In Florianópolis, there are two types of rental property – short-term and annual. As the name suggests, if you aren’t renting for a full year, then you’re renting short-term.

If you are not intending to stay on in Brazil after you obtain permanent residency, then we recommend booking your own accommodation through a site like Airbnb. While there is a premium to pay when using these sites, it also means you have protections through these sites, and support in your own language via their customer service teams.

If you book a package of services with us, we are happy to advise you on best neighbourhoods on the island, and to look at the properties you are considering, so we can give you pros and cons of the area, the transport connections, the surrounding streets, etc, to help you make an informed decision.

If you are looking for a long-term rental, we can help you with this. We are well connected within Florianópolis. There are many advantages to us finding and booking your accommodation for you:

• We have existing relationships with Brazilian landlords and are able to negotiate on the price, to ensure you are getting the best deal possible
• We know the island like the back of our hand – we know the neighbourhoods that best suit your needs (in terms of public transport, supermarket and school facilities, traffic, etc.)
• When we look for accommodation for you, we look where the locals do – physical bulletin boards in supermarkets and squares, local Brazilian websites and of course, through our own private networks
