Luxury travel specialists ‘Dehouche’ like to steer their clients away form the main tourist hubs. The majority of visitors to Rio flock to the city’s beachside neighbourhoods of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, often overlooking the more Bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, yet this delightful neighbourhood has much to offer the luxury traveller.
One of Dehouche’s favourite hotels in Rio has to be the relatively newly opened ‘Hotel Santa Teresa’ situated at the very heart of this charming neighbourhood.
Housed in a beautifully restored former colonial mansion, the hotel boasts a ‘Natura’ spa, Franco-Brazilian restaurant and the most romantic bar in Rio and is undoubtedly an ideal honeymoon destination.
This largely undiscovered neighbourhood, is situated just a twenty minute taxi ride from the marvellous city’s famous Atlantic beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. However, Dehouche clients who opt to stay here discover that there is more to this city than just the beach as you quickly find out on one of Dehouche’ tailor made off-track tours of the city.
Still served by the traditional yellow tram which winds the maze of cobbled streets and crumbling colonial mansions nestled amongst tropical Atlantic rainforest, Santa Teresa is home to local artists and musicians and it’s not uncommon to find spontaneous musical performances on street corners being enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
Sometimes referred to as the ‘Montmartre of the Tropics’, like its Parisian counterpart, the area has much to offer the ‘bon vivant’ in terms of gastronomic delights. For those who truly want to escape it all, Dehouche recommends the restaurant retreat of ‘Aprazível’ (or ‘Pleasant’ in Portuguese) and pleasantly surprised you will be if you venture up here. The elevated position of the neighbourhood means it enjoys unrivalled panoramic views of the city and this restaurant is located at the very summit a perfect spot appreciate the city and complete bay area and a perfect location as part of a longer Brazil Honeymoon as created by Dehouche the expert in South American Honeymoons.
Those who travel with Dehouche benefit from a whole host of insider tips on where to go and what to avoid and the team’s expert local knowledge ensures your stay in Brazil will be absolutely unforgettable.
