Great stay !
We had an Ant line tracking behind our bathroom sink. We reported it, but it never went away. The staff here are great, location is fantastic, and it appears this is one of the premier hotels in Buzios

We spent 5 nights at the hotel. All of the staff were very good, friendly and helpful. Our room did not have any view which was a shame, but I think that was all that was available when we booked. We had a bath on the small terrace, but we did not use it and it seemed a bit pointless placed where it was. One complaint about the room was not enough places to store things. The food in the restaurant was excellent, except on Christmas Eve when we paid a lot of money (£140 per person) for a very poor meal. Other diners that we spoke to agreed. But that was a one off! We ate there 2 other times and were very happy, but the wine choices were poor and expensive.

Wonderful
The hotel is amazing, the images don’t do it justice. The staff really do give 5* service. From the second you walk into the hotel it’s like a little sanctuary, and when you see the views just wow. The breakfast was excellent, the cocktails at the bar were fab, and we ate in the restaurant one night which was also excellent. The room was much bigger than expected and nice to have a private courtyard. My only two suggestions would be in the bedrooms - to provide bottled water daily, and to provide a wastebasket in the room. This hotel really is a gem, it’s beautiful and we really couldn’t fault it. Also in a great location and the steps take you straight to the Bardot walk (and statue outside).

Beautiful property with an incredible breakfast and view over the water. Dinner at the restaurant and mistico next door were phenomenal. My only complaint is I wish they had a bigger pool or a jacuzzi instead of the sauna. There’s a small dipping pool and then the small infinity pool. The room was small but comfortable.

This is a great spot to stay in Buzios. Beautiful property, excellent location, great amenities and really really thoughtful staff. Some highlights- the heated pool at sunset, the great breakfast, and the ease of stepping out the quiet oasis of a property onto the Main Street into town, just minutes away. And the staff are great! Offering ideas and really attentive. You’ll love it.

Small, exquisitely-kept boutique hotel… you can also grab a well worn book during your stay (bunch of “easy read” novels available on common areas and your own room), views of the bay are second to none, food is a “high point”, ALTO restaurant offers a hearty breakfast buffet, top notch lunch and dinner with Italian-Mediterranean fusion theme, awesome overall, we’ll be back.

La respuesta y atencion de Tiago su director general ante un problema surgido durante mi estancia fue totalmente reprochable y de poca consideración hacia un cliente. Es lamentable que el dinero impere y le sea más importante a este señor que la satisfacción que pueda sentir un huésped en su establecimiento sabiendo aún las consecuencias que pudieran traerle una mala opinión sobre el hotel. Señor Tiago, independiente de su poca comprensión humana ante una emergencia presentada por un huésped, le deseamos lo mejor para usted y su hotel. Quisiéramos aclarar que la atención de los empleados no reflejan el comportamiento del señor Tiago

Great Hotel
The hotel was perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was of high quality and the 3 dinners I had in the hotel dining area were some of the best meals in Búzios. The drinks were well made. One of the best parts of this hotel are the views. The room was constantly cool and easy to set to whatever preference you may have. The only complaint I could think of for someone would be the walking distance to the beaches, but that wasn't a problem for us and Uber is readily available in buzios. I would highly recommend this hotel based on the quality of the service provided, the view of the area, and the overall tranquility of the hotel environment.

Our stay at Vila D’este was spectacular. The service is beyond five stars; everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay as wonderful as possible. A very sincere and special thank you to Marcos and Omar at the reception desk, as well as Perecyles and Rodnei at the breakfast buffet. They and the rest of the staff did their best to accommodate any of our questions or requests and helped make our stay extra special. The location of the hotel is perfect…nestled on top of a small cliff giving panoramic views, yet still very convenient and right next to the center of town. There are a number of fantastic restaurants within a minute’s walking distance (including the food at the hotel). The property is maintained meticulously and feels like a tranquil piece of paradise. We’d give this hotel far more than five stars if we could, and we look forward to coming back. Thank you for an amazing holiday!
