Former home and studio of Brazilian artist Martha Meyer, the house was built in the 1980s by the famous ceramicist Calazans, strongly influenced by his love for the Greek islands in the Mediterranean, with their simple houses seemingly bathed in constant sunlight. This bright and extremely welcoming house has been the creative studio of Wilbert Das and his team of artisans in recent years.
A tiered pool with rare onyx tiles and a large open kitchen, lounges and indoor/outdoor dining areas and a rooftop grill.
Nature plays an important role in the charm of the House with a flower garden in the central courtyard where tropical birds love to nest, making colorful entries and exits throughout the day and filling the air with song. The suites are reached by walking through this tropical garden and each is accessed directly from the courtyard, offering privacy and convenience. The house has a cheerful style that celebrates Bahian creativity with four tapestries and a screen print by renowned artist Kennedy Bahia, who gained fame working in the 70s and 80s.
5-star services, iconic beach lounge and innovative organic Spa guarantee the perfect vacation.

Trancoso is a quiet, charming, preserved village, with a young and globalized population. Founded at the beginning of Portuguese colonization by the Jesuits as an indigenous village for the catechization of the Indians with the name of São João dos Indios. A few years ago, it went from being the rustic and isolated village, discovered by hippes in the 70s, to becoming a tourist destination for hipsters and VIPs. Calm is still in the air, but now mixed with the small-town feel.
