Description
What could be better than waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and experiencing the carioca lifestyle by staying in a private home in the charming, artsy hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa?

Cama e Café (Bed and Breakfast) is an agency which will find you a comfortable place to stay in one of the 50+ homes in their network. They’ll take into account all of your needs and preferences (Do you like pets? Do you smoke? Are you a vegetarian? Etc.) when placing you in one of their bed & breakfast locations (max. 3 rooms/house).

Accommodations range from modern apartments to colonial mansions, many have views of the city below and some have verdant grounds with fruit trees. Many of the hosts are artists or are connected to the local arts scene and many will provide info on local events, transport, sightseeing and safety. Some even have studios on the premises. All hosts are trained in hospitality and houses are all well-kept and clean. Guests are free to come and go as they please. Because you stay in a home with a host, this is not an anonymous accommodation, although privacy is respected.
