Perched on a cliff at the beginning of the south side of Ilhabela, near Ilha das Cabras, Villa 18 is a house designed down to the smallest detail to make the most of the privilege of spending a season in a destination surrounded by the sea. After all, from sunny mornings to star-filled nights, the view is stunning.
And to enjoy it, there’s no shortage of rooms full of bossa and luminosity. First, there’s the large, airy living room, fully integrated with the kitchen. Then there’s a living area with a swimming pool and sauna, all lulled by the breeze.
Further down, a delightful deck and pier serve as a base for days spent in total peace and quiet. It’s worth spending hours and hours leisurely between SUP rides, relaxing on the nautical mat or diving at sunset. When night falls, how about celebrating the season with your loved ones over a drink by the open fire?
What’s more, it’s possible to arrange a direct boat transfer from São Sebastião, thus avoiding any ferry traffic.
Having the sea as a constant companion – and keeping a close eye on all its changes – is one of the reasons why Villa 12 is such a special refuge. Day after day, it frames the scenery of this house built on top of a hill on Iporanga beach, one of the most exclusive condominiums on the São Paulo coast, precisely to make the most of outdoor moments.
Here, the days pass unhurriedly between dips in the pool, naps in the hammock and delicious drinks swaying in the breeze. With spacious suites, villa 12 has everything you need for a season in the shade.
Starting with its location on the golf course of the Laranjeiras condominium – one of the most exclusive in all of Brazil – Villa 13 is one of the special finds in our portfolio.
Facing the greens, the refuge-like property conveys that feeling of spaciousness that is so welcome when the idea is to get away from it all.
From the design to the Bossa decor, every detail has been inspired by Bali. Hence the thatched roof with high ceilings, the bridge that connects the lawn to the veranda, the panneaux scattered in every corner, and the indirect lighting that makes everything cozier.
Compact, Villa 13 is a house designed to bring the family together in total tranquility, whether it’s for leisurely breakfasts overlooking the flowers in the garden, or afternoons by the pool.
To top it all off, the condominium is a chapter in itself: super secure, nestled in the middle of the Atlantic Forest mountains, with its own private paradise beaches. The structure also includes a golf course, a club with a full gym, a marina for boats and a playroom.
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.
You only need a few minutes in Villa 11 before you realise why the owners of this house fell in love with Paraty back in the 1960s.
The villa has three suites and is located 10 minutes by boat from Paraty’s historic centre. It is surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest and a magical garden, with an abundance of native trees and tropical flowers. There are two hiking trails within the property which take in the ruins of an imperial fort with its original canons and a 360 degree view of the bay of Paraty.
The villa’s landlord owns the well known Pousada do Sandi in Paraty’s historical centre. The internal décor is tasteful and stylish with floor to ceiling windows which show off the spectacular tropical rainforest and emerald green sea.
Should you wish to visit some of the many tropical islands in the area or gather mussels at the mussel farm in Pouso da Cajaiba, there are two speedboats available to hire.
