Ceará, Villa 05

Villa 5 is one of our rare finds. For starters its location is very special; it is located on a large property in Icaraizinho de Amontada, a beautiful cove between Fortaleza and Jericoacoara. It has good wind for kitesurfers but it also has a more protected area for those who enjoy swimming in calm sea.

There are seven en-suite bedrooms spread across three bungalows, a swimming pool and a bar area near the beach and beach volleyball court. It is more than just a house, it is like a small farm next to the sea. The owners breed a variety of animals including peacocks, tortoises, rabbits and chickens which roam freely around the property.

Children love it here…as well as the animals there is a play park and a lake where you can fish for Tilapia. At low tide children can enjoy the natural sea pools which form in front of the house.

The village of Icaraizinho de Amontada is charming and has an array of restaurants and shops.
