An ideal place
Due to its incredibly central location, Casa da Gente is the perfect accommodation to enjoy the tranquility of Santa Teresa, as well as the bohemian neighborhood of Lapa, the nature of Glória or the animation of the Center. The proximity of the subway and buses gives quick access to the other beauties of the Marvelous City (Sugar Loaf, Urca, Corcovado, Botanical Garden, Ipanema...).
