"We had a great stay at Pierre's — the views were phenomenal and our stay was seamless. Charlie and the rest of the team were also very communicative and helped us out with anything that came up. Would rent again."

"We had the absolute best stay — truly a 10/10 experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and made to feel completely at home. A special thank you to Julia who was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us & we were fed every day. The team coordinated everything seamlessly, which made our stay effortless and so relaxing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would return in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!"

★★★★★

"We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. The location is excellent, right on Copacabana Beach, with beautiful views and easy access to everything. The apartment itself was fantastic. Five spacious suites, a large dining room, a casual dining area, comfortable living space, and stunning views throughout. The rooftop pool was phenomenal. Julia was incredible — she looked after us so well, kept everything spotless, cooked for us, and genuinely made our stay feel effortless and comfortable. Charlie was also a great host. He met us, made us feel welcome, and gave excellent recommendations. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Rio. We would absolutely stay here again."

What Guests Mention

Four stays, 2026

In their words.

Read the reviews side by side and the same points come up in almost every one: the housekeeper, the welcome, the location and the size of the place.

See the penthouse

Julia

Three of the four reviews name Julia, the housekeeper who comes with the rental. Christian called her "so kind and attentive". Madison wrote that "we were fed every day", and Kevin that she "kept everything spotless, cooked for us". The rental includes her for the whole stay: she prepares breakfast and cleans the bedrooms and bathrooms daily.

The welcome

Kevin wrote that Charlie "met us, made us feel welcome, and gave excellent recommendations". Inchan found the team "very communicative". Art de Vivre meets every guest at the building's reception on arrival day and shows them around the penthouse.

The location

Kevin described it as "right on Copacabana Beach, with beautiful views and easy access to everything", and Christian wrote that "you really can't beat the location". The building fronts Avenida Atlântica; the sand is across the avenue.

The space

Kevin listed "five spacious suites, a large dining room, a casual dining area" and called the rooftop pool "phenomenal". Inchan wrote that "the views were phenomenal". The penthouse sleeps ten across two floors and 848 m².

★★★★★

"Art de Vivre really knows how to put a weekend together! The weekend we spent in a penthouse right in Copacabana with an ocean view was unforgettable — the pool day on the terrace with live samba was the highlight. A big shoutout to the team for their fantastic organization, the delicious brunch, bbq and drinks that made our stay truly special."

"It was hard to leave — not only because of its proximity to so many great things (loved the views) but also because of Julia who was such a sweet and thoughtful part of our days. Thanks to Charlie for being so accommodating and accessible! Such a great place for the group to create new memories that we will always cherish! This has been a very memorable birthday trip. Very glad we found Charlie and Julia. They definitely made us feel like family and not like visitors!"

"The company and the place where they hosted me is incredible. Charlie and his team, in addition to hosting me, gave me valuable tips on where to go, how to shop, places and beaches that I wouldn't have discovered on my own in Rio de Janeiro. They responded quickly at all times. I highly recommend them!"
