Relais Solar

Tropical haven up in the historic hills of Santa Teresa, set in a lush vegetation, a century old home plays host to the colours, scents and flavours of a handcrafted Brazil. With 2000m2 of property in the heart of Santa Teresa, we are ready to share Brazil's creative possibilities with visitors from around the world. Our inviting new boutique hotel, Relais Solar, is a novel concept in hospitality services where guests can relax, savour, experiment, create and discover all that is authentically Brazilian. We also offer assistance in sharing inspired local tips or organizing creative tours and visits throughout Brazil's communities and ateliers. In addition to renting on a per room basis, we also offer the unique possibility of booking the entire house as a private colonial villa to sleep up to 13 people. It's perfect for families or small groups of friends or work colleagues looking for a private, tranquil retreat, with hotel services personalized to suit your specific needs. The house boasts a natural elegance, an organic blend of rustic colonial and contemporary inspiration. Decorated only with handmade furniture and objects, refined examples of Brazil's rich heritage, Relais Solar serves as a lively showroom for our national artists and artisans. It provides an ideal opportunity for foreign guests to mingle with local cariocas who share similar interests, with our multilingual staff ready to bridge the language gap when needed.
