Casa Mosquito offers a quiet hideaway on the slopes of Ipanema, within walking distance of the world-famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. It has only nine spacious, bright suites decorated in a mix of colonial, modern, and contemporary styles.  All rooms have balconies with spectacular Rio de Janeiro views of Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Twin Peaks, and the coast. While the small, intimate hotel is certainly charming, it lacks some of the amenities common to larger properties, and has neither a gym nor 24-hour room service.
