About 20 years ago the founders of Reil had the opportunity to get to know Brazil and  it was love at first sight. 
From this long lasting love, have derived several activities related to the real estate/ hospitality sector.

Over these 20 years there have been many positive experiences and many  opportunities  to meet so many people who nowadays allow Reil to claim very good and well established relations with social economic outstanding representatives of Brazilian society.

Reil’s choice to devote time and attention to the care and the development of relations with institutional bodies and local representatives , has allowed the company  to develop  with full respect for  local needs and in good harmony with the environment.

The Headquarters of Reil are located  in the State of Bahia and the investments are focused on the splendid shores of this State, mostly still unspoilt.

On these gorgeous  shores Reil has  resorts, or better eco-resorts, private homes and residence, that softly fit into the natural environment whilst offering an important employment opportunity to local residents.
In the near future Reil intends to carry out further investments in the hospitality sector and also increase its presence in the catering segment in Europe. (www.Palladio-cafe.com)

Reil’s philosophy encourages to embrace an intelligent lifestyle and it is founded on the persuasion that this hectic life has slowly pulled people  away from  their origins and real needs, thus making people give up free time, personal relations and above all the relation with nature in all its expressions.

The founders of Reil are persuaded that the new frontier of well being is nowadays represented by the capacity to regain control over an intelligent lifestyle which will  have the person and his-her needs at the very centre of any choice.

Reil is moreover quite convinced that approaching arts would help recover the spirituality, serenity and  joy of living that are all inborn in people.

Accepting the invitation of Arte Laguna to sponsor the special prize within the international arts competition 2010-2011 of Arte Laguna, has consequently been a natural choice for Reil and allowing  a young artist to express his-her art on the walls of one of the dwellings in Reil’s resorts in Brazil, is a step in harmony with the search of  universal hospitality.

We are happy to have taken the opportunity Arte Laguna has offered us.
