My wife and I (minus 2-year old son) stayed here for in October for a well-deserved week off. As prices in Brazil have gone through the roof in the past two years, Etnia seemed like a sensible option in Trancoso, a place that has been hijacked by rich Paulistas (those born in the state of São Paulo). We booked a... More

there is no words to discribe how cozy can this pousada be. Every room has a special decoration and the swmming pool is really nice. The owers are really nice and warm people and I love the food. I really want to come back as soon as possible. More

The ambiance of the hotel hits just the right note: Stylish without being pretentious. The bungalow we had (Morrocco?) was comfortable and spacious. Although Etnia is not normally appropriate for children, I understand they make an exception in non-peak times. Our kids loved the owners' dogs that live there, and we loved the warm welcome. The General Manager, Laura, went... More

We stayed at Etnia for our honeymoon. Absolutely fantastic location and service. Rooms are located in eight bungalows set in a tropical garden with a large pool and bar area. A perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The bars and restaurants in Trancoso's Quadrado are less than 5min walk. More

Etnia was the best hotel we stayed at in Brazil. The staff was the friendliest ever, the hotel, well amazing, and the location couldn't be better. I recommend this hotel to everyone who can appreciate the beuty of boutique hotels and value great service during their stay. More

Andre and Corado have built up Etnia into a lovely small boutique Pousada. The welcome is warm, kind and helpful. Laura, the General Manager, is an absolute star. She makes sure her guests are completely happy at all times. The rooms are spread around a tropical garden whose center point is the pool and dining area where a delicious breakfast... More

Etnia was a breath of fresh air. Very stylish but not over done. Professional yet relaxed. Stunning tropical gardens, delicious food, helpful staff, warm & friendly owners that live on site. About 8 villas so its kept very small and personal with a family feel, everyone is on first name terms and I would definitely go back. Etnia is well... More

Choosing where to stay in Trancoso (side note, do it!) is a toss up between staying down on the beach itself... beautiful but a good 10-20 min walk back up into the village... or staying in the village itself, somewhere close to the legendary Quadrado everyone talks about. We chose the later and would strongly recommend other visitors do the... More

Etnia is a fantastic pousada. The whole territory is like a rainforest! the rooms are nice and spacious (we had Mediterranean suite), breakfast by the pool is something to die for, and the staff is incredible. So friendly, happy and cheerful - seems world is spinning differently in Trancoso. The hotel is great for those wanting to be close to... More
