Villa Paranaguá Hotel & Spa
Nestled in the heart of Rio de Janeiro’s historic Santa Teresa neighborhood, Villa Paranaguá Hotel & Spa is a boutique hotel in Santa Teresa that combines luxury, comfort, and inclusivity. Once the home of Brazilian actress Tônia Carrero, this charming property has been beautifully restored to offer guests an exceptional stay where history meets modern elegance, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views.
Location and Accommodations
Villa Paranaguá is located in the vibrant neighborhood of Santa Teresa, known for its rich culture, artistic energy, and charming cobblestone streets. The hotel features six exclusive suites, each designed to provide a peaceful retreat from the city’s lively buzz.
The interiors, carefully renovated by Marie and Pierre Beuscher, showcase a harmonious mix of styles. Each room boasts high ceilings, iconic design furniture by creators like Sérgio Rodrigues, Le Corbusier, Philippe Starck, and Naoto Fukasawa, as well as handpicked art pieces. The result is a space that feels both refined and welcoming, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Guests are also treated to one of Rio’s most stunning panoramas: an amazing view of the iconic Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain). Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or relaxing by the pool, the breathtaking scenery is a highlight of the experience.
A Luxurious Swimming Pool Surrounded by Nature
At the heart of Villa Paranaguá’s serene outdoor space lies a stunning swimming pool, inviting guests to unwind in style. The pool is surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation, creating an intimate oasis that feels worlds away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip, lounging on the poolside deck, or simply soaking up the peaceful ambiance, the experience is truly unparalleled.
The combination of vibrant greenery, fresh air, and luxurious design makes this pool area one of the most relaxing spots in the hotel. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a quiet afternoon, a good book, or even a cocktail as the sun sets over Rio’s iconic skyline.
Breakfast: A French-Inspired Delight
Start your day with a breakfast experience that brings a little bit of France to Rio. Served in the charming dining area or on the terrace overlooking the gardens, the breakfast highlights high-quality French ingredients and products. Think freshly baked artisanal breads and pastries, alongside a selection of tropical fruits and locally sourced delicacies. This French-inspired breakfast combines simplicity and elegance, offering guests a delicious start to the day. Whether you prefer a light meal or something more indulgent, the staff ensures every detail is taken care of, catering to individual tastes and dietary preferences.

We help ensure gay travelers can travel and feel welcome anywhere they go. To help in that aim, we have added gay-friendly hotels as alternative to our community-based room and apartment sharing.
How do we select and designate these gay-friendly hotels?
To vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider many criteria including: support or affiliation to LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), LGBTNetwork, etc. We also look at how hotels reach out to the LGBTQ+ community (LGBTQ+ section on websites, marketing spend on LGBTQ+ outlets, staff training (Out Now), etc.) and we consider their HRC ratings (USA).
