"Mix together a cocktail of Bahia's relaxed exotic culture and tranquil seclusion, add welcoming guest villas and blend with spacious tropical gardens and a beautiful beach. The result? A delicious stay at Villas de Trancoso. Set just a mile from the hip yet historic village of Trancoso, 500 miles south of Salvador, these suites and 1- and 2-bedroom guest villas are like homes within an intimate hotel with attention to detail notable everywhere.Picture elegant native décor and a real sense of personal service to plan a myriad of trips and activities. Lounge by the hotel's white marbled pool or ask the accomplished chef to cook up something delicious from the kitchen. Its private terraced beach area lies beneath shady palms where you'll find the bar, a uniquely crafted wooden gym and waterfall showers. The sun shines more often in these parts and at full moon a stroll along the shore is unforgettable. Highs Exclusive unspoilt beach location with miles of coast to exploreOnly a mile from Trancoso's Quadrado with its laid-back restaurants and funky boutiques Charming owners and staff who can help to plan your activitiesSpacious and comfortable - you could easily spend days just relaxing at the hotelPrivate setting amidst tropical gardensIdeal for honeymooners, groups of friends or families (up to 29 people), who can request exclusive use of the whole place Lows The secluded spot means the nearest nightlife is a bumpy but short taxi ride away in Trancoso During or after heavy rains, roads can be muddyGetting there requires more than just one flight, but is worth the effortThe Suites lack the privacy of the villas" - Aidan Forestier-Walker
