My husband and I stayed here for only a couple days. We found this place only after booking another place so we could only stay a few days. First of all the guesthosue is spacious. My husband and I didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Also, the minibar prices were very reasonable and not overpriced like... More

Our first experience in Rio.....was an experience of a lifetime! Silvia, Francisco & Family......made us feel as if we were part of their family. Always available for recommendations and help of where to go, what to do, what to see as a local would want to experience. Just like a Carioca!!! Breakfast was always delicious and more than we could... More

The best service and attention! We felt like visiting good friends. Super breakfast, good people with heart and a very nice place to stay.

Un desayuno maravilloso, unos corazones los dueños y el... More

In the spectacular surroundings of Rio the Guest house ran by Sylvia and Francisco really made our trip. Only a short distance from all that Rio has to offer this place was like our own little piece of tranquil paradise. We fell in love with it from the first minute we arrived. The loft complex in which we stayed was... More

I totally agree with all the previous reviews. I stayed 4 nights with my daughter, her new husband and my 1 year old grandchild. We were in the Studio, which was roomy enough for us all to be very comfortable. The housing, grounds, location and hosts are fantastic. Paulino added a special touch. Ever request was responded to immediately yet... More

We stayed at Utropico for nine days and would not have had the time we did had we stayed somewhere else. It was perfect! It looks exactly like the pictures but what you can't see is the feel of the place; it felt like our own little paradise, like a home away from home. Sylvia and her family and staff... More

I stayed 2 weeks at Utropico Guest House (the studio), and I'm very impressed with the place. Located on a small island, away from the traffic chaos and noise. The only downside, can be noise from boats, and all wildlife on the islands - didn't really bother me, but woke up early because of noise from boats. I felt very... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here at the end our first trip to Brazil that was definitely not long enough. We were coming back up the coast from Paraty and Ilha Grande by bus and were laden with broken luggage. Silvia was amazing and kindly arranged for a car to pick us up from the bus station and whisk us... More
