Vibrant Coliving Community in Central Baixa with Cultural Experiences and Creative Spaces
We are a movement that values a sense of community. We create spaces that prioritize interpersonal relationships, celebrate cultural exchanges, and create opportunities for new meetings. It's here that you'll be able to experience the city like a local, enjoy a balanced quality of life, explore new activities, work in peace, and make lifelong friends. Join this ecosystem and find a place to rest, work, and linger.
Founded by a Portuguese team who believed in the power of community, samesame became Europe’s first community-driven coliving and Lisbon’s very first coliving. Since opening our doors in May 2018, we’ve brought together people from around the globe, offering a unique coliving experience that feels like a second home. Here, you can immerse yourself in Portuguese culture, make meaningful new connections, and enjoy a peaceful workspace.
The samesame complex includes two coliving buildings — Beco and Madalena — a dedicated coworking area, and an open terrace designed for internal community events. Together, these spaces create a complete experience: a cozy home away from home, a calm and focused place to work, and a welcoming environment that brings the community together through shared activities.
Our charming nest is ideal for activities, classes, events, tours, dinners, workshops, and social interactions. We welcome locals and internationals of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds to connect through our weekly agenda. These events range from sports and social activities to festive, educational, and cultural happenings, making each experience truly special.
Embark on this family journey with us. Join us and immerse yourself in an environment that fosters connections, celebrates diverse cultures, and cherishes memories.

Baixa
On one side, there are Cais do Sodré, Chiado, and Carmo. On the other, the Cathedral and the hill of Castelo de São Jorge. The Baixa neighborhood, which is bathed by the Tagus River, is the most central area in Lisbon, offering all kinds of commerce and access to various forms of transportation. The iconic architecture, traditional tiled facades, and pervasive Portuguese romanticism are integral to the neighborhood’s DNA. There is no chance of getting bored around here.
