Casa da Cacaia e do Henrique  

Perched in Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro, this hostel puts you in a bohemian hilltop pocket minutes from Chácara do Céu Museum. Lapa’s nightlife is about 1 km away and the Selarón Steps, Arcos da Lapa, Corcovado and Sugarloaf are all within easy reach. Ideal for travelers hunting a central, characterful Rio stay.

Small and social: only a few air-conditioned rooms, each with a private balcony or patio. Expect shared spaces — a communal kitchen and TV room — and simple bathrooms with showers. The place leans casual and local, with garden views and a lived-in Santa Teresa vibe.

Garden with views, barbecue grills and a communal TV area set the scene for social hangs. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. Staff offer tour/ticket assistance and multilingual service. Roundtrip airport shuttle and city transfers are available for a surcharge, and laundry/dry cleaning is on-site.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and a 24-hour front desk make arrivals and remote work straightforward.

Grab a quick bite at the snack bar/deli or cook your own meals in the communal kitchen. There’s also a barbecue area for group meals and casual evenings.
