The First Art Farm in Brazil
Plastic artist Vanessa Meyer signs an unprecedented and enchanting project that proposes a new way of living, creating, and contemplating: Villa Sarre. Located in the district of Catuçaba, in São Luís do Paraitinga, São Paulo state countryside, this farm rises as a sanctuary of natural beauty, sophistication, and artistic expression. More than a destination, Villa Sarre is a reunion – of the artist with her roots, of art with the land, of luxury with essential simplicity.
Daughter of a farmer from the interior of Minas Gerais, Vanessa traveled the world and dedicated herself to art in various forms. But it was in this piece of mountain, surrounded by the exuberance of the Atlantic Forest, that she reconnected with her most intimate origin: the love for the land, for affective memory, and for the silent beauty of nature. Thus, Brazil's first art farm was born, where the cultivation is of sensations, experiences, and creations.
Villa Sarre is a project built on successive plateaus that follow the natural relief of the mountain, in a geography that invites breathing and contemplation. Each plateau is a new layer of experience, with a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic. The predominant tones – variations of off-white, earthy beiges, natural straws, and fibers – create an almost ethereal visual landscape that evokes the calmness of Greece, the elegant rusticity of Tuscany, and the Brazilian soul of those who value craftsmanship.
Nothing there is casual. Every object was chosen or conceived by the artist herself: white clay, rope, sisal, coconut fibers, and Brazilian woods coexist with pieces from the Amazon, Bahia, and Southern Brazil. Everything dialogues with the surroundings, as if nature also signed every detail.
The second plateau, which marks the opening of Villa Sarre to the public, offers an intimate and personalized experience. In it, a spacious living room with panoramic views integrates with the kitchen, the heart of relationships and gatherings. There, breakfasts, lunches, and dinners take on the air of a ritual, accompanied by a landscape that transforms at every moment. Next to it, a pool of clear tones — fed by a local spring — transforms blue into crystal, reflecting the sky and mountains with the transparency of a precious stone.
Three suites make up the accommodation wing: two elegant suites and a master suite with a private pool, a bungalow-style balcony enveloped by flowers, and spaces for rest and sensory pleasure.
The rental is for the complete set or by suites, accommodating up to nine people in total, with personalized concierge services, an exclusive chef, individually combined services, and tailor-made experiences, from daily itineraries to guided tours. Everything is designed for a demanding public that values sophistication, privacy, and connection with nature.
But Villa Sarre goes beyond hospitality. In its next plateaus — already under construction — an open-air gallery will emerge, featuring works by Vanessa Meyer herself and other artists who will find a refuge there to create. Chalets with individual studios will be opened for accommodation and artistic residency, inviting writers, sculptors, painters, and creators to dialogue with nature and their own inner selves.
Above, on the mountain peak, a 360-degree viewpoint will host moments of contemplation and also a helipad for direct access. An ecological trail, marked and safe, descends from the mountain to a mineral water spring — another preciousness that reaffirms the prominence of nature.
A silent manifesto that living with art, with beauty, and with time is possible. A place where art is produced as coffee is planted or corn is harvested: with care, with time, with devotion. Where luxury is in the texture of the earth, in the lightness of the breeze, in the sound of a stream, in the simple gesture of a table set with affection.
Villa Sarre is not a hotel, it is not an inn, it is not just a farm.
It is a sensitive territory of creation, a point of light on the map of contemporary Brazilian art — and an invitation to those who wish to experience the rare: the encounter with what is essential.
