Welcome to ViA
Veïns i Amfitrions de Catalunya
Become a responsible host by renting out rooms in your home, backed by a supportive community.
We provide legal and tax advice, information and ongoing training.
What is a host?
A host is a neighbour who shares their own home with visitors by occasionally renting out rooms in their usual place of residence.
About us
Just like you, at ViA we all are, or have been, hosts in our own homes.
We've all enjoyed unforgettable experiences welcoming guests from all over the world, making new friends and, in some cases, even finding love!
But don't worry… that's not compulsory…
