A sprawling, jungle getaway nestled among mango, acai and banana trees.
Casa Anderson sits along a meandering path that begins at Trancoso’s historic town square, just a short stroll from its shops, cafés, and the Quadrado’s charm.
This rainforest retreat in the heart of Bahia is spread across four separate structures, each built by local craftsmen using regional materials. Surrounded by tropical vegetation, the property blends indoor and outdoor living, offering privacy while keeping you close to the area’s cultural and natural highlights.
What we love about Casa Anderson
- Owned by Anderson Cooper, a lead anchor for CNN
- The estate comprises four buildings: the living space, two bungalows and one two-storey treehouse
- Wilbert Das, owner of nearby boutique hotel Uxua, designed the beautiful interiors
- Casa Anderson’s front gate opens onto the charming Quadrado
- There are sunbeds, a bar and shower inside a huge hollow pequi tree trunk
- You can plunge into the 20-metre pool from your balcony
Days here are best spent tapping into Trancoso’s slow pace.
Relax in your villa, making the most of its peaceful rainforest setting. Read in a hammock beneath the palms, cool off in the pool, and enjoy fresh tropical fruits on the deck.
When you’re ready to explore, step out to the Quadrado for boutiques, cafés, and restaurants serving Bahian specialties. Wander the cobblestone streets, visit the historic church with its ocean views, or follow the sandy path down to Trancoso’s beaches for swimming and sunset cocktails.
A short drive away, you can explore nearby beaches like Praia do Espelho or Caraíva, take a boat trip along the coastline, or join a local guide for horseback riding, kayaking, or visits to regional craft markets.
