Hotel e Resort Villas de Trancoso

We have been coming to Brazil for a long time, and this was our first visit to Bahia side / Trancoso. Our close friends have been telling us to visit this part for a long time and we finally were able to do this all the way from New York celebrating Christmas 2024 week at Villas de Trancoso. What a magical place once you get here. it is about the journey and the willingness to come to such a location. Now I understand why all my friends from Brazil rave about this place. Let me start by thanking the team at Villas de Trancoso led by Maria and her husband. She was very helpful months in advance when we were planning our trip and connected me with Renata at reception and concierge, who was just unbelievably gracious and helpful with her time, organizing our trip and itinerary Gabriel and her team was so great for all the breakfast and Christmas Eve service by the pool. Attention to detail was spectacular.. special thank you to the chefs. The food was just amazing. Lastly, Lisa and the entire team at the beach made this so much fun hanging out during the day by the ocean. Service, how friendly they were how attentive they were was truly memorable. We look forward to being back with our family to this magical location, and I suggest for anyone who is willing to make the journey to Brazil fly to São Paulo take another flight to Porto Seguro and come to Villas de Trancoso. You will not be disappointed. Thank you team Villas de Trancoso. We already miss you.

Villas de Trancoso was exceptional! The beachfront location with pristine sands and clear waters made our stay unforgettable. The accommodations were luxurious, and the staff’s outstanding service truly stood out—they were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We enjoyed the delicious food, the serene pool, and relaxing spa services. This resort is a perfect choice for families looking for a memorable getaway. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

My husband and I traveled here with our daughters, ages 8 and 3, for some mellowing out after busier legs of our trip in Rio and Salvador. This place is out of the way but absolutely worth it. The beach is stunning, amazingly uncrowded, and swimmable, and the resort maintains an impeccable setup of beach chairs/toys and food service. The resort is flawlessly run: it doesn't have huge capacity so it doesn't feel crowded, the restaurant (especially buffet breakfast) is lovely. Most of all, the team of folks who manage and care for this resort are so friendly and helpful, including with recommendations and assistance for things to do in Trancoso, a ridiculously charming little beach town. We were especially grateful to Gabi, Lainhe, Renata, Tom, Luis, Aquile (probably spelling that wrong) and many others. They were so attentive and thoughtful, they did things like remember our (picky) children's food preferences from one day to the next, and pack us a little picnic when we decided to take a longer walk down the beach. Our accommodations were also just right - a 2-bedroom villa with both a queen and twin bed in the kids' room, plus a porch with ample seating and two hammocks! This place is a true gem - would love to return here some day, and could not recommend it more highly!

We love Villas de Trancoso. It is one of our favorite places in the world. A beautiful and intimate setting where we can always reconnect as a couple, relax, and get pampered by the Villas' staff. Rating this place with 5 stars doesn't seem enough. We'll be back soon :)

We knew that Trancoso would be unforgettable. We travel worldwide for our event productions or vacations. We love feeling at home when we want to unwind. Villas de Trancoso is a unique place because everything there is wholesome and simple in the grand tradition of high-quality guest houses. In a world where everything is complicated and overrated, living a few days like at home in the midst of nature and genuinely kind people is truly admirable. Additionally, the service and cuisine are exceptional! Kudos to my friends at Villas de Trancoso ❤️

Villas de Trancoso is a beautiful and peaceful place to stay in Trancoso. Our villa was clean and very well-appointed with luxurious beds and bathrooms. The pool, the beach and the gorgeous beach bar were truly amazing. Best breakfasts ever by a very talented chef! Everyone who works here clearly loves what they do, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay.
