Who we are

A boutique brokerage for the few
who actually live here.

Art de Vivre is a licensed Rio de Janeiro real estate brokerage and a luxury rental house. We sell apartments and villas in the addresses that matter — and we run them as short-stay residences when the owners aren't using them.

Twelve years in, the model is simple: a small, careful portfolio, a back-office that doesn't drop the ball, and a concierge that knows the doormen by name. We don't have a thousand listings. The ones we have, we know cold.

What we do

Three doors. Same key.

01 · Buy

Apartments & villas, brokered properly.

Copacabana to Costa Verde. We show the listings other agents won't, and we run the paperwork to closing — escrow, escritura, ITBI.

02 · Rent

Curated short stays, not a hotel.

Hand-picked villas and apartments for a week or a season. Daily housekeeping, private chef, drivers, boats — all on one bill.

03 · Sell

Quiet sales for serious sellers.

Off-market when you want it, full-market when you don't. Real buyers — most of them ours — and a price you can defend.

List with us →

Communities · I

Ipanema.

The address most carioca buyers want and the one most travelers think of when they think of Rio. Posto 9, Vinicius, dois irmãos at sunset. We work this neighborhood block by block.

Communities · II

Leblon.

Quieter than Ipanema, more expensive than Ipanema, and worth it. School-zone families, the lagoa for morning runs, and the smallest beach with the biggest reputation in the city.

Communities · III

Copacabana.

The four-kilometer arc the postcards are made of. We sell the tower apartments with the views and run the ocean-front coberturas as short stays.

Communities · IV

Joá.

The cliff between São Conrado and Barra. Gated villas with infinity pools and a coastline you don't share with anyone. Rio's quietest luxury address.

Communities · V

São Conrado.

Hang-glider drop zone, eighteen-hole golf course, and the only beach in Rio where you can buy a house directly on the sand. We have a handful of those.
