about us
We didn’t start samesame to build a brand.
We started because we needed to find our people. Yes, the ones moving with the same pulse.
Since 2018, we’ve been holding space in Lisbon for people to drift in, stay for a while, and find their own rhythm.
Locals, internationals, friends, strangers: they come for a few nights or a few months.
They all leave lighter. Or fuller. Or just… different.
Yes, we have two buildings, coworking, and a new venue coming. But the real story is what unfolds inside.
Talks that start in the kitchen. Dinners that turn into rituals.
Spontaneous ideas. Shared silences. Some call it connection. Some call it love.
We just know these are the kind of moments that don’t need a flyer.
Here, life happens in lowercase.
No performance. No big claims. Just honest presence. Not for everyone.
Just for those who get it.
And if you do — welcome in.

the neighbourhood
In every direction, something old, something moving.
Cais do Sodré, Chiado, Carmo. The Cathedral, Castles.
Tiles, corners, balconies, stories. Baixa is Lisbon’s heart: loud, luminous, unapologetically alive.
It’s all happening around us. samesame is what happens in between.
