The swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees and birds of paradise, is a perfect setting for the staff of Mama Ruisa to meet your every need. The Mama Ruisa is a brand-new guesthouse with an exotic Brazilian feel, combined with a unique and modern French touch. The owner, Jean Michel Ruis, who has worked for Le Méridien and Concorde Hotels, offers a personalized service to enable guests to enjoy an unforgettable Brazilian experience.
All 7 modern-style, luxurious rooms offer you a breathtaking view of the well known Sugar Loaf and the bay. Collections of drawings by Jean Cocteau, unique photos of Josephine Baker, Colette, Maria Callas, collection of religious sculptures from all over Brazil – the French-Brazilian elegance is in every room and corner. All rooms have air-conditioning, mini-bar, cable T.V., bathroom, and telephone.
One can enjoy breakfast on the terrace, have a drink or a quick snack at the pool, get a massage, manicure or pedicure, or take a ride with a private chauffeur to visit such places as the Atelier d’artistes or the Tijuca Forest.
This is a wonderful, luxurious mansion in the heart of Santa Teresa, overlooking the bay of Guanabara:
- 20 minutes from the international airport
- 15 minutes from Ipanema & Copacabana beaches
- 10 minutes from the historical center (Convent of St. Antonio,
historical churches, cultural center, opera house and other options)
- 10 minutes from Lapa, the heart of the samba bars and cabarets of the ’20s, with the most popular, sophisticated, underground night life in Rio.
Santa Teresa is an example of a genuine Carioca neighborhood with the charm of its 19th-Century colonial architecture. Visit the famous Carmelite Convent, taste the divine Amazonian food at the restaurant Aprazivel, dance all night at the Bar do Mineiro.
Experience it all, only 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel.
