Hello! Me and my two daughters ( 1 and 4) are very very interested in a long term exchange ! Are you still in? :)) Eva
We have cats and we are planning a two months exchange. Just need to have a back up person come check on them when our guest wants to go away for a little bit. I guess it is not for everyone.

Hello everyone, we would like to spend a month or so in a warm place before our oldest son starts school. We need a house for two adults and two children of 0 and 5 years old. The ideal would be a large house in which a friendly couple could also stay. But itās not essential. In return, we offer our apartment in the beautiful region of AllgƤu, at the foot of the Alps, in an ecological community. Thank you for your help
Long-term exchanges allow property owners to swap real estate for extended periods instead of selling. This strategy helps investors gain stable income and long-term appreciation. Real estate agents assist by evaluating properties and managing legal agreements. Such exchanges are ideal for markets with limited liquidity but strong future potential. They also help diversify portfolios while minimizing tax burdens. Overall, long-term exchanges create sustainable growth opportunities in real estate.

Hello everyone,
We are looking for a long-term home exchange of around one school year, ideally from the end of August 2026 until July 2027. Our preference would be for an English-speaking country.
We are a family of seven: two parents in our forties, both business owners who can work remotely, and five children aged 5 to 13. We are used to home exchanges and love the cultural and human experience they provide.
Our home is a manor house located in Annonay, in the ArdĆØche region of France. The area is calm, surrounded by nature, and close to excellent primary and secondary schools (primary, middle school, and high school). We also have a few pets to take care of.
If someone is interested in a long-term exchange or would like more information about the house, the region, or our family, feel free to contact us.
Looking forward to connecting!

Hi, Iāve been trying to figure out how to access long term exchange opportunities on the site for a while. Iāve been a member for 20+ yrs and have had great success. I recently spent 1 month in Barcelona and am looking for another month long exchange in either April/May or Sept/Oct of 2026. My top choices would be London, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Stockholm. Having said that please reach out if you have interest in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Not only can you visit SF, other top destinations near by include, Carmel/Monterey (2 1/2hrs) Lake Tahoe (3hrs) The Sonoma/Napa Wine region(45mins-1 1/2hrs depending upon destination).
Hi Jan,
Sounds like our place could be of interest to you 
Our duplex apartment in Haute Savoie, France is available for most of April and May and weāre looking guests wanting to stay for 1 month minimum. It would be guest points only as weāll be travelling to Costa Rica (although we lived in San Francisco previously and will likely visit again one day so Iāll definitely add your place to your favourites!).
Best, Rosina
Hi everyone!
My name is David and I live in La CoruƱa (Spain), but Iām offering my small house in Marco de Canaveses, Northern Portugal. Iām looking to trade the peaceful green hills for some Central European city vibes!
What Iām offering: A humble house in the heart of Northern Portugal (in the Douro Valley). If you like nature, wine and tranquility, this is it. During the summer, youāll have access to a massive swimming pool to survive the Portuguese sun.
Space for everyone: The house can host up to 6 people, so itās perfect for families or a group of friends. On my end, itās just me (and maybe my girlfriend visiting), so Iāll be a very quiet guest in your home.
What Iām looking for: I work 100% remotely on CET time (9h-18h), so Iām a bit of a ādesk nerd.ā I need a centric apartment in cities like Prague, Budapest or Krakow (altought open to other options) with a comfortable desk and a chair that wonāt destroy my back. I promise to be āinvisibleā during working hours and out exploring (and tasting your local beers) the rest of the time! No parties, no dramaājust a quiet guy working and traveling.
The āStay as long as you wantā Deal: Iām looking for a 1-month stay, but Iām super flexible. In fact, this is my secondary residence so you can actually stay in my house for longer if you want to truly experience the Portuguese āslow livingā.
Why Marco de Canaveses?
-
The Food: You havenāt lived until youāve tried the local Vinho Verde and the amazing Portuguese gastronomy (itās delicious and very affordable!).
-
Location: You are a 1 hour train/car ride away from the stunning Douro Valley (UNESCO World Heritage) and the vibrant city of Porto.
-
Peace: Itās the perfect place to disconnect while still having everything you need nearby.
Check out my home here: https://www.homeexchange.com/holiday-home/2335063
If you fancy a Portuguese summer by the pool while I take over your desk in the city, letās talk!
Cheers,
David
Bonjour!
I just saw your post and was wondering if an exchange in Montreal would be of interest to you? We are a family of 4 living in Verdun, a bilingual neighborhood alongside the fleuve St-Laurent and we are considering an 1/year exchange in France to be closer to my mother who moved to France. Our kids go to a bilingual school (English-French). I would be more than happy to introduce you to the school principal.
Here is our home : Marie-JosĆ©eās house
Let me know your thoughts!
Warmly,
MJ

Seeking long-term exchanges in various European city centers ā ideally one month, flexible
Lagos, Portugal ā Europe Ā· mid-July to late-September/early-October Ā· Adults only
Hello, fellow home exchangers. Evanne and Ray here ā a retired, active, and curious couple ā offering our beachside townhouse in Lagos, Portugal in exchange for a European city experience.
What weāre offering
Our whitewashed Algarvian townhome sits within a 15-minute walk of the Lagos Historic Center and the celebrated beaches of Praia Dona Ana, Camilo, Porto de MĆ³s, Ponta da Piedade ā and, of course, the spectacular grottos. The neighborhood puts you close to everything while keeping the noise and crowds at a comfortable distance.
A note on the home itself: our three-story layout features staircases and open-level terraces ā full of character, but best suited for adults. It is not the right fit for children or teenagers.
Where we want to go
Weāre looking for city-center flats in European cities that are new to us. Weāve traveled widely across the continent over the years, so we tend to get excited about destinations off the well-worn capital-city circuit. Our current wish list includes Lyon, Ghent, Copenhagen, Budapest, Munich, and Milan ā but weāre genuinely open. If you have a city to offer, weād love to hear about it.
Lisbon is a special case: weād welcome an exchange there in late spring or late fall/early winter, when itās quieter and more local. If youāre a Lisbon exchanger with flexibility across seasons, letās talk.
About us
We are published writers, photographers, videographers, and musicians ā curious about the world, and committed to experiencing it with intention. Weāre quiet, responsible, easy-going non-smokers who love good food, home cooking, local markets, and excellent coffee.
We bring a stellar track record to every exchange. As longtime users of Airbnb and Sabbatical Homes ā mostly month-long stays, with a few shorter ones ā our guest reviews are consistently 5-star, and we are always welcome back. The reason is simple: wherever we stay is where we live, and we take pride in caring for our surroundings.
Dates & flexibility
Our travel window runs from mid-July through late-September/early-October, ideally one destination per month. Duration is something weāre happy to shape around the right partnership ā weāre not rigid about the calendar. If the fit is right, weāll find a way to make it work.
Sound like a match?
Good homes and good people are the whole point.
We would love an exchange with digital nomads, empty-nesters, and curious couples (or four adults) that want to experience memorable seaside living in exchange for their European city-center home.
If that sounds like you, get in touch ā weād love to explore the possibilities.
Hello,
We are a family of 5 and looking for a long term exchange for July - August 2026. We live in the suburb of Amsterdam, in Badhoevedorp. You can easily bike to the city or use public transport.
We do prefer somewhere to spend our summer holiday and enjoy the beach but we are open for any suggestions.
Here you can see our home;
Feel free to reach out if you have any exchange ideas.
Thank you
Duygu
POLAND on your wish list? Our home is available for JUNE 2026 and most of JULY!
