and the views unexplainable. It was very difficult to leave this paradise. I have only a few comments. The pool was nice, but would be nice if it was skimmed with a net each morning to catch the few bugs and leaves. (by the way there were not many bugs here or really anywhere in Rio). Also it is a bit difficuly for cab and uber drivers to find. One we knew how to get there it was not a problem and they called taxis for us for pick up. IT wqas worth it though as this was the most spectacular place I have ever stayed. ##### Rachel L Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marilene Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Maravilhosa, tudo de excelência.

Ambiente intimista e por ter poucas suítes faz o lugar se mais incrível, exclusivo e nunca lotado.

Foi realmente uma experiencia maravilhosa e completa!!!! A casa é lindíssima com ambientes de muito bom gosto nos mínimos detalhes. A vista da piscina é fantástica. Quartos amplos, claros, com lençois e travesseiros perfeitos. Restaurante com opções diferentes para almoço, lanche e jantar. Tudo delicioso!!! Porém, o que me chamou a atenção foi o serviço impecável de todos os funcionários. Uma menção especial a Letícia que nos atendeu no jantar! Somos moradores do Rio de Janeiro e voltaremos com certeza!!! Parabéns!!!!!! ##### Flavio Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vale como experiência Adoramos conhecer, mas não pretendemos voltar. Preço da acomodação é muito caro por aquilo que oferece. Os armários tinham cheiro de mofo e a piscina estava suja. Os atendentes são q chave do hotel - Serviço excelente! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren Mar 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such an incredible stay at Villa Santa Teresa. We arrived to this absolute dream like villa on a private gated mountain top road surrounded by gardens. The estate and views took our breath away. You will feel almost like you’re staying in a private mansion of a good friend. Room was immaculate and the turndown service was perfect. The staff provided buttons so you always could reach someone for a cocktail or assistance. I can’t rave enough about it. We spent one of our days exploring the town but loved the hotel so much we decided to stay out and enjoy for our last day by the pool and having a beautiful dinner overlooking the mountain and ocean. It’s a truly magical experience and one that my husband and I will remember forever. We would come back in a heartbeat! Don’t hesitate, just book :) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Fairmont-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h174198.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [Hotels in Salem](https://www.expedia.ca/Salem-Hotels.d6600.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Orla Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Orla-Copacabana-Hotel.h889673.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-New-York-City-Times-Square.h9988473.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Rio de Janeiro Leme](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Novotel-Rio-De-Janeiro-Leme.h53295.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in St. Vincent and the Grenadines](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-St-Vincent-And-The-Grenadines-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d169-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [ Ritz Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Ritz-Copacabana-Boutique-Hotel.h15491185.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n6058432-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rio Othon Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Othon-Palace.h24526.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 Creston](https://www.expedia.ca/Creston-Hotels.d10563.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [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) > > [Rocky Crest Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Parry-Sound-Hotels-Rocky-Crest-Golf-Resort.h52902.Hotel-Information) > > [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 Delhi (DEL) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yeg/delhi-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Tbilisi (TBS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tbs/toronto-to-tbilisi) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) ### Activities ### General
