Um apartamento com excelente localização directamente à frente das praias de Copacabana e com porteiro 24 horas. Sentimos-nos muito seguros e precisamos apenas 5 minutos até à praia.

O processo para fazer o Check-in e Check-out foram bastante fáceis e a comunicação com o hóspede funcionou perfeitamente. Recomendamos!

Lindo Apartamento no Arpoador recém reformado

MartinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed our stay at the flat. Very easy check in. The flat was lovely and very clean. Thoughtful welcome gifts. The gym was a bonus. But the best thing is the view - we had the benefit of 4 fabulously sunny days but the view is absolutely spectacular. A great place to stay in Rio and a great hosting team who really made us feel welcome.

Studio Bauhaus. (50 meters from the beach)

BridgetteRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had an amazing stay at Vergilio’s place! The home was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described in the listing. Check-in was smooth, and Vergilio even met us at the front and took our bags upstairs. He provided clear instructions and was super responsive to any questions. The neighborhood was close to everything we needed—great restaurants, public transport, and beaches. Thanks again Vergilio for helping with the birthday surprise! One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had—highly recommend to anyone visiting Rio! Would definitely book again.

Studio privado em amplo jardim com piscina

YasmeenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Ion was so kind and flexible. We had issues with our arrival, and he was so accommodating and responsive, he even stayed up til one am to greet us at the front door. This neighborhood is super close to Escadaria de Selarón and full of cafes and restaurants to visit. It’s also a short uber ride to many of the tourist hotspots, we felt completely safe getting to and from Ion’s home. This is a tropical paradise that really makes you feel brasileiro and at home. You can even see Christ the redeemer from the patio! His eclectic and bohemian style makes for beautiful photos and he is a very gracious and amazing host!! It was the perfect balance of privacy but also knowing we could reach out to him for anything we needed. Muito Obrigada Ion and Shela from your two little birdies 🦜🩷🦜🩷🇧🇷

Cabana de Vidro na Floresta

Ana BeatrizRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Apesar do acesso dentro do condomínio ser um pouco difícil por ter uma ladeira muito íngrime, a cabana em si é impecável. Clima super agradável e romântico, no meio da natureza, decoração bonita. Todas as comodidades anunciadas estavam funcionando (alexa, piscina aquecida, cama com massagem...) Eles foram super flexíveis com o check-in quando solicitei chegar mais cedo para fazer meu ensaio de gestante antes da estadia e sempre obtive retorno super rápido tanto pelo app quanto pelo celular. Dica: leve repelente!

Contemporary House in the Forest

ShirleyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved the many trees and other vegetation surrounding our guest house. We had the chance to observe many bird species (although they moved quickly) as well as marmosets. It was almost like being in a treehouse in a jungle. We also appreciated being able to order groceries for our arrival. The personal attention we received was appreciated. For nature lovers this is an ideal AirBnB.

Ipanema's Finest 3BR | Ocean Views | Workspaces

MarkRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This apartment truly exceeded our expectations. Airy, bright, and impeccably furnished. The view of Ipanema beach is breathtaking. We felt completely safe at all hours, and the location couldn’t be better: steps from the beach, close to everything we needed. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, and the internet was fast and reliable for work. Mario was an outstanding host — responsive, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about hospitality.

Um lugar para você colecionar momentos mágicos. As fotos já dão tudo que vc verá, mas presenciar esse lugar é sem comparação. Não tenho o que falar, o espaço é pensado em cada centímetro e o anfitrião parece prever todas as suas necessidades com tudo que tem dentro do apartamento. É simplesmente ir e aproveitar. No Rio eu só volto se for pra me hospedar aqui.

Your guide to Rio de Janeiro

All About Rio de Janeiro

With its combination of shimmering white-sand beaches, breathtaking views, and cosmopolitan lifestyle, Rio de Janeiro is one of South America’s great metropolises. From landmark sites like the hilltop statue Christ the Redeemer to the lesser-known Escadaria Selarón, the Brazilian city lives up to its nickname, Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City). Every February, Rio throws the world’s biggest street party, Carnival, a lively four-day celebration of beating drums, glittering costumes, and swaying hips.

Spend a day among the tanned bodies and gentle waves at Copacabana Beach, or explore the subtropical paradise of Parque Lage. Outdoor activity comes in all forms here, whether it’s hiking in the Tijuca rainforest, cycling alongside lakes and beaches, sailing across Baía de Guanabara, surfing, rock climbing, or hang gliding. And when you’re ready to get out of the sun, Rio’s cultural attractions have plenty to offer, including world-class museums, a diverse mix of architectural styles, craft markets, high-end fashion boutiques, and enough samba and choro music to keep you dancing until the sun comes up.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Rio de Janeiro

Summer, from December through March, is a popular time to visit, when the city is at its most festive. Carnival brings revelers into the city in February — the hottest month of the year. Spring (September through November) is also a good option, when the weather is still warm and there’s little rain. July is Rio’s coolest month, with an average high of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Other major events in the city include the Festas Juninas, the traditional festivities adapted from European Midsummer that happen at the beginning of the Brazilian winter in June, celebrating the most famous Catholic saints. Festival de Rio brings the year’s best international films to the city in November, and Réveillon is a lively way to ring in the new year with fireworks and dancing.


Top things to do in Rio de Janeiro

Corcovado mountain

Take the cable car up to Corcovado mountain to The Christ the Redeemer statue — one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Once you arrive at the foot of the statue, gaze down at the city and take in the neighborhoods that make up the Zona Sul and out to Guanabara Bay. Try to go early and choose a day with clear weather.

Escadaria Selarón

These colorful 215 steps reside in Rio’s Lapa neighborhood. In 1990, an artist started decorating the staircase outside his home using scavenged tiles. In the years since, it has grown to over 2,000 tiles. While in Lapa, you can also explore hip coffee shops, thrift stores, and lively nightclubs.

Grumari Beach

Head where the locals go on the western shore of Rio. Although it’s about an hour’s drive, Grumari is what some call the city’s most secret beach. The unspoiled nature reserve includes nearly two miles of white and red sand. You’ll want to bring your own food and drink, since there aren’t any restaurants or shops here.
