With a perfect balance of rustic Brazilian style and contemporary European design, the delicate taste and attention to detail here is remarkable.

The house has a large living room, three air-conditioned bedrooms, two decks with wonderful sea views and three separate outdoor seating areas.

A luxury villa to rent in Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil

Trancoso, in the state of Bahia on Brazil’s east coast, is the kind of laidback, bohemian, beachside paradise that we absolutely love.

This gem of a house is privately situated down one of the leafy lanes behind the town’s famous Quadrado, the UNESCO-listed main square where everybody goes to see and be seen. In the afternoons, people play football there or perform capoeira, while at night the historic square sparkles with fairy lights and the tables fill with friends and families sharing food and cocktails.

A chic, bohemian house, Casa Quadrado is beautifully decorated in a cool and spacious style mixing local materials with specially commissioned pieces of furniture by artists and craftsmen. With a lovely infinity pool, the great outdoor/indoor living area allows the cooling breezes to enter – wonderful in the very hot season.

The house is fully staffed and cooking can be arranged, though it’s just as easy to walk to the restaurants on the beach or around the Quadrado.

A luxury villa to rent in Trancoso, Brazil

A hugely popular Trancoso beach house made up of several quaint cottages, set on a quiet stretch of beach but still close enough to town and the famous Quadrado.

This is a quintessential Trancoso beach house, set 100m from Itaquena Beach on the gated domaine of Itapororoca and only a short drive from Trancoso village and the famous Quadrado.

The light and airy house, featured in many international design magazines, is made up of several cottages and has masses of outdoor living areas along with a big heated pool.

The garden gate opens onto the large, sandy beach of Itaquena; few tourists reach this far along the beach, which makes it quite secluded and private.

24-hour security makes the house a perfect option for guests wanting total privacy but be near enough to the lively Trancoso scene.

The house has a team of trained staff and includes a very good cook.
