Three hours’ drive from Rio is Comuna do Ibitipoca, a 4,000-hectare private reserve that aims to preserve and reforest native plant species and create wildlife corridors.
At the centre of the reserve is Fazenda do Engenho, a traditional farmhouse dating back to 1715. In 2006 it was lovingly restored, keeping the original colonial characteristics, to create a wonderful eight-room hotel.
There is also Carlinhos House, a separate three-bedroom building which is perfect for families. The whole property has been beautifully furnished in a rustic farmhouse style. Rooms are light and airy with polished wooden floors.
A really special place that very few foreigners have discovered. With 60 staff looking after just 11 rooms, all your needs and more will be met.
Don’t let the transfer time deter, instead take a short but amazing helicopter flight from Rio, over iconic sites like Sugar Loaf mountain and Christ the Redeemer statue, more than just a transfer – a memorable way to arrive.
Activities include exploring the grounds, nearby waterfalls and mountains either on foot, 4×4 or by horse. For a more relaxed option, there is daily yoga and a spa with many treatments on offer.
We know a thing or two about bespoke holidays – we’ve been creating them since 1989. Take a trip through the Brazil holidays that we love today.
