Casa Aprazível is a special place, with a family vibe that gives it a unique touch. The house, with its surreal look and airy spaces, lets you enjoy both the surreal landscape of Santa Teresa and find spaces of privacy and tranquility. The volunteer team is large and the tasks are simple, with rotating schedules in general; we have a breakfast service that is very complete. Taty, Bea, Mateus, Pablo are incredible people who greatly improve the experience, and Taz, the absolute princess and guardian of the pool, and everything you need to say that it is a very special place.

The accommodation is great. The house is cozy, comfortable, and makes you want to stay longer than planned. The managers are calm and friendly, the scheduled times are respected, and the volunteer team is helpful and responsible.
The breakfast is very good and the location in Santa Teresa helps a lot: there’s always something to do nearby
I felt warmly welcomed at the house, I would definitely come back!!! :)

La ca the hostel is a cozy place, with incredible views; it truly is a home, just as the hosts Gabriel and Tatti are lovely. Of course I extended more days and, in any case, I would return to this wonderful place. I met people from different countries and connected a lot with them. Thanks the hostel; now they are part of my family. 😊🤗🫶🫶❤️❤️ I love you all
Now they are like my family

An incredible spot, surrounded by nature, the neighborhood is divine and super touristy. I can't put into words the love I feel for the hostel. It's a family; they treated me exceptionally well from the first moment. Always willing to listen and offer the best. I'm leaving, but I know the doors are open for me to come back! I recommend to anyone who wants to get to know Rio. You'll find a flexible, loving, comfortable volunteer opportunity close to everything!

My stay at the hostel was very good, I felt at home from day one. Tati and Gabriel were always very pleasant and flexible with the house chores. The volunteers also welcomed me with a lot of affection and we formed a great team. The truth is I extended one more month because one month felt too short. I would 100% recommend coming to enjoy this experience!!
