Clean and minimalist, Mykonos Villa 2, located in Greece, is divided into two houses, making it ideal for families traveling together or groups of friends.

Those who walk past the entrance to Villa 15, will have no idea what a beautiful oasis awaits them beyond the simple blue and white façade. From the outside, the villa´s size is deceptive as you would not imagine it occupies a large part of a block of the historic center of Paraty. It has a sauna and a pool (a rarity in Paraty houses), making it the ideal place to enjoy a rest after a day of sightseeing or simply a lazy day at home.
You can also hire the villa´s very own schooner (at an extra cost) to explore the beautiful islands, bays and beaches around Paraty´s bay. When out on the boat, we suggest you use the villa´s beach facilities on Cotia island.
The experience of staying in a colonial house in the Historic Center of Paraty is, in itself, the perfect reason to visit this enchanting coastal town.

Another highlight is its small garden with a pool, which is a rarity in the city’s houses. These exclusive touches make this villa an exceptional retreat.

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”.
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.
