"The three-pearl Casa Beleza offers a tropical hideaway from the sometimes overwhelming and crowded beach scene of Copacabana and Ipanema."

Time Out
"Encapsulates all that is charming about Santa Teresa and its idiosyncratic architecture; turrets, hidden garden passageways, forestloads of original wood on the floors and staircases."

"Tropical gardens overlook the picturesque pool, and you can sometimes spot toucans and monkeys in the surrounding foliage. It's a small and peaceful operation."

"The only thing that keeps this Rio design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S. de Copacabana."

"Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
Rough Guide
"One of the few hotels in Rio that dares to be a bit different. Each floor has been conceived by a different Brazilian designer, with some much more successful than others."
