"Villa Alexandrino " with its breathtaking views of Rio is one of the most beautiful colonial house in Santa Teresa . Built in the late 19th century, high on a mountain , surrounded by lush greenery and tropical flora , the villa offers a spectacular view of the Guanabara Bay , the city, the harbor and the famous Maracana. Surrounded by terraced gardens and equipped with a swimming pool, "Villa Alexandrino" will surprise even highly refined guest
Alexis Erbsheuser, French expatriate for the love of Rio , cariocas , nature and weather. Graduated in MBA, tourism has become my profession after having carried out various experiments. Today being able to offer a place of comfort in a dream setting and offering quality service is a chance I enjoy sharing.
Santa Teresa itself - with its cafes, restaurants and cobbled streets, will delight lovers of historic and picturesque Rio. The area is served by buses that connect you to the Metro " Largo do Machado " or center via the famous Lapa district . You can also borrow the latest Bonde Rio de Janeiro (old tram) also connecting to Lapa.
