The atmosphere of this old colonial fazenda, an oasis in the heart of the historic district, combines traditional authenticity and “tropical chic” design. Whether by the pool or in the tropical gardens, the Santa Teresa boasts spectacular panoramic views of the Bay of Rio and the Centro. The unique décor of the rooms features jacaranda, cinnamon, ipe wood, natural fibres and golden slate. The wellness-centre invites relaxation to the rhythm of the Xingu massages and Amazonian oil baths.
