The bugs. You will have visitors in your room from time to time, but they’re not too much of a bother

The views are amazing. The food is some of the best I’ve been blessed to eat in my life. The staff is great. A wonderful place to go to escape real life for a bit.

Unbelievable property in a stunning location Beautifully designed With the most amazing view Felt so peaceful here but it’s still so close to rio The best part about this stay was definitely the staff who were so lovely and accommodating - nothing was too much and the food was excellent

This is a beautiful Hotel which exudes style. Marcello the owner is lovely and very kind and good company. This is a hotel that has a deep Brazilian cultural heritage for Achitecture and design/ music. You feel like you're in a James Bond film here. The chefs are superb as are the rest of the staff. This really cemented our love for Rio and Brazil. Where you stay- absolutely matters. This is one place you should make time to stay at. When I visit Brazil again i'll be staying here.

I didn’t like I had to leave and go back home. I wish I lived there for good.

What an experience! I’ve had a very unique perspective of the city, also seemed a very special place when jt comes to culture and architecture. Long time I see nothing as captivating and interesting as the CliffSide. Amazed by the staff and the small details. Simply fantastic.

Ocean View

Stayed in July 2023

We arrived at the house and as soon as we entered we were shocked by the beauty of the Place. The architecture and the furnitures are a piece of art, every single detail shows taste and intelligence. Beautiness doesn't end inside the house but flourish outside as well, in a beautiful garden full of stairs and plants, facing the most incredible view of the Ocean. This house breath history, I call It 'house' and not 'hotel' because back in the days It was actually a house and the atmosphere of íntimacy and coziness are the one of a house lived by people, not only professionals. And that Is the most beautiful side of this Place: the people. The staff was super professional in every aspect but also incredibly warm and Easy to talk to. They helped us in all sorts of things, showing real care and flexibility. Last but not least this Place have a special secret for the One Who enjoy Brazilian music, but i don't want to spoil it because the host must enjoy telling this incredible surprise

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed in. It’s absolutely beautiful and the staff is so welcoming and helpful that they made our stay absolutely phenomenal. I can only recommend to choose Cliffside if you’re in Rio!

A bit far from rio

Beautiful house and location

everything was perfect

This is just an amazing place! The villa itself is very stylish and comfortable, with beautiful views of the ocean and the city. Separately, I would like to mention the incredibly friendly and caring staff, who made us feel as at home. Ideal for getting away from the bustling city, while at the same time, within walking distance from the hotel there is a beautiful beach and streets with a night life.

Nothing. If anything I wish I would've booked my vacation for longer.

I had the great opportunity to stay at the Cliffside in March, and I have nothing but praise for all the hotel staff. From the first contact with the hotel, I was treated with politeness and professionalism. The hotel has an excellent location inside a community with 24/7 security. The room had a beautiful sea view and was extremely clean and comfortable. Every member of staff I encountered, from check-in to cleaning staff, was outstanding and always on hand to help me. The restaurant had a wide variety of food; I enjoyed meeting the chefs Leonardo and André. They were attentive, with a wide array of dishes to choose from. Finally, I want to thank the owner, Marcelo, whom I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to during my stay. It was very clear that his goal was that each guest’s experience was nothing but phenomenal, something he accomplished with my stay. I will definitely return to Cliffside more often and recommend it to everyone who wants to go to Rio and have a more relaxing and catered experience.

Marcello and his people did everything to make this a memorable experience. We were greeted by the chef inquiring about our dinner preferences to make us the perfect meal on the cliffside.

i liked everything.

The hotel is located in one of the most beautiful places in Rio, with breathtaking views from the moment you are arriving. The history of the house, the rooms, the food, and the natural water pool, make it a unique stay. Chef André and Marcello were excellent hosts, making our stay extremely special.
