The Etnia property is truly lovely, but what makes this experience so special is the quality of the team of people who work there and see to your every need. We spent four glorious days here following an active adventure around some of Brazil's landmarks. We arrived, took off our shoes and donned our bathing suits and that was it!... More

I read the reviews but seeing is believing. The pousada is lovely, set among mature trees, a large pool and chalets spread out on the property. Each one has a theme, but very simply decorated and nothing too much. The rooms are very spacious, a loft, large shower, large everything. Beautiful cafe da manha! Service is terrrific but not doting.... More

Etnia is very exclusive, with only eight bungalows, each with a different decor. I stayed for three nights at the mediterranean bungalow, which was very spacious, confortable, clean and nicely decorated. Staff was very nice, friendly and helpful during all our stay. Breakfast is very good, with a lot of options, and it is served next to the pool, which... More

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
