Casa Mango Mango - Rio de Janeiro - Reviews & Contact Details

Well, my three days turned into nearly three weeks in one of the best cities on the planet - Rio de Janeiro. The area of Santa Tereza, where the hostel is located is full of character, great restaurants, crafts stores and sightseeing. Fabulous for photographers addicted to clicking, like myself. The hostel is clean and tidy, the rooms are huge, nice bathrooms, and cute ambiance. Definitively I'll be back again!

Me and my boyfriend decided going to Rio to chill out a little bit and see some brazilian friends there. We stayed at Casa Mango mango and loved ittt!!! Firstly, the location is awesome. Santa Teresa is definetely a single spot in Rio. Really typical. The acommodation couldn´t be better. Really cosy and cute enviroment. The owner, Julie, is a lovely lady and helped us a lot with good tips about the city. There are a great pool where you can have dinner or relax from the crowd of Rio de Janeiro. Excellent! I would stay there again.

Casa MangoMango is one of the few places to stay in Rio where you can relax in a magnificent colonial, tropical setting and yet be right next to the best nightlife and activities this marvellous city offers. Set in a quaint cobbled street in the old part of the city, Santa Teresa, Casa MangoMango offers easy access both to beaches, forest and city. The house is on the the hundred-year old tram route, only ten minutes from the city centre. The house itself is a huge colonial mansion, guarded by two magnificentbi-centenarian mango trees. Hence the name, Casa MangoMango! Resplendent with original features, the house has been restored and decorated in funky, upbeat designs to cater for every taste. And outside, in the lovely, tropical gardens, there’s a cool pool too! Built by Julia Lopes, a Brazilian novelist, journalist, playwright, and lecturer, the house hosted many a sarau for the literati of the early 20th century.
