About La Maison

Close Panel

La Maison is a French-owned guest house located in the forested Gavea district overlooking Rio, about 5 - 10- minutes by taxi from the beaches and restaurants. There are 5 individually decorated ensuite rooms representing themes from different continents. All rooms have ceiling fans or air conditioning, and either a terrace or a patio. There is no TV or minibar in the rooms to encourage guests to relax, escape from the outside world and spend more time in the spacious lounge, dining room, by the outdoor pool or in the garden. La Maison also has a small sauna. Breakfast only is served, but snacks are available on request. Adventurous guests can visit the market accompanied by a member of staff and cook a meal together accompanied by a nice wine!

Pricing guidelines for Brazil

Open Panel

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £700 to £900 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Brazil combines with Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands due to scheduled flights, so, for example, it makes a good beach stop after Peru or Ecuador.

For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
