Accomodations in Trancoso, Bahia

Welcome to our website. You will find on these pages information about Trancoso, our Villas, our weather and our beaches. Also photos that should help to better acquaint you with our area.

My journey began in 2001. A search for a romantic beach destination to unwind and relax. That search led me to a remote destination on the coast of Brazil that was soon to become my home. What I found were beautiful beaches, a perfect year round climate and a people and culture that resonated to the world of music and dance. I also found a village that had become a melting pot of diverse cultures while maintaining its Brazilian heritage. Today Trancoso has gained recognition for its charming village and festive party atmosphere but many of us are here to enjoy the privacy and serenity of one of the most beautiful spots on earth.

In 2001 we acquired a secluded private beach property just 1.5 kilometers from the historic “Quadrado” of Trancoso and the work began. We opened our doors in 2003. Since our opening day we have had a focus on ways to improve our customer experience. In 2012 we were selected as one of the top 5 hotels in Brazil for Trip Advisors Travelers Choice Awards in two designations, “Relaxation/Spa” and “Service”.

Today our guests come from around the world. Some come seeking a vacation retreat for a romantic honeymoon or wedding. Others come to unwind from the hectic pace of their everyday lives. Whatever you seek, we welcome you to come, smile, relax and share in the beauty of our village, beaches and our creation.
