I had an amazing stay at Casa Amarelo, a charming boutique hotel with a cozy atmosphere. The beautifully decorated rooms had 12' ceilings and offered very nice views. While I enjoyed the peaceful location overlooking downtown, I found the breakfast to be somewhat limited in options. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I would definitely return.

I had an amazing stay at Casa Amarelo. The charming atmosphere and beautifully decorated spaces really set it apart. The neighborhood was vibrant yet safe, with good restaurants nearby. My only slight issue was that the hosts were only around during certain parts of the day, but they were incredibly friendly and welcoming when present.

I really enjoyed my stay at Casa Amarelo. The boutique hotel had a charming atmosphere, with old-world decor and spacious rooms that boasted high ceilings, creating a feeling of comfort. While the location was safe and near a lively area, the steep hill made getting around a bit challenging at times.

My room was beautifully decorated with a huge chandelier and had an enormous bed, making it very comfortable. The spacious bathroom came with a great shower, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that it felt somewhat disconnected from the rest of the hotel.

Nestled in the bohemian Santa Teresa district, the location was quiet yet conveniently close to Lapa's nightlife. However, the steep hill meant using Uber often, which was a minor inconvenience. The view overlooking downtown added to the charm.
