MAGNIFICENT CLIFFTOP
It is all about relaxation. Whether that means lazing beside a sparkling swimming pool, strolling around a UNESCO listed village or playing golf on a soaring cliff top.
Awake in a white, tented bed to the sound of birds singing. Stroll out onto your private terrace and find yourself amongst the treetops of a natural forest. Twinkling through the foliage is the blue of a swimming pool; cool and invitingly empty at this time in the morning. Beyond lies the ocean, and ahead of you is a day full of promise.
At Etnia Casa Hotel your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Brazil takes on the shape you want. You can choose to relax beside the pool or stroll through the forest. You can play golf on a magnificent clifftop course with the Atlantic as your backdrop. Or you could take a trip into the UNESCO-listed village of Trancoso – a mecca for many of Brazil’s architects, artists, designers and craftsmen.
