Rio de Janeiro – Gistihús

The host was friendly and welcoming. The pousada is safe and secure and we arrived late at night. It's close to the airport and we stayed here twice. The breakfast was also great. It was a great price as well.

We spent 3 nights in this nice house. Neat, clean and close to the beach in a very safe part of Rio. Excellent host Sergio hosted us as if we were his family. He helped us with his advice and was very responsive to all our questions. Thank you Sergio and see you again!

It's everything perfect, my gosh. The reception, the information, the location, the bedroom, the cleaning, and so on. I absolutely recommend it for everyone.

I didn't like a shared apartment with two suites. I have rented the second suite due to safety issues. Also, I can't use the piscine because I don't have medical certification. and I didn't have time to visit a medic.

Staying at Villa Laurinda was the kickstart to probably the most amazing trip of my life in my 22 years on this earth. I originally booked here, because it had good ratings in a safe area. So, for us (3 American women in a big city that they only knew so much alike) to arrive to, not only a house but a home, was bliss. Walter gave us a sense of understanding of the bigger picture of Brasil, while taking the time to introduce us to his surroundings. And Daniel was the most wonderful host, conversationalist, & guide to the beautiful city that he cares so much about. He brings such a warm sense of home to the Villa. We’re so glad we stayed here, especially as our first stop. The Villa Laurinda has such a magical, peaceful feeling that we’re so grateful to have experienced!

EVERYTHING. I LIKED EVERYTHING. The place is so clean, it is even more beautiful than the photos. The staff? Amazing. Shout out to Daniel. He took such good care of us. Make sure to have some meals at the hotel while you're there, especially the white fish with mashed potatoes.

Hidden gem in Rio. Amazing view. Monkeys once in a while visit and they’re very peaceful. The strength of this beautiful place is in its owners who are like uncles to you. They know everything about the city and it’s nice to learn from them and to hear about their story. While also maintaining your privacy. Breakfast is marvelous and dressed up with sense of style. This adds an extra dimension to your stay! We have never have experienced such personal care like that in a commercial stay.
