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.
