Fodor's Expert Review Casa Cool Beans
Rua Laurinda Santos Lobo 136, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 20240–270, Brazil Fodor's Choice
American expats Lance and David opened Casa Cool Beans in 2010, determined to raise the bar for accommodations in Rio, and their guests rave about the attentive service, chill atmosphere, and gorgeous decor. The converted colonial mansion, painted a resplendent purple, is set over three floors separated by leafy outdoor spaces complete with sundecks, and the rooms are tastefully appointed and decorated with artworks (many of them available for sale) by gifted local artists.
PROS
- excellent service
- pool has views over the scenic, bohemian Santa Teresa neighborhood
- lavish alfresco breakfasts
CONS
- difficult for taxis to find
- far from the beach
- best to take taxis or explore the surroundings with minimum valuables
