CASA HISTORY
An old casa with love in its history. Initially a simple shack, it was restored by Brazilian filmmaker Augusto Sevá, one of the first biribandos (affectionate name given by natives to the first hippies and travelers that came to Trancoso in the 70s), who dreamed of a ‘garden with a house’ instead of a ‘house with a garden’ for his family.
We love this house, a pure expression of Trancoso’s essence of simplicity as well as love for both nature and family.
DESIGN
Originally part of UXUA Alma collection, it’s now the newest addition to UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa with a recent renovation that added dashes of new textures, colors, a private pool surrounded by nature and artworks and décor from the exclusive UXUA D.A.S. collection and contributions by UXUA Artist in Casa participants such as UK fashion illustrator Joey Yu.
LOVE FOR DETAILS
Thousands of small details executed with care give UXUA its identity. Furniture, decor, lighting and fixtures are one-of-a-kind, organic creations of designer Wilbert Das, handmade at the hotel by native artisans ranging from fishermen to Pataxó Indians. Antiques and art are sourced locally. International creatives living at UXUA have contributed via our Artist In Casa residency.
