Sources checked on November 7, 2026 · Antológica, short-term rental management with Super Vou (CRECI/PR J11051)
Short answer
Yes, you can rent out your property in Brazil on Airbnb without living here. Antológica runs it end to end in partnership with Super Vou, an Airbnb management company from Curitiba: listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance, with a statement for every booking. We manage in Curitiba, Guaratuba and the Paraná coast, Bombinhas and Itapema, and Pedro Carvalho serves you in English.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Market figures describe the market, not what your property will earn. Confirm taxes with an accountant who works with non-residents.
Who runs your property
The management is a partnership. Super Vou is an Airbnb management company from Curitiba, Antológica's partner in short-term rental management. It runs the property day to day: the Airbnb listing with professional photos, prices adjusted day by day, guest messages and check-in, professional cleaning after every stay, laundry and linens, and maintenance.
Antológica checks the building first. Before your property goes live, we read the condominium bylaws (convenção) and the minutes of the owners' meetings (atas) and tell you what we found.
Super Vou is a Superhost on Airbnb, with an average rating of 4.81 across 4,512 guest reviews (profile read on November 6, 2026).
You write to us in English. Pedro Carvalho, one of Antológica's partners, replies to you and connects you with Super Vou.
Where we manage, and what each market looks like
Full management covers four markets: Curitiba, the capital of Paraná; Guaratuba and the Paraná coast (Matinhos, Caiobá and Pontal do Paraná); and Bombinhas and Itapema, on the coast of Santa Catarina. Balneário Camboriú, Florianópolis and Porto Belo are on request: management there is confirmed case by case.
| Market | Active listings | Occupancy | Average daily rate | Average revenue per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curitiba (Paraná) | 6,586 | 62% | US$ 38 | US$ 8,200 |
| Guaratuba (Paraná coast) | 781 | 38% | US$ 101 | US$ 9,800 |
| Bombinhas (Santa Catarina) | 2,364 | 52% | US$ 110 | US$ 14,000 |
| Itapema (Santa Catarina) | 1,374 | 51% | US$ 102 | US$ 13,400 |
AirDNA, 12 months to September 2026, read on October 14, 2026. AirDNA counts Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com listings without counting the same property twice, and measures occupancy over the nights available. These are market averages, not a forecast for your property.
The coast is seasonal. In Bombinhas, according to AirROI (August 2025 to July 2026), average monthly revenue in the peak months (December to February) was US$ 2,157, against US$ 472 in the low months (June, August and September). Curitiba is a city market, with guests all year round who come for leisure, business, events and medical treatment.
From what the guest pays to what reaches you
- The guest pays for the stay and, when there is one, the cleaning fee.
- Airbnb deducts its fee. Airbnb publishes a single 16% host fee for listings in Brazil (Help Center, read on November 7, 2026). In a real statement we analyzed (five bookings of a studio in Curitiba, October 2026), the deduction was about 18.2% of the stay plus the cleaning fee charged.
- The cost of cleaning between guests comes out.
- The management commission comes out. It is performance-based: it comes out of what each booking earns, and a month with no bookings has no commission.
- What is left is yours. Every booking appears in the statement on the owner dashboard, line by line.
Our commission is within the market average, and the percentage is presented in the conversation, with the numbers for your property. For reference, Brazilian management companies that publish prices charge 16% to 20% for full management, each on a different base (pages read on October 14, 2026). Condominium fees, IPTU (the municipal property tax) and utilities stay with you, as the owner.
What changes when you own from abroad
- Taxes. Rent paid to a non-resident is taxed in Brazil at 15%, withheld at source and final, paid through your representative in Brazil (25% for residents of tax havens): Decree-Law 5,844/1943, art. 100, and Law 9,779/1999, art. 8. Your country of residence may tax that income as well, and tax treaties can change the result. Set it up with an accountant who works with non-residents.
- CPF. The registry record of every property in Brazil lists the owner's CPF, the Brazilian taxpayer number (Law 6,015/1973, art. 176). If you bought the property, you already have one.
- The building. On May 7, 2026, Brazil's Superior Court of Justice ruled (STJ, REsp 2,121,055-MG) that repeated or professional short stays in a residential condominium require changing the building's use in an owners' meeting, with at least two thirds of the owners. The question went back to the court as a repetitive appeal (Tema 1,443), still undecided on October 15, 2026. That is why we read the bylaws and the minutes before anything else.
- Distance. Every change of guests needs someone on site: check-in, cleaning, linens and the occasional repair. Full management puts all of that under one partner and one statement.
How it starts
- You write to us in English, on WhatsApp or through the form: where the property is, how many you have and how they are used today (empty, rented long term or already on Airbnb).
- We read the building's bylaws and minutes and tell you what we found.
- Super Vou presents the numbers for your property and the commission.
- Super Vou prepares the property for the first bookings and opens the calendar.
Frequently asked questions
Can a foreigner rent out property on Airbnb in Brazil?
Yes. Brazil's tenancy law (Lei 8.245/1991) does not depend on the owner's nationality or residence, and Airbnb operates normally in Brazil. What can stop it is the building: in a residential condominium, repeated or professional short stays require approval from two thirds of the owners (STJ, REsp 2,121,055-MG, May 2026). Rent paid to a non-resident is taxed at 15% at source.
