Uxua Casa
Set on Trancoso's historic central square, the Quadrado, the Uxua Casa Hotel consists of nine individual homes built by local artisans using traditional building methods.
The Uxua houses provide the perfect combination of villa-style privacy with the slick service expected of a five star hotel in the form of a spa, restaurant and beachfront lounge. The hotel chefs and bartenders can rustle up delightful Bahian specialities to enjoy by the pool or delivered directly to each casa, or guests can cook at home in fully-equipped kitchens and assisted by expert local chefs if and when required. The Uxua Spa offers a full range of beauty and wellness treatments in relaxing surroundings, and there is a pool in the Uxua garden constructed from 40,000 pieces of aventurine quartz, a local stone that supposedly has powerful healing qualities.
