Mansão Santa Teresa in 20241-400, open April–September.
Mansão Santa Teresa occupies a restored colonial estate on a hillside in Rio's historic Santa Teresa neighborhood, where tile-roofed buildings and cobblestone streets frame views across the city toward Guanabara Bay.
The mansion's elevated position offers natural sightlines to distant mountains and the urban landscape below, creating dramatic backdrop possibilities for ceremonies and photographs.
Period architecture and mature gardens provide the bones of a venue with genuine historical character rather than constructed ambiance.
I went for a private party. It was a wonderful experience! The view is magnific and there is a big pool, a beautiful and gorgeous yard and comfort and large instalations. I recommend it!!
