The view is amazing, the room has a warm little pool in the inside, the staff was really great and the restaurant is amazing.

It has no parking lot, so for me that was travelling with my private car was a everyday concern to find available parking in the street.

Property is beautiful and well maintained. The views are wonderful. Breakfast is diverse and delicious. The restaurant overall was very good. The restaurant staff wonderful. The front of house staff varied. Some speak English well, others barely. I had booked the main suite (master suite) online. They claimed I have booked one of the junior suites, which are nice, but not what I was expecting. There we three suites advertised, I picked the most expensive one, assuming it was the main suite. But no. Very strange and no apologies. If you want the main suite, you have to ask and book the master suite and receive confirmation with it mentioned in the email, otherwise you are out of luck.

Wrong suite advertised and booked.

Wonderful staff and location. All the staff could not have been better and more helpful. The view of the town was stunning.

I am afraid the restaurant was not very good. I went for dinner the first night, and the food quality was average at best and expensive. Steak Tartare, my favourite meal, was bland and not worth having. The breakfast was OK, but there were little changes each day to what was on offer, which was a shame. Again staff were excellent and helpful.

Vila d'este is a beautiful pousada with stunning views of Búzios. We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon and stayed in the executive suite with jacuzzi on the balcony. It was absolutely incredible. The views over the bay were spectacular. This room has a private staircase outside with access to the main street. This was very convenient and it feels very private. The breakfast was very good with a great selection. We had dinner in the hotel on the first evening, the wine and steak were excellent. The staff were very professional, attentive and had excellent English which was a major bonus for me. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Vila d'este is more expensive than some of the other pousada's in the area and the dinner was more expensive than what you would pay at the local restaurants but this does also have the benefit of the pousada being more exclusive.

A great location, elevated from the beach road, giving excellent views from breakfast, and the pool area. Beautifully designed, and finished throughout. The staff were outstanding, friendly and professional.

The breakfast was disappointing in respect of the hot service, I requested poached eggs the first morning and received a single egg balanced on a piece of bread no larger than the egg. I would have expected/preferred, a place of this size to have a small area set aside for a gym.

Beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms and excellent facilities. One of the best locations in Buzios. The pool decks are amazing with fantastic views! Moreover, the service and people who work here make this exceptional! They are super friendly and very customer focused..Hope to be back!

The facilities were awesome, the breakfast was fantastic and specifically the views were gorgeous.

The room that I was in is very average. The double room is very simple and the tv is the size of an iPhone plus.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous boutique hotel. Definitely recommend choosing the room with the private jacuzzi - worth the additional cost. Perfect location if you want ease of walking to the town for restaurants or shopping. This hotel was the highlight of my Brazil Trip, even after staying at Fasano and Copacabana Palace in Rio. Already planning my trip back. My only complaint is not staying longer!!

View, location and breakfast are amazing! We got a room with the Jacuzzi and the water temperature was amazing, from the Jacuzzi you have an amazing view.

Be careful with the mosquitoes. We have to kill all of them before going to bed. Then just make sure to keep the door closed and AC on. It's not a problem from the hotel itself, all that Buzios area is like that. Despite the view of the jacuzzi is amazing, there was a lack of privacy, I was with my wife enjoying the jacuzzi and some hotel guests that was using the main hotel pool (that also has an amazing view) could see our balcony and they kept staring us, that made my wife feel uncomfortable.

The location is excellent and the view, fantastic. Photos of the facilities are faithful. Nice place for a couple that doesn’t want to be disturbed. Walking and climbing stairs are part of the place’s charm.

The staff, although efficient, doesn’t promote a cozy environment and relationship. The absence of some little care, like an extra beach towel, free water or coffee in the room would make a difference. The lack of a parking lot is another issue.
