Villa 10 takes you back in time to Brazil´s 19th century colonial past. This grand mansion is located on a farm which was an important sugar and coffee plantation from the 1800s onwards. The property also has the second most important historical sugar mill in Brazil. Nowadays 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 decorated tastefully with period furniture, carpets, rare porcelain objects and other period pieces.
There are a range of activities which match the relaxed nature of this farm: pool, hot tub, sauna, barbecue area, games room, and a cosy sitting room with a fireplace. There is of course the option to go horse riding. This is a great way to explore the area which is surrounded by lush green vegetation so typical of the Paty do Alferes carioca region.
This villa is located on Itapororoca beach which is hidden away from Trancoso´s busy Quadrado (central square), making it a perfect peaceful haven. The sea is calm – ideal for leisurely tropical beach walks.

The villa is designed to connect with nature with its large doors and glass windows which open on to a lush tropical garden. Its location next to the sea ensures the house and gardens are freshened by the gentle sea breeze. The villa´s sophisticated beach like décor consists of shades of white interspersed with colour and locally crafted art objects.
This is the ideal property for gathering a group of friends. It has 7 en suite bedrooms – three of these are stand-alone bungalows for those who like total privacy. It also has a spacious drawing room and a separate TV room.
