The future is hybrid, so balancing work, life, travel, and leisure is crucial. Our accommodation belongs to a small community living concept for like-minded people to live, work, and play together.
Working is good, but our colivers must also feed their minds and body. Thus, we have developed fantastic activities, like barbecue parties, pizza tornados, board game challenges, darts championships, and outdoor adventure events.

This was the first coliving that shaped the start of my journey as a digital nomad, and Alexandre, Mimi, their dog Noah, and the amazing community here have set the bar so high. From the very beginning I felt at home, filled with warmth and kindness.The place itself is breathtaking, truly magical. It’s surrounded by nature, full of peace, an escape from all the noise, connecting you deeply to the world and the people around you. It’s the perfect mix of productivity and fun. You learn so much from the people you meet, and the events, such as waterfall tours, live music, DJs, and local festivals, make it even more special. They’re also super accommodating, happily giving you a ride into town when needed, providing delicious baked goods each week, and so much more. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience in this new lifestyle!
We went to the mountains searching for peace, and we truly found it. After living several months in the city, we longed for a quiet environment where the sounds of nature could erase the constant noise from our memory.
At The Valley we didn’t just find a place to stay, we found a home. The warmth of Alex and Mimi, the sweet affection of Noah the dog, and the friendship of our fellow colivers turned these months in the mountains into magical memories that will last.
From the folkloric dances of the local festivals to the landscapes we discovered every morning on our walks, with fruit trees, the kind greetings of neighbors, and the songs of birds that never failed us, everything became part of an unforgettable experience.
The house was a lovely place to stay. The room, common areas, and beautiful yard provided great spots to relax and enjoy the stunning view. The surroundings were beautiful. The room, working space, and yard offered excellent areas to focus and get work done when needed. It was a great place to stay in every way for us.
Staying at the VALLEY Coliving was a pleasant, convenient, and at the same time, life-enriching experience. As we are now moving to Portugal after a few "scouting trips", my wife an I knew that the northern region of the country would be an excellent fit for our first month. The coliving space allowed me to be productive at work "from day one"; the fact that other young travelers from so many different countries were also there, and that we had a dedicated space for doing our computer-stuff, made us socialize in a relaxed way and not forget to keep things professional during the weekdays - otherwise we could happen to relax "too much" :) as the region is surrounded by mountains, rivers, trees, sheeps etc. For me it was the exact balance of nature nearby, and complete urban structure less than 4km away. Alex and Mimi are very helpful. Sweet pastries in the sunday morning, Pizza and drinks to get to know better our colleagues, all these details give the final touch to our stay. Definitely recommended!
With its locations’ lush greeneries and serene environment, The Valley is a perfect place if you are looking to unwind and be one with nature.
If you like hiking, there are some trails around the area that goes into the forrest that you can follow. It’s also possible to run through the trails. There is also a pool that you can use anytime and a garden where you can have a good view while working.
The sunsets at The Valley were my favorite thing. It humbles and slows you down a little. The best sunset view is probably from the Gorgeous room. The room is so spacious too!
Fresh breads and some treats were provided and they were good. Not to mention, Alex was very attentive and patient in making sure everyone’s needs are accommodated.
Superb experience!
Alex and Mimi are top notch hosts. I stayed for one month and I have no complaint!
Special mention for the TVs in all bedrooms!
Our month-long stay at Alex and Mimi's place in Portugal was simply unforgettable. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views that make you appreciate life every day. The property is kept spotless, with weekly cleaning that ensured our comfort throughout our stay.
We loved the pleasant walk to the main town, which kept us fit and allowed us to explore local cafes and immerse ourselves in Portuguese culture. But what truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality of Alex and Mimi and the sense of community they've created.
Alex and Mimi went above and beyond:
- Airport pickup and drop-off
- Weekly food shopping trips
- Help with personal appointments
- Surprise treats that always appeared when we needed them most
- Tours to amazing local sites, including a gorgeous nearby waterfall
We had fantastic BBQs with other guests in the co-working space, forming friendships we're sure will last. The value for money here is incredible, considering all the extra touches and personalized experiences.
If you're considering a stay in Portugal, don't hesitate to book with Alex and Mimi. This place is a true hidden gem. From arrival to departure, every day was filled with warmth, adventure, and genuine hospitality. The beautiful location, welcoming hosts, and charming local town combined to create an absolutely perfect stay. We're already planning our return!
