I took my boyfriend there as a surprise for his 30th birthday and it was an inspired choice!

I've just stayed in the Santa Teresa for 10 days, the first part of the trip for work, the second for a romantic weekend break. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the hotel catered better for the latter than the former. It's definitely set up for relaxing, canoodling, smooching and generally enjoying the finer things in life at a leisurely pace. The place itself... More

Stayed here as part of our honeymoon. Excellent hotel surroundings, very luxurious. The booking took a little longer that we wanted. It was a lovely room, very clean, modern with a large bathroom. The amenities were lovely, the pool fantastic. Breakfast was excellent - really lovely restaurant - great atmosphere. We only stayed for a couple of nights, so didn't... More

We stayed for 5 days and it was absolutely great! The hotel is pretty comfortable and the staff at the restaurante was so nice to us... During this time we had dinner every night there and they did a great job presenting the options and helping us to choose. Congratulations to the Chef Damien and his staff. Wishing to go... More

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights to celebrate my wife´s birthday. we live in Rio and wanted to enjoy a relaxing and romantic weekend. It could not have been better. The hotel is beautiful, many gardens and great pool with views over the entire city. Had a wonderful romantic dinner at the restaurant called Tereze and both had seafood... More

One of the best boutique hotels that I have stayed at in a long time. When I booked, I felt that it was a bit of a throw of the dice as from the photos and Google street view, I was not completely sold on the area and the external photo of the hotel building does not see it particularly... More

Obviously there have been some very mixed experiences at this hotel and ours was not one of the best. We had been travelling round Brazil for three and a half weeks and I booked two nights at this very expensive hotel expecting to enjoy the best service and luxury such as we had experienced at the Hotel das Cataratas (Orient...

I had reserved a junior suite but upon my arrival was given a room with a small bathroom which did not even have a bath. They told me it was a junior suite but I did not believe their claim. I then ask them for a junior suite with a bath but they told me they were no longer available... More

Dear Guest, We thank you for your review on Relais & Chateaux Santa Teresa Hotel. We had some booking issues concerning the junior suites and we changed the classification stating those that have bathtub instead of shower only. But rest assured both are junior suites, but our fault on the room description site. We do apologise for the inconvenience. As... More

We stayed for 6 nights at Santa Teresa. At the time of booking it was number 1 rated hotel on Trip Advisor and whilst a little out of our budget we thought we would splash out as it was part of our honeymoon. Overall the stay was enjoyable however the staff let the hotel down - it never felt like... More
