Serpa Pinto Home

Welcome to our home—it's not perfect, but it's full of life.  In a small town near Lisbon, this space is all about comfort, art, and authenticity. It’s a place for people who are looking for more than just a place to crash—it’s for those who want to connect with others, share stories, and find a sense of belonging among fellow creatives, thinkers, and wanderers. We try our best to give you the greatest experience possible! However, the apartment itself is over 150 years old, and its walls have witnessed the passage of countless lives. Sound travels through the walls here; it is what it is. I put my heart and soul into building this place with loved ones, and I can assure you you will not find another place like this in Vila Franca De Xira. You’ll hear the neighbors, their footsteps, their voices—a raw, real glimpse into authentic everyday Portuguese life. If you're after the polished, isolated experience, this isn't it. But if you want something real, a bit messy, and full of soul, you're in the right place.

Our community is a work in progress, a space created to rest while sparking creativity. Though we are close to the city, we remain in a charming village where time feels timeless. Our greatest desire is to welcome adventurous and creative souls who are building a lifestyle of greater calm and love. We aim for genuine interest in one another, where experiences are shared in a meaningful and enriching way. Here, art, work, and well-being blend in harmony, nourishing the soul. It’s a place where personal growth and connection with others are encouraged, fostering an environment where everyone can find inspiration and contribute to the community. We invite you to be part of this unique experience, a co-living space for artists, entrepreneurs & nomads working in the creative space.

Vila Franca has a unique charm that invites you to slow down and embrace a different pace of life. There’s no rush, no noise here—just a perfect opportunity to hit reset, step back from the hectic day-to-day, and finally make space for what truly matters to you. Whether it’s starting or continuing a project, spending more time with yourself, or connecting with others on a similar journey, this place is for those looking to breathe and reflect. Just steps away, you’ll find a stunning park by the river, ideal for relaxing, taking a peaceful walk, practicing yoga, or simply being present. Around town, you’ll discover cozy cafés and restaurants with that warm, unmistakable Portuguese vibe. If you love delicious food, you’re in for a treat, and if you’re into slow living and soaking in the moment, Vila Franca offers the calm you crave. Even though we’re tucked away in tranquility, Lisbon’s vibrant energy is just a short ride away. The train station is two minutes from our door, and in 30 minutes, you can dive right into the pulse of the city if you ever feel the need for a change of pace.
