On 16th-century caravels from the Age of Discovery, the Gávea (crow's nest) was a platform located at the highest point of the mast. From there, the pilot could observe the path ahead and was the first to sight new lands. Discovery began from that privileged vantage point.
At Casa da Gávea, situated at the highest point of a mountain, we share that same sensation.
Above the house, there is only the vastness of the blue sky; at its feet and along the horizon lie all the wonders that only the city of Rio de Janeiro can offer.
From there, looking East, we see the shores of Leblon and Ipanema. To the North, the lush slopes of the forest and Christ the Redeemerone of the city's greatest icons and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. To the West, the magnificent Tijuca Forest (the largest urban forest in the world) and Alto da Boa Vista. To the South, the Dois Irmãos hill, another city symbol of exuberant beauty.
Contact with the region's biodiversity is present in every detailwhether enjoying the fabulous pool and gazebo with its magnificent view, or looking through the large windows where you can spot exotic birds from the surrounding woods.
Casa da Gávea was designed by the famous architect Hélio Pellegrino, who masterfully harmonized the surrounding nature with spacious and comfortable areas. This is evident in the sun-drenched halls integrated with the gardens and poolwhere your events take center stage and guests feel like part of the landscapeas well as in the wonderful suites, where comfort, refinement, and privacy are absolute.

To preserve the local history, it was constructed using elements from the Monroe Palace, which formerly housed the Brazilian Federal Senate, ensuring an aristocratic atmosphere and connecting past and present. The main entrance, the grand staircase, and a charming fountain were brought from that palace to welcome residents and guests.
