Live. Share. Speak.
Live like a local, with a family that expects you

Why with a family
You come to live like a local, from day one.
What you gain when you choose a verified local family: language, company and a city lived from the inside.
A home that expects you
Someone welcomes you, shows you the city and introduces you to people. You land accompanied from day one.
Land without getting lost
Your family shows you how everything works: neighbourhood, transport, daily life. And if you need the padrón (town-hall registration), we prioritise families willing to register you.

A real story
The first stay already happened
Sylvie, our first guest, lived for over a month with Maribel and her family in Valencia: shared meals, real-life Spanish and a house that stopped feeling foreign within the first week. Every stay is built like this: by hand, person to person.
- Over 30 days of living together
- Valencia, spring 2026
- A match made by hand, not by algorithm

Frequently asked questions
What is HomieNow?
You live like a local: you share a home with a verified local family. We hand-pick the one that fits you and stay by your side during the stay.
How much does it cost?
There are three packages: Spark (€49), Match (€499) and Bond (€999). The stay is paid separately, directly to the family. On the free 15-min call we guide you to the right one.
How long can I stay?
As long as you need: duration is flexible, from short stays to long seasons. We talk it through on the call.
Which cities are you in?
Wherever you want to live. We have families published in several cities and we work on demand: if you want another city, village or island, we recruit a family there.
What if the family is not a fit?
Write to us and we help: Match includes 1 free family change and Bond includes changes throughout the stay. And if we never deliver the promised families, you get 100% back.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
It is not required. Each family lists the languages they speak on their profile, and many speak English or other languages.
Want to become a host family?
You decide who you host, when and how. You set your price. We bring you the right person.
