Etnia Casa Hotel

My husband and I visited for three nights and our stay could not have been better. The villa had everything we needed and was spacious and comfortable. We loved having the privacy of our own patio and upper deck to relax and listen to the birds. Filipe the manger was very attentive and helpful. He took great care of us! A table by the pool was set out for us every morning for a delicious breakfast. Filipe had good suggestions for dining in town and also arranged a spot for us at a local beach club for the afternoon. We did a couple of adventures-biking and UTV-and Filipe helped arrange both of those. The town was a short walk away and is lovely and there were so many restaurants it was hard to choose! Lots of shopping and also a nightly local market on the square. I would love to go back again sometime!

Beautiful piece of paradise. The villas are spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need. We were four couples, split in two villas and there were bedrooms to spare. The location is not on the beach (which appears to be typical of many hotels in Trancoso), but the pool is very nice. It is a very short walking distance (5 minutes) to the center of town and all the fabulous restaurants, bars and shops. Beach clubs are the way to go and there are plenty to choose from - close by (20minute walk/10 minute cab) and far away (1 hr cab). Filipe, the manager and concierge, is AMAZING. He takes care of everything - bookings, taxis, recommendations, etc and his response time is immediate. The staff are all friendly, kind and accommodating. The included breakfast is very good - different offerings each day and also a set menu of local food and traditional breakfast options. If you are headed to Trancoso, definitely consider staying at Etnia!

This hotel is in fact an addition of small houses that are owned separately and ultimately managed by 2 guys that live in Italy. I was the only guest in any of the7 (?) houses. Although the occupancy was very low, the rate was high and was even higher the day I left (outside weekend) with just one guest checking in on that day. One would think that they would lower the rates to fill-up the property, but this is not the case, although the staff has to be present even for one guest. Do not expect to walk to the beach from this property. The breakfast was the best part as I was very treated by a very nice staff. The concierge was also very helpful. He is really an asset to this property. If you like coffee, bring your own Nespresso capsules. They charge R$20 (about 5 USD) per capsule in the room or at the restaurant, if you order an espresso or a cappuccino (without prior warning). I guess that some guests are not careful and think the capsules are complimentary like in other luxury properties. The restaurants are expensive in this small village, but the vibe is nice, although things to do are very limited.

Em todos os momentos fomos extremamente bem acolhidos, servidos e orientados a desfrutar do melhor em Trancoso. Indicamos de olhos fechados e registramos nosso agradecimento especial a Felipe e Aline. Ahh! Não deixem de experimentar a moqueca de peixe da Aline!!!! Um Show.
