Brava

" I had a great stay at Forno Guesthouse. The room was clean and modern. The view from my pool view room was spectacular. I have stayed at several places in Buzios over the past two years. So far, for me, Forno is the best location, and I plan to stay there again because of the scenery, its proximity to the beach and City Center, and the property manager, Filipe, who understands how important customer satisfaction is. As a New Yorker, customer satisfaction is very important to me. Filipe, thank...

Top Brava Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mirante do Forte

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family have a good time in this hotel."

Insolito Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at Insólito was an unforgettable experience. The property offers absolutely stunning views — waking up to the serene beauty of Praia de Ferradura is something special. The location itself is perfect: quiet and peaceful, ideal for relaxation, and just a quick 5‑minute Uber ride into town. The staff truly elevate the stay. Everyone was warm and attentive, and a special mention goes to Tiago at the restaurant and Rodrigo who made the best coffee in the morning. This hotel is the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. Highly recommended ."

Passagem Concept Hotel e Spa

8/10 Good

"Location of the hotel was excellent, easy access to the square with many dining options, beach access was a nice 20 minute walk, once at the beach area there were many shops ranging from food, drug stores and food options. The hotel breakfasts were good, go early as the hot portions went fast but you could as for more. The hotel did not have an iron or ironing board or a dresser to put clothes in, lived out of a suit case, over all we really enjoyed our stay."
