Lontano is home swapping with people you trust.

We’ve built this community for those who want a more personal, meaningful travel experience. Whether you’re looking to host friends or swap homes for a remote work stint, Lontano makes it easy and comfortable to connect with others in your network.

Here’s how it works:

1. Browse Homes Shared by Your Circle

Once you join Lontano, you can start by browsing homes shared by your friends or friends of friends. It’s an invite-only platform, so you’re never just looking at random homes. Every listing is from someone you know or someone connected to your circle. You’ll find places to stay across cities, countries, and continents—all within a network you can trust.

2. Add Your Own Home

When you’re ready, you can list your own home on Lontano. We make it easy to get started with a draft mode so you can fine-tune your listing. You control what details to share and can preview everything before making it public. Think of it as opening your door to your friends, but on your terms.

3. Set Your Privacy Levels

Lontano is all about privacy and control. Once your home is ready, you can choose who gets to see it. You can start by sharing with just your close friends, then, as you feel more comfortable, you can expand visibility to friends of friends.

If you want to open your listing to the entire Lontano network, you can upgrade to a PRO subscription and access even more homes yourself.

You decide who sees your home and who you’re open to swapping with. The choice is yours every step of the way.

4. Add Availabilities for Hosting or Swapping

If you’re ready to host or swap, you can add availability dates to your listing. This way, your friends (or friends of friends) can easily see when you’re open to having guests or when you’re planning to be away and ready to swap. It’s a simple way to coordinate, and you can adjust it anytime as your plans evolve.

5. Message Hosts Directly Through Lontano

One of the best parts of Lontano is how it takes the awkwardness out of reaching out. If you see a home you’re interested in, you can message the host directly through Lontano. Because everyone is connected through trusted relationships, it’s easier and more comfortable to start a conversation. No awkward introductions or worrying about asking for a favor—Lontano is built to make this part seamless.

6. Free for Friends (and friends of friends)

Lontano is free for you and your friends. You can share homes, browse listings, and swap with friends without any cost. But if you want to expand beyond your immediate circle and access the wider Lontano network, a paid subscription opens up a world of possibilities. More homes, more places, more adventures—all at your fingertips.

Why Lontano?

At its heart, Lontano is about making travel better and more connected. It’s a platform that helps you live in more than one place, take better care of homes and pets, and experience new cities through the eyes of friends—all without the hassle of dealing with strangers or the high cost of accommodations. Whether you’re hosting or traveling, you’re doing it with the trust and comfort of a network that knows you.
