Serra Fluminense, Villa 09

A stay at Villa 9, a gorgeous retreat, surrounded by the Atlantic Rainforest in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, feels like stepping back in time.

The setting includes a fully renovated mansion, dating back to 1750, the height of Brazil’s imperial period. Located in the Coffee Valley along the Paraíba River (in the state of Rio de Janeiro), rare artefacts can be found in every corner of the villa – such as the largest handmade rug by artisan Concessa Colasso and paintings by Debret.

The property offers a wide range of activities for all ages and interests, making it easy to forget the world outside. Highlights include a golf course, a swimming pool, and hiking trails.

Surrounded by imperial palms and impeccably maintained, the estate is also home to an award-winning cachaça which is exclusively exported, but generously shared with guests. Meals are cooked using fresh, homegrown vegetables from the villa’s garden and the talented chef prepares authentic and delicious local dishes.

Serra Fluminense, Villa 11

The beauty of Rio de Janeiro’s beaches is undeniable, but the more discerning locals know that the Serra Fluminense hides spots just as special. Perched above a scenic valley in Paraíba do Sul, Villa 11 is the perfect example.

This retreat is a true oasis designed to help you forget the rush of everyday life. Located in a large, private condominium with only a few houses, it offers complete privacy.

The villa’s contemporary architecture blends effortlessly into the lush natural surroundings, creating a calm, harmonious atmosphere from the moment you arrive. In addition to the main house, which includes a cosy TV room and fireplace, the property also features small cabins scattered throughout the green landscape.

Villa 11 is filled with thoughtful details that enhance your experience of the stunning setting — from long, sun-soaked lunches beneath an olive tree, to starlit dinners with artisanal pizzas cooked over a traditional fogo de chão (outdoor fire pit).

Serra Grande, Villa 01

 There is no way to arrive at the Serra Grande house, a novelty in our collection, and not feel good when crossing the gate of this refuge right on the sand in a unique region of Bahia, the feeling is of being inside a protected, half-secret, totally magical place.

 Inside, you will find a sanctuary woven into the area’s wild beauty. Constructed entirely from bamboo and reclaimed wood, Villa 1 is spread across a large property connected by a charming walkway. This path leads you to five private bungalows and a thatched-roof oca, which is at the heart of the property. Here, you can unwind in a cosy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for lingering conversations, sipping pre-dinner drinks, or enjoying a game of cards with friends. 

 In front of the communal area, a large deck boasts a pool with breathtaking sea views, creating an idyllic setting to escape the outside world. A short stroll leads you to the beach, where a hidden viewpoint awaits, complete with sun loungers and an outdoor shower—ideal for stargazing under the vast night sky. The villa’s prime location on a secluded beach ensures absolute privacy. 

 Another highlight of this refuge is the space called Capelinha, which offers a range of health and wellness experiences, from invigorating yoga sessions to fitness training. Always smiling and attentive, the exceptional staff enhance your stay by preparing delicious meals, from freshly baked breakfast breads to beautifully presented paellas for lunch.
