Etnia Pousada & Boutique - Trancoso

Laid back and stylish, Etnia is the concept of two Italians, CorradoTini and André Zanonato, who had the inspired idea of sharing Trancoso’s unique appeal with travellers who love off the beaten track destinations to ultra-luxury resorts. Etnia Pousada’s owners have managed to strike the right balance between design (described as a mix between kitsch and authenticity), atmosphere (enhanced by superb service) and the area’s natural beauty (the kind of “living at the edge of the jungle” experience Brazil offers effortlessly). For starters, Etnia Pousada offers exclusivity without pretension. All bungalows and the two villas have their own terraces and beautiful manicured gardens and are equipped with free Wi-Fi access and air conditioning. The staff, unfailingly cheerful and genuinely solicitous is very much part of the magical mix that separates excellent hotels from those offering unforgettable experiences such as Etnia Pousada. This place simply oozes ambiance, with its large pool and open air restaurant and the fabulous massage treatments of its Spa. The stunning location and lush tropical forest are an integral part of Etnia Pousada’s unique charm.... The hotel has embraced sustainable tourism philosophy virtually since its inception, making environmental and resource preservation one of its main priorities.
