Right in the heart of Buzios - a 5-minute walk from the main street with its restaurants, lively bars, clubs and chic boutiques
Not located slap bang on the beach, but almost none of the hotels in Buzios are - raised up looking out across the bay
Has one of the largest spas out of all the boutique hotels in Buzios
Minimalist Mediterranean style decor and a range of room categories
Pousada Casas Brancas, set in the hills above the Bay of Buzios, is the perfect romantic retreat with its alluring Mediterranean architecture and a distinct warm and cozy feel throughout. Buzios is renowned for its rustic charm, colonial architecture and sophisticated boutiques and restaurants.
Pousada Casas Brancas has 32 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, all have been individually decorated with modern amenities, elegant furniture and local artwork. Some have fabulous stand-alone bath tubs and all afford stunning views of the bay. The hotel has a delightful open air restaurant that serves a fusion of Brazilian and Mediterranean cuisines and a bar to enjoy those refreshing caipirinhas at sunset. There is also a swimming pool and stylish lounge.
For the ultimate in relaxation, Casas Brancas has its very own spa offering a range of beauty treatments and massages. But if you're looking for something a little more active, why not take a boat trip to neighboring islands, rent a buggy and race along the beach, go mountain biking or try out one of the many watersports on offer.
