Bom Jardim - The Villa

Overview

In 2020, the quintessential colonial-style residence in Paraty underwent a complete redesign under the expertise of acclaimed architect Marcos Tomanik.

Spanning an impressive 1,500 m2, the property comprises six spacious suites, three of which boast stunning ocean vistas, all equipped with ample closets and expansive bathrooms. The flooring was revamped with exquisite ceramic imported from Spain.

Accentuating the interior are treasures amassed by the family from maritime antique shops over five decades ago, including authentic ship compasses, vintage diving gear, and replicas of English sailing vessels, complemented by maritime hues and tropical motifs.
