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.

Serra Fluminense Villa 08

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”.
