Although my name is at the top of this post, the true author of it is my friend Constance Escobar, an expert in all things Rio. She lives and works in Rio, but in recent years has also found time to write about her native city. Blogging became a passion and now she "travels" in her own backyard making wonderful discoveries like this one: La Suite.
This 7-room guesthouse is almost completely unknown in Rio itself.
It's located in a residential district called Joá where tourists hardly ever go. Tucked away behind a deceptively small door Constance encountered.... THIS!
The views left her breathless...
A full 95% of guests are foreign. How do they find this place? Wallpaper magazine?
Check! Mr and Mrs Smith? Check! Basically, they've been featured in all cool travel and lifestyle mags.

Co-owners Rodrigo Harold and François-Xavier Dussol (who also owns La Maison, in Gávea, which you can read about here), actually live there, and the place feels definitely.... residential!
François was in charge of the elegant décor...
But the décor has no way of beating the "décor" of the outdoors: stunning!
Even the cute and colourful rooms have that amazing view. YES, every one of them!
Rates are around R$560,00 to R$960,00. (USD 300-500)
