I was struck by the beauty of design of the villa captured in this photo above.
When I first came across this photo on an online interior magazine a while ago, the villa was introduced just as an example of beautiful architecture and interior design. I was like "wow, this is my dream house" . . .
It was just recently that I happened to find out that you can rent this charming villa. When I was searching accommodations in Trancoso, I unexpectedly ran into that familiar photo above. I can't tell you enough how much I got excited!

- A combination of whitewashed walls and rustic dark brown wood is one of my favorites.
- Love the atmosphere of warmth, comfort and sophistication.
- Love the open, airy space in a natural, simple, relaxed style which reflects owner's hospitality.
- Love the design making great use of wooden louvers (both vertical and horizontal) that allow air and light in as well as views from within.
- Love the craftsmanship that can be found everywhere in this villa.
- Oh I almost forgot to mention that CASA TIBA is located in the best area of Trancoso, a 2-minute walk from the historical Quadrado, center of Trancoso, and 5-minute walk to the nicest beach. It's close to everything, but hidden away to protect your privacy.

CASA TIBA is located in the center of Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil. It's approximately 24 kilometres from Porto Seguro airport, which translates as an hour's drive due to the scenic, two-lane roads and a short river ferry crossing (about 10 minutes).
From November through February, many charter flights fly directly to Porto Seguro from Europe.
