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.
Clean and minimalist, Mykonos Villa 2, located in Greece, is divided into two houses, making it ideal for families traveling together or groups of friends. The design combines large, light spaces with touches of color and many outdoor environments. Between two special beaches and at the same time close to the center of Mykonos is perfect for those who want to be close to the movement, but in a more reserved area.
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.
Visiting Paraty is a cultural treat and staying in Villa 12 makes the cultural experience even more special. The villa is ideally located near Paraty’s main pier and within walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. The villa’s owner is co-founder of one of Brazil’s top interior design agencies and he has ensured it is tastefully decorated with exquisite antique furniture and art.
This elegant villa has ample bedrooms, an open plan kitchen and bright rooms overlooking an internal garden with a pool…this is a rarity in Paraty houses. It is an oasis from which to escape the world and recharge your batteries.
Villa 14 is a mere 10 minutes by boat from Paraty’s historic centre. It is located on its own private beach and surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest gardens with stunning views out to the bay of Paraty. The villa is Portuguese colonial in style and tastefully blends modern furniture with antique art.
The villa oozes charm and is an idyllic hideaway from which to immerse yourself in nature. The views out to the bay of Paraty and the surrounding rainforest are simply stunning and if you are feeling active you can swim in the emerald green sea or simply take a walk through the rainforest.
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.
If you wish to bring a group of friends to a stunning location in a beautiful house, we suggest combining Villa 11 and 14.
One side of the property has a overlooking the beautiful bay and the other side of the property has a gorgeous colonial style farmhouse with tasteful interiors boasting gorgeous Brazilian art and furniture.
Access to the villas can only be made by boat across the beautiful emerald green waters of Paraty´s bay. Once at this paradise location, we suggest you enjoy everything it has to offer, from lazy days on the beach to walks through the villa´s stunning tropical gardens (which boast the ruins of an Imperial Portuguese fort), as well as making use of the sauna. Pizza nights and barbecues in the outdoor eating area are a must.
Those who know Paraty will understand how special it is to stay in the historic center. After spending a day exploring the magical coastline, it is ideal to come back to a home near the shops and restaurants of this quaint colonial town. Villa 16 offers exactly this option.
This beautifully restored colonial house is situated in the middle of Largo do Rosário. The original façade and walls of the house have been preserved while the interiors have been given a more contemporary touch which makes this a charming, cosy house.
There are open plan sitting room and kitchen and a winter garden where you can enjoy lazy breakfasts before heading out on boat trips. The villa´s landlady owns a beautiful “schooner” boat which can be rented at an extra cost. Villa 16 is the perfect place to come back to after a day out at sea and really make the most of the best of Paraty.
