The experience

Wake up in the garden, fall asleep by the lit pool.

The villa stands at Araçaípe Beach, in Arraial d'Ajuda. The beach is under five minutes on foot, and the house has everything a group needs to stay put: a private pool, a deck, hammocks, a long table under woven pendant lamps.

There are two independent houses, rented together. The decor includes art pieces the host brought back from her travels, and housekeeping is daily.

Pool and outdoor areas

The pool is all yours.

It sits at the centre of the villa, surrounded by a wooden deck, sun loungers and hammocks. The living room and veranda open onto it. By day the water warms in the sun. At night it lights up.

“I loved that pool, it gets warm from so much sun.”
