Supreme Villa BOTANIQUE

A luxury mountain escape crafted by Brazilian entrepreneur Ricardo Semler and his designer wife Fernanda as a showcase for the best of the country’s artistic and design talent, with every detail as exquisite as it is Brazilian. The king of the spectacular suites is the split-level wood-crafted Supreme Villa, where endless windows overlook the Mantiqueira mountain range and pristine forest. As cozy as it is elegant, the open-plan living area combines a 55-inch TV home theater with a private bar, fireplace and grand piano, alongside indoor and outdoor bathtubs and a private plunge pool.
