The best of Rio — nature, culture and iconic beaches at your doorstep
From your sanctuary in Cosme Velho, Les Jardins de Rio is both a peaceful retreat and a living art gallery, where French elegance meets Brazilian soul. Nestled between lush rainforest, boho-chic culture and Rio's iconic coastline, the property offers an immersive escape in a calm, refined setting.
Each space has been thoughtfully curated with an artistic sensibility, combining hand-selected pieces, textures and natural materials that reflect the spirit of Rio, blending contemporary expression with tropical heritage. Here, aesthetics are not staged, but lived.
From the rooftop, guests enjoy a privileged view of the iconic Christ the Redeemer, rising above the surrounding mountains — a truly unforgettable perspective over Rio's lush landscape.
The house is also embraced by nature: with a bit of luck, you may spot monkeys, toucans and other tropical birds moving through the trees of the garden — a rare and authentic connection with the Atlantic Forest.
Around the house
Christ the Redeemer & Tijuca Forest
You are only a 10–15 minute walk from the base station of the Trem do Corcovado, which climbs to Christ the Redeemer. The surrounding Tijuca National Forest is within immediate reach too, offering jungle trails, waterfalls and immersive nature experiences just minutes away.
Santa Teresa
Les Jardins de Rio sits at the foot of the hills leading to Santa Teresa, one of Rio's most authentic and creative neighbourhoods: a boho-chic atmosphere of winding streets, colonial mansions, artist studios and hidden viewpoints over the city.
Lapa & historic centre
From Santa Teresa you flow naturally down to the vibrant historic centre and the iconic Lapa Arches — around 25–35 min in total if you combine the walk and the descent. A lively area filled with music, nightlife and the cultural heartbeat of Rio.
Humaitá
Just below the hills, a quiet and authentic residential area between Lagoa and Botafogo, known for its local cafés, bakeries and relaxed everyday atmosphere — a more discreet glimpse into local Rio life.
Jardim Botânico
One of Rio's most peaceful green escapes, with towering imperial palms, rare tropical species and shaded pathways in an Atlantic Forest atmosphere. Around the gardens and the Lagoa, several restaurants offer refined open-air dining with views over the water or surrounded by greenery — perfect for long lunches or sunset dinners. The neighbourhood is also home to some of Rio's most sophisticated shopping: curated boutiques, concept stores and lifestyle shops around Jardim Botânico and nearby Leblon, from Brazilian designer fashion to homeware, wellness brands and artisanal pieces — an exclusive, understated alternative to the city's larger malls.
Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas
A perfect setting for cycling, kayaking, rowing, paddle boats — or simply a sunset moment by the water.
