Located directly in front of the 16th century São João Batista church on the Quadrado, this vacation home rental in Brazil is one in a complex of unique homes designed by fashion designer Wilbert Das. The property was originally designed by Dona Suzana, founder of a Brazilian furnishing company and an early devotee of Trancoso and is best known for its views over the mangroves, the Rio Trancoso, and endless kilometers of beautiful coastline (the property is within a five minute walk to the beach down a private path).
Immersed within lush tropical gardens, the house is almost completely obscured from view enveloping you in peaceful privacy and natural beauty. Developed in close collaboration with local artisans using traditional techniques, the culture and lifestyle is evident throughout, with handcrafted details, reclaimed native wood and authentic design with a mix of furnishings and customized pieces. The bright airy living areas are cozy and uncomplicated, with multiple interconnected social spaces providing both a sense of connection as well as independence. The fully equipped kitchen is ideal for entertaining with numerous dining areas inside and out.
The bedrooms suites are split – with one on each floor in the main house, and two in a cabana next to the swimming pool, with romantic panoramas of the Quadrado and coastline from the balcony of the master suite.
There are vast terraces and decks around the swimming pool, a sunset deck on the west side of the house, and a low-key, rounded veranda, full of deep cushioned sofas and chairs and an outdoor fireplace at its center with plenty of lounge areas under the tropical canopy.
With a laid back glamour and a stylish simplicity, Casa Mirante delivers the perfect homage to authentic Bahian tradition.

AROUND
The charming and rustic town of Trancoso sits along the southern region of the Atlantic coast of Bahia along beautiful stretches of unspoiled shoreline. A former laid back hippy destination, the town is attracting a more jet set crowd of late but remains laid back. From the UNESCO designated Quadrado, to the cobble stone streets and candy colored houses, this bluff side village hums along at a dreamy pace. The nearby beaches of Praia do Espelho, Praia dos Nativos, Rio da Barra are to the north and Rio Verde, Itaquema and Ponta de Itapororoca are to the south. Further North is the historic town of Arraial D’Ajuda in the district of Porto Seguro belonging to the region known as Discovery Coast (Costa do Descobrimento), where Portuguese explorers arrived in 1500. A peaceful and unique seaside village, it’s located on a plateau overlooking the breathtaking coastline.
