Only breakfast served. Would be nice to have the option of dinner too which you could have guests sign up for in the morning. An uncomplicated ‘Prato do dia’

Located in a wonderfully creative cultural area Santa Tereza. Fantastic views of the Bay Area and Sugar Loaf mountain.

As you enter the property you feel the charm and see breathtaking view of the city. All details reflect the fine taste of Adriana.

Not dramatic (thus why I didn't ask the host to provide it), but: - Missing a stool to put the Suitcase - Missing shades to prevent mosquitos to get in when the window/door is open - Hair dryer was very weak in my room - Wardrobe doors were hard to move

Great location Superb view from the dining room and the pool Superb breakfast every day Good air condition Responsive and very nice host

I don't know how they do it, but this guesthouse felt like I was visiting friends or family. I felt right at home. Adriana and her staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and point me to the best attractions in Santa Teresa but also in Rio de Janeiro. As if it couldn't get any better than all this, the views are exquisite and the breakfast is amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat.

It was perfect

It’s at the Santa Teresa neighbourhood which allows the house to have this breathtaking view.

Nothing.

A beautiful house with views of Sugar Loaf and a lovely garden. The pool was a welcome relief after hot days of sightseeing.

Nothing!!

Fantastic location in the hills overlooking Rio and Sugar Loaf mountain in the distance, walking distance to many different restaurants also had the best breakfast with fresh fruit and home baked cakes. Large room with Comfy bed. Chris who meet upon arrival provided many tips and tricks to enjoy our time in Rio. Could not find any fault with Gerthrudes and would defiantly stay here again.

Nothing

I am slightly biased as this is my 2nd stay over the years here but I can’t help it, it’s my favorite place to stay in Rio! Adriana & team are a delight and have created something special out there in Santa T! The location, the view of sugar loaf from the pool/ garden, the rooms, cleanliness and breakfast - you just can’t beat this combo! Thank you as always, can’t wait to come back

It's a gorgeous building and is very well kept. Excellent attention to detail by the staff and the breakfasts were sensational.

We had an issue with mosquitos in our room which was probably due to the door to our balcony being left open.

We loved our stay here. Rooms were comfortable and well decorated. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing! The communal areas were stylish and had lots of interesting decorations and features. The pool and view from it are spectacular.

Nothing really. Located at the end of a street in Santa Teresa so just make sure your uber drops you in front but overall felt safe

Very beautiful hotel decorated with a lot of taste. The view from the breakfast area is incredible. Rooms are large and clean, no noise, breakfast is good

We had an exceptional stay at Gerthrude's. Adriana was super helpful before we arrived as I had a small issue with my credit card, and on the day of our early arrival Stefen looked after us well with recommendations of local places to visit and restaurants which we followed. Local area of shops and bars is vibrant and fun and a nice contrast to the Rio beach scene. We were able to enjoy breakfast and leave our bags before checking in later in the day. The hotel is really very charming, calm and with a stunning overlook of the city. There were only the two of us but we booked the duplex which has room for three people, and I would recommend as the upper level is a nice seperate space to enjoy. The breakfast is great and in a bright, spacious dining room with period furniture. Can't recommend highly enough and it was a shame we only stayed a coule of nights. Thank you!

Nothing negative, everything was perfect.

Amazing bed and breakfast place. Rooms, facilities, breakfast, service are all 5-star. We did not expected this place being so exclusive. Location is also amazing, right in the middle of old Santa Teresa neighborhood with many bars and restaurants just minutes walk away. The place is secluded and away from bustling and hustling of the city center. You will need taxi or Uber to get to the beaches or Lapa, where nightlife is happening.

The property is very charming and very well taken care of. Clearly attention is being paid to every detail within the B&B. We were especially charmed by all the design choices made throughout the property, contributing greatly to a wonderful, warm atmosphere. Plus the pool and garden area are great to relax for a bit if you want to. The room was great also: spacious with a nice large bed, plenty of storage space and great water pressure in the shower. Adriana and Christopher were such pleasant hosts, making all interactions before and during our stay very lovely. We would love to come back if we visit Rio again.
