The Santa Semente Guesthouse is safe, clean, exciting, and affordable. We're located near the great nightlife of Lapa and the heights of the Christ the Redeemer statue. You'll find us in the beautiful, bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa in Rio de Janeiro. We specialize in foreigners who come to Rio as exchange students or to do volunteer work, but we also host people who come to Rio just to have a good time. Whether you want to party in Lapa, relax in Santa Teresa, or go to the beaches of Copacobana, our hostel is the one for you. Santa Semente is opening for carnaval 2014. Start early bookings today.
