Trancoso, Villa 58

Inside a small condominium – there are only 11 houses – on Itapororoca beach in Trancoso, villa 58 is the best translation of life by the sea in Bahia.

Imagine a house that’s all open and airy, with that bossa that makes you dream of spending a season in the region’s Bahian hideaways. Everything takes place around a large wooden deck, where the pool, gourmet area and living room connect.

Between cozy armchairs, a games table and sofas that hug you, it’s hard to leave – whatever the time of day. But to get to the beach, all you have to do is walk down a short path immersed in greenery. Once there, a large almond tree acts as a sun hat, complementing your dip in the shade and fresh water of villa 58.

To get to the house, you have to leave your car at the gate and choose between walking a few meters or taking a golf cart, another of the property’s charms.
