Since its origin, Villas de Trancoso has been conceived as a complement to its surroundings—a place where nature, architecture, and people coexist in balance. Here, sustainability is not an adjective, but a way of living. Every gesture, material, and choice is born from the same purpose: to preserve the beauty that inspires us.
Our environmental commitment is continuous and tangible.
Among our main actions:
Architecture integrated into the natural environment, with predominant use of Brazilian woods from sustainable management and building techniques that respect the terrain and natural ventilation.
Water treatment and reuse with smart irrigation systems and water recovery solutions for the care of the gardens.
Efficient energy management through LED lighting, automatic sensors, and low-consumption equipments.
Conscious sourcing and local procurement, prioritizing seasonal ingredients and sustainable products from nearby producers.
Selective waste collection and recycling of paper, plastic, metal, glass, cooking oil, batteries, electronics, light bulbs, and coffee capsules, through local partnerships.
Regenerative landscaping that protects native species and creates ecological corridors for birds and small animals.
For us, sustainability is also social. The Villas maintain long-term partnerships with native residents and small entrepreneurs in the region, always prioritizing the local economy. More than 90% of our team is made up of professionals from Trancoso and nearby areas—people who grow with us and carry forward the spirit of this place.
We value learning and craft through ongoing training and inclusion programs, creating fair opportunities and strengthening bonds. We also encourage mindful consumption and respect for traditions, supporting local artists, fishers, and artisans.
The Villas’ future is green, human, and circular. We continue investing in regenerative solutions and environmental certifications that translate our commitment to the planet and the community. Every new action is born from listening and learning—from the soil, from people, from time.
Our purpose is simple and profound: to keep the essence of Trancoso alive for the next generations.
