Local before arrival
This small, luxurious guest house high above Rio de Janeiro in the stylish villa district of Gávea offers superlative views of two of the city’s most famous landmarks: Sugarloaf Mountain and the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer. The ambience created by French designer François-Xavier Dussol successfully blends French sophistication with Brazilian joie de vivre—which always seems to resonate with a hint of samba rhythm.
