Rio de Janeiro
At a glance
Casa 48 Rio is a guesthouse in Santa Teresa, set on Rua Almirante Alexandrino between the neighbourhood’s hillside streets and the wider city of Rio de Janeiro. The atmosphere is informal and communal, with shared facilities arranged across two floors rather than a hotel-style layout. Seven private rooms are available, with no dormitory accommodation.
The room selection includes five standard rooms and two suites. Standard rooms can be arranged with single or double beds and share three bathrooms across the property. They are available for single, double or triple occupancy. The two suites have private bathrooms and individual terraces facing Sugarloaf. One of the suites can accommodate three people with a double bed and a single bed.
Casa 48 includes a self-service breakfast, Wi-Fi and access to a swimming pool on the rooftop. The rooftop looks out across a green area, while a larger terrace and a patio provide additional outdoor space. Indoors, two fully equipped kitchens are available for guest use, alongside two living rooms. This setup suits independent travellers who appreciate the flexibility of preparing food, using communal rooms and spending time in a shared guesthouse environment.
The property also offers laundry facilities, a bar, a beauty salon and airport transfer services. Maps and local tips are available for guests planning time in Santa Teresa and nearby areas. A tour service connected with the guesthouse offers guided outings around Rio and its surroundings, including walking, driving and cycling options, with private and small-group formats.
Casa 48 works for travellers seeking a small-scale base with practical shared amenities, as well as for couples and small groups needing private rooms rather than dormitory beds. The suite terraces add a more private outdoor element, while the standard rooms provide a simpler arrangement with shared bathrooms. A self-service breakfast, guest kitchens, rooftop pool and common living areas give the stay a residential character.
