Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Ilha da Gigóia

Wonderful place, people and the breakfeast is a great bonus. Overall a great value plus its very very safe.

Great accommodation and extremely attentive guests! I loved it!

This was our first trip to Brazil, and we spent four days at Charles' home in Rio. It was simply a wonderful time. The rooms (from which, there are three to choose), were clean, spacious and comfortable. They all are directly accessible from a lovely garden terrace overlooking the beautiful valley and mountains of Rio, straight up to the breathtaking statue of the Christ!!  Charles' creative use of space has provided every amenity you could possibly need to make his house your temporary home.  With a fully covered outdoor kitchen, two marble picnic tables and two BBQ grills (all of which, is for your personal use), you may find yourself struggling to choose between going out on the town for dinner, or running down to the local market to grab some fresh fish and vegetables and a nice bottle of Brazilian Moscato and enjoying a home cooked candle-lit dinner under the stars.  However, if you do decide to head into town for the night (or day), you are just minutes by foot from Botafogo Beach with views of the Yacht Club and Sugerloaf mountain, or by taxi to the sands of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and the endless shopping and fine dining establishments between them. In short, we can't imagine a better way to have visited Rio, Brazil, or for that matter, South America for the first time.  Charles was a wonderful host and went well above and beyond to see to our every need and comfort. We will definitely be telling our family and friends not to mention returning ourselves.  But more than that, we might just bring a few of them along with us next time... or maybe we should just keep Charles' little slice of heaven to ourselves!!!

I found my perfect stay! Vera is a lovely person and the place is beautiful and well organized. Breakfast time is very flexible!! The hill is a quiet place and people are very kind, I've met great restaurants right there. I am very grateful for the stay and I intend to come back more often ❤️❤️

The stay was excellent! The ease of access plus the proximity to Lapa made it much easier to get to and from the various points of Rio. I was very well received by the team, who answered any questions I might have. As already mentioned directly with them, it will certainly be where I will stay when I return to Rio!

Bindu is a fantastic host! Every morning she is super helpful about tips on where to go in Rio based on our interests. We lived her 7 days with our two kids (aged 6 and 9) who really loved to swim in the pool and hang out at home when we needed a break from the big city. Extremely delicious breakfast too. It has been amazing to live here!

Place very well located, the staff is super prompt and nice.

I loved the accommodation. Mr. Stanley and his staff are kind and polite! Beautiful and cozy place. I was very well received, my listing was even better than I expected! It is well worth staying there! I will come back for sure!

Local very well located, Alexandre is a wonderful host and makes you feel at home. When I return to Rio, I will stay there again. I highly recommend it!

As described in the listing , Knez Lourdes is an extremely helpful and welcoming host. Me and my family felt at home ,we were very well received , I have no words to describe such kindness and reception that we had. The place is very quiet even though it is within a community. We will surely come back more often !!Jesus always bless!!!

Everything was perfect with Steve. The welcome was nice and very friendly. The breakfast very good. Appartement clean and comfortable. Thanks a lot Steve. Mariana & Frank

Beautiful place with a lot of charm and dedication, surrounded by an environment that transports the nature of Rio de Janeiro within the same city. The hosts were very hoapital and attentive, always attentive to every last detail. The room was beautiful, very cozy and spotless. It also has stays where it can be shared, including a wonderful pool. Fully recommended 👌🏻

Fernanda thank you for a wonderful stay and making us feel very welcome! perfect location to enjoy Carnival ☀️

I stayed on New Year's Eve. Place is beautiful and huge. All very clean, breakfast gives satisfactory breakfast, extremely kind and polite staff. Thoughtful & respectful host. Thanks for the hospitality and I highly recommend it

wonderful place and a pleasant welcome. I advise you to stay at least 2 nights. Perfect!

Astrid and Ricardo are beautiful very friendly and welcoming people, they make you feel very comfortable and welcome you into their home. They make you feel part of the family. Her home has a lot of nature. Your search for nature and tranquility, the Art house is very accurate.

I am SO happy my bestie chose this Airbnb. He came last year and loved it so when I told him I wanted to join his annual trip to Rio, he insisted we stay here. Now I understand why. This is the most charming Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. This home is enchanted. I had the best and most restorative sleep here every night. The beds were cozy. The bathroom is stunning. The whole house is full of beautiful local art. There’s attention placed into every detail of the home and the experience itself. Opt for the breakfast. A great way to start the day. There’s a gym nearby where you can get a cheap weekly pass. 20 min Uber to the beach ($3 or $4 USD). Walking distance from the entrance to Christ the Redeemer if that’s your thing. Such an amazing host and beautiful spirit. I asked for thread to sew something and she did it for me. Genuinely, she’s SO kind! She also sent out our laundry as an add on. I hope to visit again someday soon. Magical place! Thank you thank you thank you!

Amazing stay, everything perfect, the staff is incredible

Quiet beach, safe neighborhood, the region lacks a bit of an option. Excellent hosting, room with a wonderful view, very cozy beds, we got everything very clean. We use the common area with barbecue and feel at home. The only downside is lack of parking and difficult access, which is the difficulty of all the bed and breakfasts in the area.

I stayed at CasaJomo Art at the very end of my time in Rio, and I genuinely wish I had found it sooner! The neighborhood had a charming, small-community feel, free from the usual tourist crowds, which made it even more special. The property itself was perfect—beautifully maintained, with spacious and private rooms. Breakfast was a highlight, with fresh fruit and delicious offerings each morning. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible family who runs it. Their hospitality is unmatched; they welcomed me with open arms, making me feel safe, cared for, and completely at home. It was clear they simply wanted me to have the best experience possible, and they went above and beyond to make that happen. Would absolutely stay here again!

We went as a couple and found that Urca is a great place to live in/stay in Rio, a quiet neighborhood and reasonably close to everything (within what is possible in a city the size of Rio de Janeiro). The apartment is also great, spacious, comfortable, complete, in a beautiful house, super well decorated and with a great vibe. The only negative point was the bathroom box, which dropped water out of the bath space. If they solve this box issue, the apartment is perfect. Service was also great, polite and attentive, and we had a specific demand that the Host was very proactive to help us. We would definitely get back to staying.

We loved the stay. Beautiful bed and breakfast (not included) tasty and polished. Employees are very solicitous. The neighborhood is beautiful, with many restaurants but difficult to access since many ubers and taxis did not accept running to get to and from the neighborhood. What's more, we love the experience.

Perfect little area, nice and quiet. Everything just walking distance. Bruno went above and beyond giving us recommendations to do and eat. Anything I needed he was willing to help. Great time there

Everything clean! I felt at home!!!
