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.
Villa 10 takes you back in time to Brazil’s 19th century colonial past. This grand mansion is located on a farm that was an important sugar and coffee plantation from the 1800s onwards. The estate also has the second most important historic sugar mill in Brazil. Today, 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 tastefully decorated with period furniture, carpets, rare porcelain objects and other period pieces.

The inspiration for the construction of this villa was a rare vinyl by Dorival Caymmi – one of Brazil’s most influential singer-songwriters – recorded in the 1950s and cherished by the owners.
