I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel resort in Rio de Janeiro that left a lasting impression on me and my wife. The building itself was designed by an architect who managed to imbue it with a sense of wonder that truly enhanced my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning view that greeted me, and this feeling continued throughout my stay. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the incredible breakfast, which featured fresh fruit and was served with a view of the valley. The combination of delicious food and beautiful scenery was truly unbeatable. But what really made this hotel stand out was the service. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, and their approach made me feel like I was staying at a friend's place rather than a hotel.

Tuakaza is an amazing place to stay. Hospitality and amenities are 10/10. Breakfast is served, and there are many opportunities for relaxing. The scenery is beautiful, and the pool adds to the beauty. I would highly suggest Tuakaza to any traveler who wants to get away from the noise of the city, but still wants easy access to it. Matteo is very friendly and helpful at providing recommendations!

Cannot say enough about TuAKaza: about the space; the host Matteo who is one of a kind; the privileged location with unique/thoughtful architecture and design that feels surreal - to name but a few. Magical and whimsical retreat in the city of Rio. Come here if you want peace, beauty and an opportunity to absorb the energy from the magnificent landscape that is so unique to Rio. Moments from amazing hiking up to Pedra Bonita, the entrance to Tujica National Park, as well as a short easy drive to fabulous beaches and restaurants. In sum, TuAKaza is an oasis powered by incredible human kindness and generosity.

A remarkable experience. A highly welcome way to experience Rio’s majestic nature. The views of pedra de Gávea, pedra bonita, the ocean, and the paragliders are extraordinary, as the property, its dozens of wood terraces, and pools are tastefully tucked into the hillside. Matteo is attentive to each guest and ensures your experience is relaxing and enjoyable, and the subtle ambiance and ample snacks and drinks make this a perfect getaway. Highly recommend it!

We were picked up by the owners personal driver from the airport which was great not having to figure out a taxi or Uber. We arrived at night and were amazed by the view when we woke up. When we arrived we were welcomed by Matteo and he treated us like family. Every morning Matteo had breakfast prepared for us, which was usually a collection of local fruits, coffee, fresh baked bread, meats, cheese, and eggs. There were complimentary drinks and snacks available all day in the main are and in our bedrooms. Our room was fantastic and clean with very comfortable beds. The view, the view, the view! We were a little nervous about the location and finding a way to and from restaurants, etc. This was no problem at all as local Ubers were easily available day and night to pick you up and take you where you need to go. Bonus, there is a very nice mall less than 10 mins drive that has many very nice restaurants and one in particular that delivers to Tuakaza. We were there to visit for Carnival and absolutely loved our stay, we can't say enough good things about the property and our hosts.

Environmentally unliveable/toxic for your health.
// Mould issues. I arrived after a red-eye flight. Was asked to sign the bill upon arrival (weird for me & I spent ~3 weeks of the month on the road staying in hotels). Entered the room to try and sleep, and as soon as I laid down, all I could smell was mould. My throat started getting itchy and then I had a headache, within 5 minutes. I rarely get headaches. If I do, it’s a sign something is very-off. This hotel exists in a lush temperate climate. I believe the room I was in has severe mould issues. It stank of mould and my body reacted to it. I booked another hotel & left. I would be curious to see their results from an indoor air quality test & mould spore count. // Unreasonable & sketchy way of handling a health-issue situation. Owners refused to give a refund for the week. I asked them to walk me through their logic (I’m a reasonable human & wanted to understand), they refuse, beyond copy-pasting a “no refund policy” that I agreed to. If I didn’t show-up for the reservation, that is one thing. I would have stayed at the hotel if it was a liveable & healthy space. It was not. That is why I left. // Unethical business practices. I would not recommend supporting this company. They refused to explain their logic & eagerly took some ~3500K for providing: no service. It would have been respectful if they dialogued with me, explained their rational vs. make vague copy-paste policy excuses to justify taking ~3500K for free. Prefer to donate to a favela or ethical company.

Relaxing stay in paradise.
My wife and i spent a night at Tuakaza. Upon entry we felt very welcomed by Mateo, who along with the resident dog Donna and cat Raffa, showed us his unique mansion set within Rio's forest. We instantly felt at home and were told that this was our home also. We were upgraded to a larger room with stunning mountain and ocean views. Breakfast was made especially for us with fresh fruit, beautiful breads, eggs made to our liking and beautiful coffee. A magical experience. We would like to stay for a longer period in the not to distant future.

fantastic venue going above and beyond
The main reason to go is to enjoy the beautiful architecture of the house nestled in the lush tropical hills of Rio. The massive lobby/living room/dining room area has a fantastic view and a very relaxing feel. The owner/manager, Matteo, is fantastic. I had booked the single room and was upgraded to a very large room. He was very helpful with recommendations and help me arrange hand gliding. As I was leaving in the evening and the room was not booked, he suggested I could come back and freshen up at 6:30 or so, before flying out. That kind of late checkout at no charge is unheard of in more traditional hotels! Great visit!

Best Way to experience Rio!!
Remote location in the Tropical forest with amazing views of the ocean, forest, and the amazing mountain tops. The facility is a giant cabin/mansion that was converted to a hotel which is operated by the property owners, they really care to make sure you have the best experience in Rio (They speak good English!!). They make an amazing 2 course breakfast in the morning special for you, you just let them know when you are ready for breakfast and they will start to prepare it for you (fresh). You get the jungle like experience seeing beautiful birds and moneys from your room balcony. Away from the noisy city, but is a close drive (10 min) if you want to go to the city. Facility is also equipped with back up electric generator encase of power outage. The hosts make many good recommendations on how to most enjoy your day. Definitely a more authentic experience than one you get from a Brand name hotel, especially in a place like Rio.
