Paw alert: This is a pet-friendly house, home to two friendly French Bulldogs who love meeting new people.
Tucked away in the Monchique mountains, this villa offers a peaceful and rejuvenating space for digital nomads looking to balance work and lifestyle. Surrounded by lush forest yet only 25 minutes from the Algarve coast, it’s the perfect spot to slow down without losing connection.
Accommodation options include private, twin, and triple rooms, plus a loft studio lounge ideal for larger groups. Most rooms feature en-suite bathrooms. Bright interiors open directly to nature, while coworking areas with reliable high-speed Wi-Fi ensure you can stay productive. The shared kitchen makes home-style cooking easy, and common spaces—from the large terrace with sea and mountain views to cozy lounges and outdoor gardens—invite both focus and relaxation.
In your free time, join hikes, yoga sessions, or simply unwind by the indoor fireplace or outdoor firepit under the stars. Your host, Rita, makes everyone feel welcome, while resident French Bulldogs Oscar and Olivia add an extra touch of warmth to the community.
Each week, you’ll find opportunities to connect through suggested or hosted activities—Portuguese cooking workshops, morning hikes, trips to the local market, spa days, Sunday barbecues, or group dinners at nearby restaurants.
The Algarve is famous for its year-round sunshine and mild seasons, making this house an ideal setting whether you’re here for a short creative retreat or a longer workation. It’s a calm, functional base designed to help you stay productive, recharge, and connect with like-minded people.
Note: We’re currently working on our garden forest and adding a swimming pool. While there may be some visual inconvenience during your stay, the pool is expected to be ready by September.

Location
Monchique
Monchique is a charming mountain town surrounded by dense forest. Small but full of character, it offers all the essentials—restaurants, cafés, a pharmacy, local markets, gas stations, and other conveniences—while maintaining a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.
The Monchique mountains are a paradise for hikers, with dozens of marked trails to explore. Highlights include Barranco do Demo, the dramatic Foia Peak (the highest point in the Algarve with breathtaking views), and the historic Caldas de Monchique, a thermal spa area just a 20-minute walk away.
The local food scene is a delicious contrast to the Algarve coast. Here, you’ll find specialties like black pork (the famous Iberian pork), octopus and squid stews, grilled fish, and the iconic spicy chicken piri-piri. For the adventurous, don’t miss Medronho, the fiery local spirit said to be excellent for digestion.
A couple of restaurants are within walking distance of the property, making it easy to enjoy authentic local flavors. Just a 5-minute walk from the gate, you’ll also find a bus stop with direct connections to the coast. In just 25 minutes, you can reach the nearest seaside town to enjoy the beach, water sports, surf lessons, cultural events, cinema, and much more.
Monchique blends the tranquility of the mountains with easy access to the coast, offering the best of both worlds.
