    we stayed 3 nights at Um Meia Tres and would endorse all the previous positive reviews,but please note one needs to be physically fit to climb the steep hills around the B/B and the many steps in the b/b itself as there is no elevator

    Um Meia Tres is the address of the chic, light, beautiful, and in all ways wonderful bed and breakfast in Rio's beloved bohemian hideaway of Santa Teresa. Its owners are incomparably kind, gracious, fun, and just excellent in general. Enjoy your stay -- it's impossible not to!

    I was very impressed with this little B & B. I spent seven years in the hospitality industry and Bill and Sue know how to make you feel like you are at home. They take the time to make sure that all your needs are being met. If you have questions about local restaurants or sites they will point you in the right direction. The rooms are very modern and spacious. There is a pool on the upper level where we had a birthday party for 1 of our family members during our stay. Very charming and I would definitely return to this wonderful little B & B.

    Um Meia Tres war in allen Belangen überragend. Bei Bill und Sue fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Das reichhaltige Frühstück mit vielen Früchten war der perfekte Einstieg in einen aufregenden Tag in Rio. Bill und Sue kümmern sich fürsorglich um das Wohl der Gäste und haben viele wunderbare Tipps auf Lager. Wirklich extremst zu empfehlen.

    The first time we spent 3 days and the second time 2 days. I am a hotel manager of a five star boutique hotel and I only can recommend this small Bed and Breakfast. Clean, safe, spacious and comfortable, nicely designed - and now the best, the owners Bill and Sue care for you like you are their best friends visiting from abroad. They leave you all the space you want, but if you ask for the unusual Rio experience, they will take you to places you would never ever go by yourself. Have a trip to Bob's at the Favela, or go to the Farmers Market where Sue will show you her love for Reggae! It is great value for money, you feel taken care off and you are in a very nice environment. For what more can you ask. Highly recommendable.
