Living at this coliving is much more than just a room and a desk with good internet. Here, you'll find a shared space that promotes balance between work, rest, learning, and meaningful connections. We welcome you into our family, where self-regeneration and sustainable living are our purpose.
We're connected with the local community, and we organise various activities, whether for adventure or to relax. We offer yoga/pilates classes, climbing gear, and hiking in the Serra do Sicó, and we have bikes available!
You can stay in a private room or in a shared dorm. Our bathrooms are shared, as well as the kitchen. Colivers have the choice to cook for themselves or through a community system (each person cooks at a time for everyone).
For remote working, you can enjoy the coworking spaces we offer (indoors and outdoors), and if you need privacy, there are desks in each bedroom. Furthermore, we also offer access to a private coworking room in the centre of one of the nearest towns (Soure). Every space mentioned has WIFI access.
You can bring your own car (we have free parking spots!), come by public transport (train and bus), or take a taxi.
