Art de Vivre launches a new website for its Rio de Janeiro brokerage and luxury rental management.

Boutique CRECI-licensed firm consolidates sales, short-stay rentals, neighborhood research and vetted experiences onto a single multilingual platform at artdevivre.com.br.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Art de Vivre (ADV), the boutique brokerage that has sold and managed luxury homes in Rio de Janeiro since 2011, today launches its new website at artdevivre.com.br. The platform brings the firm's sales mandates, short-stay rentals, neighborhood guides, building research and concierge experiences onto one site, in six languages, with prices that switch between US Dollar, Brazilian Real and Euro.

Founded by principal broker Charles Jonas (CRECI-RJ 009278/O), Art de Vivre is a hands-on firm that buys, sells and manages apartments and villas across Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Joá and São Conrado, plus the coastal destinations where cariocas keep second homes — Angra dos Reis, Búzios and Paraty. The brokerage answers in English, Português, Français and Italiano, the same day, in Rio business hours.

“The site is the one I wanted my own clients to find. A foreign family that's never bought in Brazil shouldn't have to read four blogs, two visa forums and a CRECI directory to figure out what their first ten days in Rio actually look like. The new site does that work for them.”

— Charles Jonas, founder and principal broker, Art de Vivre

What's on the new platform

  • A full sales catalog and short-stay rental portfolio. Photography, building notes, ROI math, and a calculator that runs short-stay versus long-let scenarios in three currencies.
  • A page for every neighborhood we work. Zona Sul (Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Lagoa, Jardim Botânico, Gávea, Urca, Leme, Vidigal), the West Zone (Barra da Tijuca, Joá, São Conrado), and Beyond Rio (Angra dos Reis, Paraty, Búzios, Cabo Frio, Petrópolis, Teresópolis).
  • A long-form Journal. Essays on the foreign-owner economics of Rio property, written from the closing table — including the 2026 market piece, the Joá and São Conrado photo essay, and the foreign-owner tax walk-through.
  • A catalog of storied Rio buildings. Storied addresses across the city, from Copacabana's Edifício Chopin to the carioca modernism of Edifício Praia de Botafogo, each with its own page.
  • A concierge desk of booked experiences. Helicopters over Cristo and Pão de Açúcar, speedboats in Angra, hang-gliding off São Conrado, private chefs in your villa, and the Búzios schooner day.
  • A satellite explorer map. Every for-sale listing, every restaurant Charlie books, and the places worth seeing — pinned on one screen, in-place, with no separate page to navigate to.
