An entrepreneur and formerly a director of several companies in Paris for 25 years, with a specialty in new technologies, Pierre Bident Moldeva now embraces life in Brazil where he helps to lead teams that meet the new challenges of the hospitality world. His husband, Olivier Verwilghen, is a musician, polyglot, raconteur, and qualified kite-surfing instructor who breathes life and rhythm into his guests’ stays with tales about Brazil in English, French, Portuguese, or Dutch, while also preparing passion-fruit caipirinhas whose recipe he keeps a closely guarded secret! After meeting at an exhibition, the two traveled the world together before settling in Brazil. The couple’s amiable and curious nature, as well as their sustained passion for travel, has instilled in them a great desire to meet new people and make new friends. Their two properties—Chez Georges in Rio and La Ferme de Georges in northeastern Brazil—are expressions of their mutual love for nature, sport, and sharing new experiences that create enduring memories.
