The Residence

Eighty hectares of forest, with a private trail to the beach

Near Itapororoca beach in Trancoso, Bahia, Casa Terra Viva stands in 80 hectares of preserved forest. Seven suites sleep 14, with wood throughout and natural light in every room, including the bathrooms.

You arrive through the trees. Every tree on the property has been catalogued, along with the many species of monkeys and birds, and there is an apiary with several species of bee.

The house is built in timber, with a long table under an open roof and woven lamps, a large kitchen and verandas with hammocks looking over the lawn. The master suite is on the top floor, with a balcony facing the sea, and the other six suites have balconies onto the garden; one has three single beds that can be joined into a king.

The pool is on a wide deck at the edge of the forest, next to a thatched pavilion. There are a sauna with a window onto the trees, a spa, a beach tennis court, a TV room, a barbecue and a pizza oven. A private trail leads down to Itapororoca beach, one of the quietest in the area, and the staff can set up everything for a day on the beach. A caretaker, a cook, a kitchen assistant and a maid look after the house. Porto Seguro airport is about an hour and a half by car.
