A magic place... surrounded by nature... and the colors of Bahia... The space Beautiful house Itapua beach This home was built by New York based artist Nicolas Urquiza. Located in a beautiful area on the city of Salvador, between the National Abaete Park, and one of the most beautiful beaches of Salvador, Itapua. Where famous Brazilian artists as Vinicious De Moraes, Jorge Amado, Carlos Bastos, Calazans Neto in between others found their inspiration in it, building their fantastic homes. The area is surrounded by magic, history, and a peaceful neighborhood mixed of "old Bahian Aristocracy" and "Fisherman Village"... "Vila Urquiza" was named after a fun family story.

Note: In this home you will find images of local religious Candomblé, Buddhism, Christians, African religious etc ... in a beautiful small altar where all religions are welcome. Is a little corner to invite you to meditate, and relax. Also, since I'm a free spirit artist, I have a bast collection of art around the house, a few are drawings of nude bodies, made by amazing artists from different parts of the world. This house is about love, if your religion and moral values are based on hate and intolerance, this is obviously not the right place for you. Photos of this images are posted on the "Photo gallery". Since this is now clearly explained, I will not accept cancelations due to personal offense, from fanatic religious guests, which sadly I had to deal with lately. The house is located on the streets, is it not a private condominium and doesn’t share the pool or any other areas with any other homes. Love and peace!
