Sitio Refúgio do Capitão

A magical place hides among the mountains of the Serra Fluminense. A House in the Middle of the Valley, Surrounded by Trees, Flowers and Birds, where Time Passes Slowly. A haven to relax and recharge.

The small river Ribeirão do Capitão passes by our rustic site, Refúgio do Capitão, after which it is named. We are located about 40 minutes from Nova Friburgo – RJ – in a quiet wooded valley.

Whether you’re a couple, a digital nomad or just coming to enjoy the peace and quiet, we have room for everyone.

What do we offer you?

  • Swimming pool
  • Pool table
  • Observation tower
  • Barbecues
  • Jacuzzi in the captain’s suite
  • Lots of greenery and nature
  • A small waterfall
  • High-speed internet

What we don't offer:

We have no television, radio or newspapers on the premises and no mobile phone network in the entire valley. But we do have high-speed internet via satellite (Starlink).

At the moment, we don’t offer a restaurant service either, which means you’ll have to take care of the food supplies yourself. Of course, you can use the kitchen at any time.
