Charming boutique casa with nice views of Rio!
Lovely old building, with lots of character. Admittedly the condition is slightly dated, but is part of the charm! Marianne was very helpful, explaining the local area and arranging a taxi for us. Bedroom very spacious and the pool area overlooking the city is brilliant! Santa Teresa is a cool neighbourhood too. Would recommend.

Beautiful bohemian getaway
The staff are lovely and were very helpful in helping me organise my day. The hotel is remote so be prepared for taxi/bus expenses to get anywhere. My only negative is the loud music from the restaurant on the Friday night - the music reverberates through the walls so I was kept awake. And there is a buzzer on the lift that can be heard very loudly in the room I was staying in. Both these things contributed to a very bad nights sleep. However the breakfast is delicious and WiFi is good.

Can't call it exactly a hotel, but it's charming
Of course, you could call it bad luck, but when I arrived in 7:30pm from a 20-hour journey, there was no water in the hotel (until 6:10am the next morning) and 30 minutes later the hotel was left without internet too - until next evening. Unbelievably bad experience in that sense... Adding the unbelievably noisy air conditioner and the fact you could here all sounds from the connected room (you can guess what they were, even though I wonder how could one engage in s*x in a hot summer night when you don't even have water), you could call this a nightmare - but in the end I don't remember it like this 2-3 weeks later... And that's because this place is unique. Located in a late 18th century house, built on a very steep slope, you enter Casa Amarelo through a long corridor dug in the rock, from where you enter an early 20th century Swiss elevator, which takes you to the reception floor. From there you have access to the rooms, which are located on several levels accessible by outdoor stairs. The view to downtown Rio is great (no view to Christ the Redeemer statue, though) and the neighbourhood is old, quiet and charming - and also safe. I am not sure if I want to stay in this exact hotel again due to the level of comfort, but I definitely don't regret being there once, because it's an experience you can't have in a normal hotel. Would definitely recommend it for a short stay, but for more than 2 nights - no.

Unique and one of a kind experience in Rio
This hotel is magical. The architecture, subtle design choices, grounds and unique art choices blend in beutifully with the age and era of this grand house. All the guest rooms are individually designed with great care to ensure guest comfort. You get the feeling you are the only guests in this small boutique hotel. The staff is eager to assist you in a dignified and elegant manner. couple of small details could be improved. The quality of breads served for breakfast could be improved and housekeeping could be a little more thorough in ensuring dust is cleared from the rooms. Other than that this hotel experience is top notch, unique and I was thrilled with my stay!

Magical place
We loved our stay at the Casa Amarelo. Were transported to a truly special part of Rio, that we would have missed if we hadn't stayed there. The hotel is elegant and understated and had everything we needed and many things we hadn't expected. Go! (WE had been concerned that the location was too removed from the rest of the city but very easy to get to the subway, taxis and buses.)

Wonderful hotel
I had a fantastic experience here. Stayed here for one night on my way out of Rio after a business trip and it was a lovely oasis, compared to my stay in Ipanema on the way in. The staff was wonderful and the property is beautiful. I'd love to come back on vacation. I found the Santa Teresa neighborhood to be very interesting to walk around. The location high up may be inconvenient if I were trying to get all around the city, but it was conveniently close to the SDU airport and there were plenty of restaurants choices and things to do there. The room was very comfortable. Highly recommend, especially given the value compared to hotels in the Ipanema or Copacabana area, if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay and don't mind being farther from the beach.

Lovely stay
We stayed here for one night over carnaval and were able to walk to and from the sambadrome (and felt safe) The staff were fantastic, so lovely, friendly and welcoming, it was like going to stay with family!! The building itself is quite unusual as it's an old colonial building and you enter via a tunnel and old school elevator. The rooms were clean and tidy and had been decorated well, but obviously as this is an old building, we were able to hear people in the next room very clearly and also people walking about in the room above us. However, the bed was really comfortable and a great shower. We ordered room service, which I wouldn't recommend. We had panninis and they were really dry and resembled the food we had got on the plane. Breakfast wasn't included in the rate and based on the food we had, we didn't think it was worth it. The pool was clean and the garden area was lovely. And the seating areas in the reception were comfortable. I would recommend this place, but maybe not the best for light sleepers

Enchanted Casa Amarelo
Our stay at Casa Amarelo was a highlight during our trip to Brazil. A visual feast for the eyes, high in the hills of bohemian St. Teresa with stunning vistas of Rio, rooms that are enticing making you not want to leave them as they're exquisitely decorated. The staff is very attentive taking care of our every needs. Especially Lucia who stayed late one evening to personally look after us. So helpful, warm and friendly. We take away fond memories from our sojourn at Casa Amarelo, and we will never forget this remarkable experience.

Worst hotel for business traveler
It is more a guest house than hotel. It does no have any type of hotel service. No phone in the room, no TV, nothing. If you need a taxi you have to wait more than hour, not hotel.

O chalé é ótimo, perto da piscina...poderia ter uma TV, mas talvez seja intenção deles este quarto ser um ambiente mais intimista. No momento da minha chegada, o staff estava trabalhando para resolver um problema com cheiro de cigarro, ocasionado pelo hospede anterior, que fumou no banheiro, o que não é permitido pela casa. Apesar de não ser culpa do Hotel, deixaram a confirmação da reserva para nossa confirmação.

Super cosy hotel in Santa Theresa
We stayed at this lovley house for three days, and it was a really unique experience. The host (and the staff) treated us like friends and we really felt more like we lived in the house, rather than in a hotel. The room and the house were clean and neat. Great to cool down in the pool after a long day. The food was not that great, so I recommend eating out. Breakfast was OK. Santa Theresa is a viberat and cool neigbourhood and this is just a five minute walk from the «main» street.
