How it all began
Taking on from their own experience of studying abroad, our founders have a first-hand understanding of how important it is to live in quality housing whilst undergoing your studies. Having comfortable and en-suite private rooms with double beds, modern buildings and amenities, the opportunity to meet students from different backgrounds and being close to campus truly matters.
On their return to Portugal, our founders noted the poor offering of residences on the market, causing most students to rent apartments either by themselves or in groups of 2 or 3, and often without real contracts - which caused great problems to many of them. This also made it a lot harder for students to meet new people and build a solid group of friends to truly experience university life with.
Since we believe that university can be one of the best times of your life, we decided to give this beautiful country the student residences it deserves... StudentVille was born!
Our advantages
We're World class!
StudentVille presents you with purpose-built student residences in Lisbon and Coimbra which have been carefully designed to be the best, based on our main pillars:
Rooms - All of our rooms are individual with double beds (bigger than the beds of most of our competitors) and en-suite bathrooms to ensure your privacy. All have air-conditioning, a mini-fridge, and plenty of storage space to provide you with quality and comfort. Furthermore, all have a desk (and the studios have a private kitchen) so that you can study in peace and silence in your room.
Location - All of our residences are located near the main universities and have good access to public transport. They are also close to supermarkets, stores, bars and restaurants, so that our customers have everything they need!
Residence - We believe that more is better, so we always include more and better amenitites in our residences, including interior and exterior areas, games and cinema rooms - so that you can watch your favourite series and football games -, a gym for you to keep healthy, all the basics that you'll need (such as laundry rooms and kitchens), amongst others. And of course, for those (many) hot days, pools!
Community - We believe that a residence is way more than just a place for you to sleep, but rather a community you should be able to enjoy. This is why we have designed our residences to create the best opportunities for you to make friends, and our amazing staff will be a part of your family, helping you with all that you need, and organizing events to make sure you have a good time, stay healthy, and meet your new BFF's!
Tourism
In the Summer
Visiting Portugal for the Summer? You're in luck! As our students return home for the Summer months of July and August, we transform into a brilliant guest-house providing you with a great place to stay. During the day you can explore everything Lisbon or Coimbra have to offer, and in the evening you return to the comfort of a modern home with all of the amenities you could possibly need on a holiday.
Make use of our gym, go for a swim in the pool, and make use of our living areas, kitchens and laundries - from comfort to practicality, our community is definitely a brilliant option for your stay. Deal with a professional company rather than private homeowners, and rest assured that you will be coming home to a clean and safe residence.
