Fica aqui.
Your place, anywhere. We built Ficaqui because finding a safe, verified home abroad shouldn't be this hard.
Ficaqui was born from a simple idea — that finding a home abroad should be safe, transparent, and honest. Too many people have been scammed, shown fake listings, or had their personal address exposed to strangers before even paying.
We built a 3-stage address reveal system that protects both guests and hosts. We verify every identity. We hold payments securely until check-in is confirmed. We include safety guides, scam alerts and emergency numbers for every destination — for free.
We charge 13% total commission — less than Airbnb, less than Booking.com — because we believe hosts should keep more of what they earn.
Ficaqui is launching soon in Portugal, England and 40+ countries. We're starting with the markets we know best, and growing from there.
Fica aqui — your place, anywhere.
