Chapter III · The Firm

Art de Vivre.

"ADV significa Art de Vivre, que quer dizer estilo de vida." — Art de Vivre means lifestyle.

The Firm

A boutique house, a portfolio of luxury addresses.

Art de Vivre is a Rio de Janeiro real estate brokerage (CRECI RJ 009278/O) and short-term rental management company. The firm curates a portfolio of luxury residences — apartments, penthouses, houses and farms — across Rio and beyond, and operates the services and experiences that go with them.

Four lines of business sit under one name: vacation rentals, short-term rentals, long-term rentals, and sales. One portfolio. One team. One standard.

"Não alugamos apenas imóveis belíssimos, também oferecemos todos os serviços e experiências que você possa precisar durante a sua estadia."

We don't just rent beautiful properties — we also offer every service and experience you might need during your stay.

The Philosophy

Boutique, by design.

Boutique doesn't mean small — it means curated. Every address in the ADV portfolio is held to the same standard of service, and the team is built to match.

That standard carries through the stay itself: warm hospitality, a single point of contact for every request, and a team that answers promptly — whether the question is a chef for dinner tonight or a speedboat for Sunday morning.

The Team

People, not profiles.

Art de Vivre is led by a professional real estate and hospitality team operating from Rio de Janeiro. A back-office handles bookings, service scheduling and owner relations; on-site staff maintain the residences and look after guests throughout the stay.

Behind the addresses, a roster of vetted partners — private chefs, drivers, guides, speedboat captains, helicopter operators — turns every stay into a fully arranged one.

Beyond the Keys

A full calendar, on request.

Art de Vivre's experience programme runs alongside every stay: speedboat charters, guided hikes, helicopter flights, hang-gliding, jeep tours, and private guided visits to the city's landmarks — Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, the Botanical Garden, Santa Teresa. Choose what you'd like; it's arranged and waiting.
