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.

My stay at Vila de Trancoso was incredible. The chalets were very comfortable, and the decor had a really cool beach vibe. The inn's garden is amazing, full of different trees and lots of animals, like saruês and birds. Waking up to these sounds every day was really good. A well-trained gardening team works around the clock in this garden. The garden gives the villas privacy and also has plenty of shade, refreshing the entire guesthouse. A spectacle in itself!
The breakfast deserves to be highlighted, it was varied and delicious. The entire team, from reception to the kitchen, was super helpful and friendly. The food in the kitchen was very good, with different flavors.
I recommend Vila de Trancoso to anyone who wants a comfortable and relaxing stay. The combination of comfort, nature and special service makes this guesthouse a special place in Trancoso, Bahia.

Excellent small resort, very well located, beautiful gardens and 100% eco construction, excellent service and unlimited friendliness of the staff. Breakfast with everything of excellent quality and a very varied offering, on the beach away from the hustle and bustle. The only thing missing is a small gym in a cool place, the current one is at the beach club on the beach, normally too hot to train. The whole place is very quiet, no loud music, no noise. The team is all super helpful and attentive.

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 ❤️

For the second time this year I trusted Villas de Trancoso with my family vacation and once again the wonderful experience that the resort and staffed provided was beyond I could had imagined. My family stayed at the two bedrooms suite for 4 days. From the moment I made reservations, the staff provided arrangement options for transportation from and to the airport and to downtown. This is undoubtedly a 5 star resort, with prime location at the coast, white sand beaches and blue warm Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is lush and tranquil, the rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable. The staff is the most friendly and attentive I had ever experienced, with no exception. The food is amazing and fresh, prepared by excellent cooks. I can’t wait to return to Villas. Highly recommend.

Our family stayed at 2 Bedrooms Moon Villa for 5 days. We were treated like a royal at this hotel, greeted with fresh coconut water upon arrival.
Before arriving, I requested the hotel to decorate the villa for my husband's birthday, and they exceeded expectations! The room looked absolutely wonderful and romantic. 🎉
The cleaners here are amazing! They not only clean our villa but also help set up the mosquito net in our bedroom. Such thoughtful service!
We ate at the restaurant every day for dinner, and the food was absolutely delicious! We tried the Moqueca seafood and Praia on the first night, Brazilian steak on the second night, whole fish oven-baked on the third night, and seafood paella on the fourth night. Every dish was cooked perfectly. Chef Tom was incredibly helpful and even prepared special dishes for our kids. Such a wonderful dining experience!
Breakfast at this hotel, is to die for with so many varieties of Brazilian breakfast and many varieties of tropical foods. Gabi and Williams always help us during our breakfast. The service here was 10 out of 10.
The hotel is conveniently located just 10 minutes from TerraVista Golf, which was perfect for us. While the kids enjoyed swimming and various activities at the resort, my husband and I had a great time golfing. Such a wonderful balance of relaxation and fun activities for everyone!
I highly recommend this exclusive, secluded & luxury resort for a perfect blend of romance, family fun, and golfing adventures.

Villas Do Trancoso is much more than we expected. Although the natural beauty in this magical bay town is exuberant, we know that it is very difficult to achieve comfort. The team of people who work there make this total comfort a reality since nothing is ever missing; A dream garden that one must cross to have breakfast or go to and from the beach where the Staff stands out for its cordiality, for the absence necessary to achieve intimacy and the presence always determined to provide service. Its abundant gourmet dishes offer a varied menu with seafood offerings that reach from the restaurant to the beach. A unique combination of the highest hospitality where every corner, every detail, is carefully thought out to make the guest feel better. Separate paragraph for breakfast that includes Bahian delicacies and dozens of prepared sandwiches and options to prepare it to your liking. From imported sweets to salmon and champagne to tapiocas or crepes that are ordered à la carte. The personalization of the juices so that each one can achieve the most delicious mix according to each palate is also worth mentioning, it allowed us to discover new experiences in an unexpected festival of flavors.

Villas de Trancoso is just simply an outstanding place to stay. The staff is great. Our many thanks to Renata who is totally fluent in English. She was so helpful to us on suggesting places to go like Praia das Tartarugas, and restaurants particularly Bonittas in the Quadrado for dinner. The food and service at the on premise restaurant was also very good. Trrancoso is one of the most unique places in the world. If you decide to go, stay at Villas de Trancoso. Also, you don't need to rent a car. The local taxis are great and inexpensive.

Hello,
Thank you for your message and interest in our Villas.
Trancoso has a tropical climate. It is hard to say when it is going to rain. There are really no raining seasons. You may have some showers during the day or at night.
We do have availability from June 8 to 15. If you are really interested please inform us how many people will come so that we can send you a quotation.
Best regards,
Renata
Hello,
A great question. April is probably one of our most popular months but we have an almost perfect year round climate so most any time is good. May, June, July is winter here while Dec, Jan and Feb is summer. Average temperature vary little from summer to winter.
We see a lot of families with children and somehow the kids never seem to tire. There is lots of activity on the beach, we have two pools and large open spaces in gardens to explore. We have a family of monkeys on the property that the kids might want to visit as well. There are also some interesting excursions to secluded beaches such as Espelho. Most guest like to visit a hidden 5 star restaurant while there.
I promise you and your children will not be disappointed. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
galen
