About the host
Hosted by Arthur Hilario
We are a couple passionate about design, fashion, and hospitality, curating every detail to create memorable stays. Based in Rio de Janeiro, we also run House of Models, a fashion media platform celebrating creativity and style. Hosting at Casa ArthÁbio allows us to combine our love for aesthetics, nature, and connection—sharing the beauty of this vibrant city with travelers from around the world.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood holds a special place in our hearts. Arthur moved to Rio in 2014, after growing up in the countryside of Minas Gerais and living 14 years near Boston. It was here, in Olympic Barra, that he fell in love—not just with the beauty of the area, but also with Fabio, a Rio native who has always called this neighborhood home. Together, we chose to build our life, our family, and our dreams here.
We picked the SOHO condominium because it felt like us: modern, elegant, thoughtfully designed, with stunning architecture and an irresistible leisure area that captivated us from the first visit. It offers the perfect balance of style, functionality, and well-being.
It’s also where our beloved dog, João Paçoca, thrives—enjoying the wide open spaces, making new furry friends, and living his best life. The pet-friendly environment is just one of the many things that make this place feel like home.
We love the security, the tree-lined walking paths, the scenic bike rides, and knowing that everything we need is just a short stroll or a quick ride away. And when we crave the sea, we’re only 10 minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches in the city—a true sanctuary of energy and peace amidst any of life’s challenges.
For us, this neighborhood is more than just a place to live; it’s a lifestyle of balance, connection with nature, and joy. We’re thrilled to share this experience with you and hope you feel as inspired and welcomed here as we do every day.
What makes this property unique
Casa ArthÁbio is more than just a space; it’s an extension of our story, our roots, and our passions. Every corner was thoughtfully curated with objects brought from Minas Gerais, where we’ve cultivated countless memories and collected the crystals and stones that now adorn and energize the home—a piece of our countryside farm lovingly shared with those who stay here.
The walls and light fixtures echo London, where Fabio experienced a transformative chapter as a journalist, while the neutral finishes create space for the art to shine—freely and emotionally. Some pieces were created by Fabio himself, others acquired at a special Chanel exhibition celebrating fashion, and still others gifted by dear photographer friends who captured the essence of New York—a city deeply connected to Arthur’s life journey.
We embraced soft, light tones to craft a sanctuary where rest becomes inevitable after days of exploration. The nature that embraces Rio de Janeiro also permeates our home: lush plants in every room extend the green landscape indoors, creating a seamless dialogue with the condominium’s beautiful surroundings.
Casa ArthÁbio is made of affection, design, aesthetics, and soul. An invitation to live, feel, and be inspired. Here, more than simply hosting, we offer a space to be embraced—an experience where every detail whispers a story… and perhaps, sparks yours too.
