The Property
A century of history,
alive in every room.
Sonho do Papagaio is a historic pink colonial mansion hidden in the hills of Santa Teresa — one of Rio de Janeiro's most beloved and bohemian neighbourhoods.
Surrounded by tropical gardens and overlooking the dramatic downtown skyline, the property offers a peaceful, almost secret retreat just minutes from Lapa, the Escadaria Selarón, and the city's main cultural attractions.
Every room preserves the charm and scale of old Rio — high ceilings, original tilework, ornate wooden shutters — while providing the comfort, privacy, and service guests expect today.
"Not a hotel. Not just a house. Something rarer — a home with a story."
