Our story
More than a place, Villa do Portinho is a living story of memories, love and the sea.
Our History
Welcome to Villa do Portinho.
More than just a beachfront destination, Villa do Portinho is a place that carries stories of love, dedication and perseverance. From the first steps on the sand to the present day, each house holds memories of a journey built with love and hard work.
Praia do Portinho has always been a special place, seen with tenderness through the eyes of Benedita, a hard-working woman with a huge heart. It was here that a family found their home, where childhood memories were shaped between sand castles and sunny days by the sea. Today, these same houses, which once were a refuge and a family retreat, are open to welcome you.
Much more than just accommodation, the houses at Villa do Portinho offer the opportunity to experience unique moments. Each corner holds a story, each window reveals an enchanting sea view, and the breeze that blows through the balcony brings with it the peaceful and welcoming essence of this special place.
Now, you can also be part of this story. Feel the energy of this refuge, create new memories and discover the charm of being by the sea in an environment that was once home and is now ready to welcome you.
Chapel of Saint Anthony
Faith and Tradition at Portinho Beach
The history of Villa do Portinho is intertwined with local culture and tradition. One of the most significant milestones in this legacy was the donation of land by our family for the construction of the Santo Antônio Chapel, a space of faith and encounter on Praia do Portinho, Ilhabela.
To this day, the chapel maintains its importance to the community, holding Sunday masses at 10 am, a special moment for both residents and our guests, who often take advantage of their stay to participate in the celebrations.
If you are looking for an authentic experience in Ilhabela, in addition to the beautiful beaches and contact with nature, Capela Santo Antônio is an invitation to moments of peace, spirituality and connection with local history.
Come and live this unique experience at Villa do Portinho and discover the charm of Praia do Portinho.
