Breakfast Bliss

“The breakfast at Santa Teresa was absolutely the best I had during my entire trip in Brazil. I enjoyed a wide selection of fresh fruits, cheeses, cold meats, and yogurt, and the true highlight was ordering the tapioca with white cheese and guava. It was a good experience to pair a delicious breakfast with fine views over the city, making each morning lovely.” view full review

Fine Pool Experience

“The outdoor swimming pool at the hotel is truly gorgeous, designed with natural colors and materials that blend seamlessly with the scenery. The soothing, lukewarm water was a perfect escape, and lounging by the pool on comfortable sunbeds while taking in the amazing views of the city was a highlight of my stay. It was also fun to see both hotel guests and day visitors enjoying the pool area.” view full review

I had a lovely stay at the Santa Teresa Hotel RJ - MGallery. The hospitality and charm of the hotel were great, but there were a couple of drawbacks. While the location is beautiful and gives a great view, my room left something to be desired with its lack of natural light. Overall, it was a nice experience filled with good moments and a few minor inconveniences.
