About Us

We have chosen to have a global vision of our activity based on humanism and sustainability.

Grupo Libertas

As a real estate agency, Home In Portugal is part of a real estate and hospitality group – Grupo Libertas.

What was left behind guides us towards our future aspirations.

Our company’s history is the strongest testament to our commitment to our vision. Over more than three decades, we have consistently grown in line with our principles. This success stems largely from our unified core, where the Gonçalves family embodies our vision every day.

Initially focused on construction, we now engage in comprehensive real estate activities, encompassing architecture, construction, and development. We create new projects and rehabilitate historic properties in unique locations.
In 2005 and 2006, we diversified into tourism, organic farming, and renewable energy, realizing our vision of a sustainable, green, and global company.
The subsequent years saw steady growth, expanding into countries like France, Sweden, and Brazil, while increasing our activities in Portugal.
We also ventured into catering, a natural extension of creating vibrant real estate clusters.

In short, we are proud of our past and excited about our future.

The Libertas Group has chosen to ensure that all its areas of activity complement each other, creating projects that are as self-sustaining as possible.

Sharing resources to share efficiency

Whenever you share resources, you save and you learn! This reasoning guides Libertas’ offer in the business segment, where we have opted for a set of spaces that enable the sharing of transversal functionalities across various companies. In this way, economic efficiency is boosted, in addition to energy efficiency, and there is also time for each person to truly dedicate to the growth of their project.

Many Square Meters of Experience

Real estate is undeniably the core of Grupo Libertas. Over the years, we’ve transformed our extensive experience into valuable wisdom, mastering the three pillars of our industry: creation, construction, and promotion.

Our growing project portfolio, driven by our vision, contributes to a more sustainable and enjoyable world.

Through our international real estate agencies, Home in Portugal and Maison au Portugal, we cater to diverse markets, extending our expertise and commitment to excellence across borders.

Libertas Projects

All our knowledge at the service of your investment

Libertas has a profound knowledge about the real estate market, which allows them to professionally and safely help to monetise the investments in this area. We operate, primarily, in the hospitality segment, where we have a differentiating service. In the entire tourism product, we guarantee total quality through our operations, or within a careful choice of hotel operators. In the case of holiday homeowners, we offer rental management services, contracting supplies, among others. This way, you do not have to worry about anything, except getting a return on your investment.

Making those who are in our house feel at home

Libertas is also present in the tourism sector, offering quality in urban areas, as well as, locations with privileged natural surroundings. The Upon Lisbon unit and the Praia do Sal resort are excellent examples. Two diverse environments where the same demand and attention to detail are revealed from the first “good morning!”

We whet your appetite for cuisines from different origins

Restaurants are a natural evolution for those who create community-generating projects. Our restaurants serve these communities and all those who appreciate good Portuguese or even Italian food. Care to try?

LIBEROFFICE

At the epicentre of Lisbon, in the heart of Avenida da Liberdade, is Libertas’ proposal for the future of many companies: LiberOffice. In this high-quality business building, we rent out offices and meeting rooms for internal or external companies. Those who wish can also have their virtual office here, as we provide companies with a tax and commercial address.

Economically sustainable, ecologically unavoidable

Libertas’ entry into renewable energies was a natural process. After all, if sustainability is one of our pillars, it has become essential to follow this path. Therefore, the purchase of the hydroelectric power station in 2006, and the creation of the photovoltaic power station in 2009, was the materialisation of an old vision, which aimed to enable the supply of green energy to our projects.

Return to our roots

Libertas has several farms where agriculture is carried out with respect for nature’s cycles, without using chemical pesticides and taking local biodiversity into account. Among other destinations, these farms supply our restaurants and several of our real estate projects. And everyone realises that this form of agriculture has another flavour.

A level of demand that only we understand

Libertas does not like to get rid of anything. We have a way of working and a standard of excellence that we never waiver. As such, we take on each new project until it becomes real, which involves creation, construction and promotion.

Our choices

SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABILITY

If Libertas did not have a green philosophy guiding an important part of its vision, it would not be Libertas. Its form of action would be different, the areas to which it has spread its activity would be different and even its logo would have a different shape. Sustainability is and always will be one of the fundamental principles of this Group.

HUMANISM
HUMANISM

Everything we do has a clear purpose; improving the lives of everyone we come across. We are talking about all those who choose to live or work in the spaces we create. We are also talking about our team and our partners. With all of them, we have created a relationship that is demanding but that continues in respectability and mutual growth.

DIVERSITY
DIVERSITY

Libertas’ concept of intervention is global. In most cases, we do not want to set something up then leave. Our objective is that each one of our real estate projects creates a community that can help perpetuate a sustainable way of life. Because of this, we get involved in areas such as organic farming, renewable energy and restoration. With these activities we serve the community we have created, adding value to it.

Time to go green

The 30 years of Libertas’ history have been dedicated to the design and delivery of houses. In this period, we have continued to grow, learn and evolve with enthusiasm.

We have overcome many challenges and difficulties with honest humility and by keeping our permanent focus on improvement and on fulfilling our commitments.

We have progressively incorporated several areas of the real estate sector into our activity and today we are a fully vertically integrated group. At present, Libertas has the autonomy to conceive, design, build and commercialise comprehensive urbanisation projects, as can be seen in the diversified portfolio we manage.
