I had such a beautiful stay here! Unfortunately only 3 days, but it felt longer as it felt so familiar from the first minute!
In these 3 days I got an amazing surf theory lesson. I already had some surfing skills but the theory was very important for me to learn more. The surf lessons itself was amazing! Chico knows exactly what he's doing and I learned a lot in such a short time. And also the breathwork was amazing! 😍 Breathwork in the morning at the beach with a swim in the fresh Atlantic. Such a beautiful connection to ourselves and nature. On my last evening we had a community dinner. Everyone organized something for it. It was so lovely. And the house, the garden, the vision of chico and Liam are just beautiful. I definitely wanna come back.
This place truly felt like coming home. My partner and I stayed for just a week, but we would have loved to stay longer. The house and garden are beautiful and incredibly peaceful. Chico is a fantastic host and a genuinely kind person. We really enjoyed learning more about permaculture and were happy to contribute by helping out in the garden (no need to, but you can if you like).
The community dinner and bonfire were also very nice. The house is literally right in front of the bus station, making it easy to get around. The beach is about a 30-minute walk or just a few minutes by bus.
We’re certain we’ll return to this special place in the future!
Loved this place! Learnt how to surf from Chico who is a great friend, funny & down to earth guy! Thanks for the stay. Definitely will come back.Here are some pics ! Liam & Chico are working hard on improving the place and truly live by their principles. The neighbourhood is very friendly and close to fun places for nightlife like Ericeira! Had fun going out for dinners and dancing too. Thank you ! Love K
This place is a gem! 🌻 Francisco and Liam are so kind and warm, and I am super grateful to have spent a week here and connect with them, other co-livers and the beautiful cats.
Also had the best surfing class with Francisco. His approach to surf and teaching is truly inspiring and will leave you wanting to get back in the water asap! 🌊
I came at Vivenda Felicidade to explore permaculture principles in real life, to slow down and connect more deeply to myself. I found a peaceful retreat with two special cats, Meko and Gala, a quiet rhythm, and a beautiful garden. Chico, the owner generously shared his passion for the land, the evolving story of the farm and helped me understand better permaculture through immersive tours in the garden.
I left feeling more grounded and hopeful that places like these will continue to attract the right people in order to continue to develop and grow.
I stayed for 3 weeks and absolutely loved it! Chico is an exceptional host - welcoming, knowledgeable, and always ready to share his passion for sustainable living. The house is a beautiful traditional building, nestled in a tranquil rural setting that offers a deep connection to nature. While a car is helpful for exploring the surrounding areas, you can also get around with public transport.
I met other inspiring travelers and shared unforgettable moments. The highlights were long walks by the seaside cliffs, joint dinners and bonfire evenings with the other guests.
If you're seeking an authentic, peacefull and nature-filled experience, this place is a gem. Highly recommended!
This place was exactly what I needed - calm, quiet and safe space where I could connect to myself and nature. Here I met beautiful people who I shared precious moments with.
Chico is a wise soul with an open and giving heart. He's super nice and helpful.
The cats are so adorable, they gave me a lot of love and support.
The rooms are very big and spacious and everything was well organized and clean.
It's very close to an amazing beach and a magical stream in the forest.
The bus station just outside makes it very easy to go anywhere around.
Thank you Vivenda Felicidade,
I'm very grateful for this experience 🙏🌳✨️
