Discover Búzios

The Soul of Brazil's Coastline

Once a quiet fishing village, Búzios is now one of the best-loved beach towns in Brazil. It is famous for its golden beaches, its green hills, and its nightlife. Walk the cobblestone streets of Rua das Pedras. Eat fresh seafood in town, or on the sand at one of more than 20 beaches. Kayak or snorkel in the clear water, often next to the turtles. Nature, Brazilian warmth, and something to do every day. That is Búzios.

Your Home Away From Home

Welcoming You to Casalita

Casalita sits at the highest point in town, with the best view in Búzios. The house is inside a nature reserve, and it was built to fit the nature around it. As your hosts, we've poured our love for Búzios into every detail. It is a warm and inviting space where the outdoors flows indoors, in every room.

Casalita is more than a vacation rental. It's our home and a reflection of the Búzios lifestyle. There is an infinity pool, hammocks, a sauna, a game room, and big rooms, all looking out over the bay. Many guests find it hard to leave. Coming back to the house is as good as going out.

We've poured our hearts into Casalita, and we are glad to share it, and Búzios, with you. Whether you're here to unwind, explore, connect with loved ones, or even work, we hope Casalita becomes your home away from home.
