This modern, high-quality coliving in Funchal, Madeira, is designed for remote workers who value comfort, focus, and a calm living environment.
The house is spread over several floors, which gives it an open and spacious feel rather than a typical shared flat. There are generous common areas, multiple terraces and balconies with views, and enough space to work, relax, and socialize without feeling crowded.
Each private room is fully furnished and set up for remote work, including a proper desk, ergonomic chair, and external monitor. Storage space is sufficient for longer stays, making the house well suited for medium- to long-term residents.
The shared areas include a large living room with a smart TV, a dedicated coworking area, and several outdoor spaces. The fully equipped kitchen comes with a dishwasher, coffee machine, oven, air fryer, smoothie maker, filtered water, and all essential cookware and utensils.
The spacious bathrooms are equipped with walk-in showers. Towels, bed linen, and laundry facilities are provided. Regular cleaning of common areas is included, along with periodic linen changes.
The coliving hosts a small group of like-minded residents, mostly remote professionals in their late 20s to 40s. The atmosphere is social but respectful, with a strong focus on quiet work hours during the day.
The location and existing network make it a breeze to join local digital nomad events, meetups, hikes, and activities happening around Funchal.
This coliving is ideal for people looking for a well-maintained, thoughtfully equipped coliving with a calm, professional vibe in one of Madeira’s most convenient locations.

Community
Community & Typical Residents
The community is made up of remote workers, freelancers, and independent professionals who are looking for a comfortable, well-run place to live while working from Madeira. Most residents stay for several weeks to a few months and value stability, routine, and a respectful shared environment.
The atmosphere is social but calm. People are generally open to conversations, shared meals, or occasional activities, but there is no pressure to participate. Quiet work hours during the day are respected, and the house is not suited for party-focused stays.
Residents typically range from their late 20s to 40s and come from diverse international backgrounds. Many work full-time online and appreciate having proper workspaces, reliable internet, and enough space to focus.
Community Mission
The mission is to create a small, high-quality coliving environment where people can combine productive remote work with a balanced, grounded everyday life. Rather than organizing constant events, the focus is on providing the right setting: a comfortable home, good infrastructure, and an atmosphere that naturally supports connection when it feels right.
The space is designed to attract people who value respect, independence, and shared responsibility while enjoying the benefits of living with like-minded individuals. The goal is to offer a stable base where residents can work, recharge, and feel at home in Madeira, without the intensity or noise of large-scale coliving hubs.

Santa Luzia
The property is located in Santa Luzia, a residential neighborhood just above Funchal’s city center. The area is known for its local feel, hillside setting, and open views over the city and surrounding mountains.
From the house, cafés, bakeries, supermarkets, and small local shops are within walking distance. You can easily reach the city center and the seafront on foot, eliminating the need for a car for daily errands and social plans.
Santa Luzia is well connected to the rest of Funchal and sits close to many popular digital nomad meetups, coworking spaces, and events. Thanks to its central position, it’s easy to join community activities, fitness classes, hikes, and social gatherings happening around the city.
While it’s possible to live comfortably here without a vehicle, renting a scooter or car is recommended if you want to explore more of Madeira, including hikes, beaches, viewpoints, and more remote parts of the island.
The neighborhood offers a good balance between everyday convenience and a relaxed residential atmosphere, making it a practical base for both work and island life.
