THE VILA DA SANTA HOTEL BOUTIQUE & SPA
Located in the historic heart of Búzios, between the beach and Praça dos Ossos and under the blessings of the Church of Sant’Anna from 1743, which frame the perfect setting to stay, in addition to providing the perfect setting for intimate events.
It comes to rescue the best of Búzios style from the 60’s combined with the coastal villages of the Mediterranean. The project was born in 2010 and took five years to materialize. The owners’ childhood memories brought to Praça and Praia dos Ossos the perfect reproduction of a Mediterranean fishing village, with internal patios on different building levels.
The original fisherman’s house from the 1940s was renovated and currently serves as a reception, giving access to the internal patios and two stone pools - one of them heated - and a beautiful function and party room, with a library and fireplace. In addition to a Bar & Restaurant and SPA. The pieces acquired by the couple Bettina and Pierre d’Archemont in more than 30 years of travel - many of them from France and Italy - found in the Hotel their prominent place to be appreciated by all guests.
All comfortable accommodations are equipped with amenities, heated towels, air conditioning, cable TV, minibar, safe, wifi, internal extension, 300-thread-count bedding and anti-allergic pillows.
Very different from each other, the 24 suites, including the 5 located in Casa Secreta, are unique and have beautiful decoration by “Secrets de Famille”, including several works of art. Like authentic Air France posters, produced from the 1930s to the 1980s, by great designers and illustrators in serigraphy and lithography, as well as paintings by artist Dominique Jardy.
The uniform floor of the entire hotel, including the suites, is a faithful reproduction of the one of an ancient castle, printing a comfortable porosity in the terracotta tone. Exclusive in Brazil, it used the same technique of the region of Provence, South of France. Bringing the guest the comfort of staying warm in winter and cool in summer.
With only 5 years of operation, Vila da Santa has a lot to celebrate: it was chosen as the 3rd Best Small Hotel in Brazil in the Travelers Choice award by Trip Advisor; and its La Gare Restaurant, with Mediterranean cuisine, recognized by the same award as one of the 10 best Sophisticated Restaurants in Brazil.
