Right in the heart of Buzios - a 5-minute walk from the main street with its restaurants, lively bars, clubs and chic boutiques
Enjoy breakfast on the alfresco terrace looking out to sea

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 cosy 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 neighbouring islands, rent a buggy and race along the beach, go mountain biking or try out one of the many watersports on offer.
