Casa Barco • design, tub, waterfall, 5min from sea

The space “Casa Mira is a retreat from urban life, with impeccable infrastructure, unique architecture, and a welcoming atmosphere.” — Pedro Mota (guest) The house is located on a fully walled property of over 10,000 m², featuring a private river, access to small beaches and waterfalls, and a lush tropical garden. Casa Barco gets its name because the lower floor has some low-ceiling areas (around 1.70m), and walking through these spaces feels like being inside a boat. The property has 4 other houses, each offering full privacy and comfort for guests. Within the estate, you’ll also find hiking trails and even a baroque-style church built in 1978 by artisans from Ouro Preto, featuring roof tiles from the house of Brazilian writer Monteiro Lobato — a true journey through time. The house’s style is modern minimalism, designed by architect @Pep_Pons, lit in collaboration with @EstudioRain, furnished with queen-size mattresses from @Zissoubr (the most comfortable in Brazil), fixtures and fittings by @Docoloficial, stone flooring by @Concresteel, outdoor furniture by @Greenhousemoveis, and amenities by @Casacayeux. The house is spacious, and the veranda is an invitation to relax, read a book, and enjoy the Atlantic Forest. The fully equipped kitchen faces the forest — perfect for cooking surrounded by nature. There’s also a cozy fire pit for cooking or warming up under the moonlight. It's incredibly welcoming and ideal for those looking to escape the beach crowds and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the mountains, just 5 minutes from Paúba and Maresias beaches. A true refuge to reconnect and recharge. Your pet is very welcome at MIRA — we charge a small fee to ensure proper cleaning and hygiene. Guest access Guests may park their car inside the property.
