Welcome to our little oasis in Rio de Janeiro
We are a cozy guesthouse in the artistic neighborhood of Santa Teresa, just a short walk from the vibrant areas of Lapa and Glória. Our house has a warm, multicultural atmosphere where travelers from all over the world come together.
We are now entering an exciting new chapter: soon, we will also open a coliving and coworking space for digital nomads. Our vision is to create a lively hub where people can live, work, and share experiences — a home that combines hospitality, creativity, and community life.
