Serra Fluminense, Villa 10

Villa 10 takes you back in time to Brazil’s 19th century colonial past. This grand mansion is located on a farm that was an important sugar and coffee plantation from the 1800s onwards. The estate also has the second most important historic sugar mill in Brazil. Today, the farm breeds Mangalarga Marchador horses.

Every detail of this house is impressive and it is one of the most extraordinary rural properties in Brazil. It has been impeccably renovated, both externally and internally, and tastefully decorated with period furniture, carpets, rare porcelain objects and other period pieces.

The attractions are many and follow the tranquil rhythm of farm life: a swimming pool and barbecue area for sunny days, as well as a living room with a fireplace for cozier moments. All this on a plot of land surrounded by greenery as far as the eye can see in the Rio de Janeiro region of Paty do Alferes

Trancoso Villa 52

To begin with the light that invades every part of the house, it’s impossible to not feel enchanted by our Trancoso Villa. The garden has a striking presence from wherever you look and helps the villa to become a true refuge.

With a lot of “bossa” and an unpretentious decoration, the house resembles a bit of Mykonos and Ibiza but don’t let aside authentic elements of the Brazilian culture. Like the “taubilha” roof, a typical material from Bahia that seals the living room height. And if the idea is to bring together groups of friends, the atmosphere can become more breadth if you open the two doors that separates the bar and the kitchen.

As a view, the terrace and charming straw nets, an old wooden deck and the house main character: a swimming pool that embraces the green vegetation. At the surrounding, the 5 ensuite bedrooms with minimalist style and its gardens.

The location is also special: located inside the Altos de Trancoso condo, with all the security and exclusivity that your holidays require, but close enough to the city center (Quadrado) for those nights you feel like partying.
