O Veleiro Bed and Breakfast

Offers security and tranquility in a 3-story, rustic style home, set on 10,000 square feet of forested property above Botafogo Beach - walking distance from world famous Sugar Loaf and the Corcovado Train station and just minutes by public transport from Copacabana & Ipanema Beaches, Botanical Gardens and the Historical Downtown. We are only a short aprox. 12min walk from local busses and metro service. We offer you an alternative in a comfortable, friendly, homestyle atmosphere, at moderate prices as opposed to conventional, impersonal hotel accommodations. The 'Bed and Breakfast' tradition is relatively unheard of in Brazil. As pioneers, our aim is to contribute to the enjoyment of your visit to Rio by providing you with useful local information on a variety of subjects such as language, local history, music, cultural issues, attractions and 'general know how' such as how to best get around safely in the city. We offer customized half and full day tours and ecological trips in and around Rio as well as longer jeep trips (by special request). We can also provide tips for you on travel to less known points of interest in other parts of Brazil and help with travel planning in general, should you be interested. Two of your hosts are officially registered guides, both for the state of Rio and nationally. We look forward to introducing you to the Brazilian way of life and to making your stay in Brazil one you will remember for years to come!
