The story of Villa 19, a house in the northern part of Ilhabela, is a special one. It is an old fisherman’s house that has been restored and expanded by the celebrated Italian-Brazilian architect Miguel Forte, without leaving its essence behind. There are, for example, the adobe walls and other details full of bossa that give the place its authenticity.
And how can we not mention its location? The refuge occupies a large plot of land right on the sand, inside a small condominium on Pinto beach. The breeze is constant and everything revolves around the view of the calm, crystal-clear sea. It’s the sea that steals the show during lunches under the almond tree, dips in the pool, relaxing moments on the terrace or cooking sessions in the gourmet area. To top it all off, how about a delightful lawn with a thousand trees?
Villa 19 is one of those cozy, uncomplicated hideaways, just what the most authentic beach houses call for. Airy, bright and with a number of cozy corners to immerse yourself in the climate of shade and fresh water.
