Historic Victorian Mansion

Villa Laurinda is a Victorian mansion originally built in the 1880s, restored by a Brazilian and Swiss couple. It features original wall paintings, antique Portuguese ceramic tiles, and antique wash basins. The public areas maintain Colonial charm with original modern art and unique furniture like a black leather therapist's sofa and striped armless chair.

Rooms with Samba Names

All rooms are named after Rio's famous samba schools and include free WiFi, free newspapers, and minibars. Rooms feature air conditioning, tile or marble floors, and shared bathrooms with free toiletries and hair dryers. Some rooms offer garden views and measure 15 square meters with fans.

Breakfast and Poolside Bar

The open-air breakfast room serves a free buffet breakfast daily. Guests can enjoy drinks at the bar or poolside bar. Other amenities include a coffee shop/cafe and barbecue facilities in the garden.

Pool, Sauna and Garden

The hotel features a swimming pool in a tropical garden setting, a sauna, and a steam room. There's a home-like lounge with bookshelves, flat-screen TV, comfortable sofas, and a desktop computer for guest use. The property offers luggage storage and free WiFi throughout.

Santa Teresa Location

Villa Laurinda is located in Santa Teresa, known for winding cobblestone streets, steep hills, and views over Rio de Janeiro and Guanabara Bay. The neighborhood offers galleries, cafes, and restaurants. It's 300 meters from Santa Teresa, 500 meters from Mirante do Rato Molhado, and 2 km from Modern Art Museum. The famous yellow Bonde tram is expected to return by mid-2015. Santos Dumont Airport is the nearest airport, and the hotel provides a roundtrip airport shuttle.

“Located in the culturally rich Santa Teresa neighborhood, this restored Victorian mansion incorporates modern art and comforts. I especially appreciate the blend of traditional decor and modern amenities, plus its proximity to both Lapa's nightlife and the beaches. It strikes me as a smart choice for families or anyone seeking a relaxed base with character in Rio.”
