Casa de Santa Teresa in 20241-266, open April–September.
Your celebration deserves the most beautiful view in the world... and you deserve the freedom to make it your own way.
Surrounded by nature and featuring breathtaking views of Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, and Guanabara Bay, Casa de Santa Teresa has been hosting weddings and events for over 25 years, marked by a unique and unforgettable setting in Rio de Janeiro.
Great view, charming place and delicious buffet. I recommend for marriage or business parties. The only down side is the access, that can only be done by car and is a little narrow.
