For me the Quadrado has some magic power that I've only encountered here, it completely relaxes me and takes away all the stress the minute I step foot on it.

The lake-like pool was created entirely from 40,000 specimens of unique green aventurine quartz, a native Bahian stone considered by many to have powerful healing qualities and be among the most therapeutic minerals in the world.
Casa features include: full kitchens, private gardens, indoor / outdoor living rooms, open-air bathrooms, king-size beds, wireless internet, satellite television. Some casas include private plunge pools, jacuzzis, hanging terraces, as well as private dining space on the historic Quadrado.
Every room is unique and charming. Be sure to see it for yourself by visiting UXUA CASA HOTEL official website and UXUA facebook page.

Trancoso is approximately 24 kilometres from Porto Seguro airport, Brazil, which translates as an hour's drive due to the scenic, two-lane roads and a short river ferry crossing.
From November through February, many charter flights fly directly to Porto Seguro from Europe.
