Trusted Partner — Home ExchangeTrade your Lisbon, Porto, or Algarve home for free stays anywhere
HomeExchange is a global home-swap network. List your Portuguese home; stay in someone else’s home for free anywhere in the world. Annual membership replaces hotel and Airbnb costs. Especially powerful once you’ve settled in Portugal — your apartment is desirable to other members.
Join HomeExchange →Once you’ve settled in Lisbon, Porto, or the Algarve, your home is exactly the kind of property other HomeExchange members want to experience. List your apartment in the network, exchange directly with another member (you stay in theirs while they stay in yours) or use HomeExchange’s GuestPoints currency for non-reciprocal stays. The annual membership pays for itself the first time you stay in someone’s Paris flat for a week.
Direct exchanges
You stay in their home while they stay in yours — same dates or different dates.
GuestPoints currency
When direct exchange isn’t feasible, use GuestPoints to stay in any home in the network.
160+ countries
180,000+ homes worldwide — perfect for U.S. trips back home or weekend Europe travel.
Why expats in Portugal love HomeExchange
Your apartment in Lisbon’s Príncipe Real, Porto’s Foz, or the Algarve coast is in HIGH demand on the network. That gives you outsized leverage — your listing is desirable, so other members are willing to host you in return. Use it for U.S. visits home (stay in a member’s home in your old neighborhood for free) or for European weekend trips. Annual membership cost is recouped on a single 5-night stay.
