located in an old colonial building that has been painted bright red and is very typical of the area, this establishment is a prime example of a typical pousada in the area.

guests are surrounded by nature and beauty with magnificent views of the surrounding area, and a lovely swimming pool for an early morning dip.

pousadas are not necessarily lower-priced than hotels, in fact for some of the most luxurious one the opposite is true - such as the gorgeous quinta azul boutique pousada, one of santa teresa 's treasures.     

the website hidden pousadas brazil is  a useful tool when looking for this type of accommodations in rio or niterói, as well as the famous mais pousadas,   pousadas-pousadas, and guia pousadas.
