One of the things that makes villa 8 so special is its location in the mountains near Rio. However, what really makes this such a special place is its history, which dates back to 1850 when it was built as the Main house on a coffee plantation.
Recently, the singer Lenny Kravitz fell in love with the house. He was on a music tour of Brazil and instead of spending one night at the house he ended up spending six months there, subsequently buying it and then restoring it to its former glory.
There are a number of historical ruins in the garden and inside Lenny has used his love for design to create a contemporary look which is full of character. There are pieces of art and furniture which remind you of Brazilian architects Sergio Rodrigues and Oscar Niemeyer as well as rare pieces of furniture such as a chair which belonged to Andy Warhol and Ingmar Bergman´s piano.
Villa 8 has everything you need to immerse in nature while surrounded by total peace and quiet. A highlight of the property is its vegetable garden which provides fresh vegetables for the duration of your stay.
As Lenny Karvitz said in an interview to Architectural Digest; “it is a place from which to disconnect and re-think life”.
A stay at Villa 9, a gorgeous retreat, surrounded by the Atlantic Rainforest in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, feels like stepping back in time.
The setting includes a fully renovated mansion, dating back to 1750, the height of Brazil’s imperial period. Located in the Coffee Valley along the Paraíba River (in the state of Rio de Janeiro), rare artefacts can be found in every corner of the villa – such as the largest handmade rug by artisan Concessa Colasso and paintings by Debret.
The property offers a wide range of activities for all ages and interests, making it easy to forget the world outside. Highlights include a golf course, a swimming pool, and hiking trails.
Surrounded by imperial palms and impeccably maintained, the estate is also home to an award-winning cachaça which is exclusively exported, but generously shared with guests. Meals are cooked using fresh, homegrown vegetables from the villa’s garden and the talented chef prepares authentic and delicious local dishes.
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
