โ๏ธ Shorter or longer stays possible - just send an enquiry or put your desired dates in the questions and answer section ๐ Please look up "The Luzia House Funchal" for more infos and photos :)
๐๏ธ Have you already thought about visiting one of the warmest and most paradisiacal and natural places in Europe? โ๏ธ Have you visited the island before (maybe even thinking of how to locate or live there for longer) or is it your dream to experience the Hawaii of Europe?
โฅ๏ธ You can now spend some adventurous and exciting weeks or months with a wonderful, relaxed group of active, open-minded and relaxed nomads that I have carefully selected right in the vibrant capital of Madeira (Funchal), an island of Portugal located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
โ๏ธ You will be staying in the "The Luzia House | Coliving" - a very spacious, newly renovated villa with gardens, terraces and balconies that allow for daily sunbathing. and sea views ;) The Colivers like to get some work done during the week (we have everything ready to support you to work seamlessly and focussed - serenity, ultra-fast Wi-Fi, lots of space and tables, monitors, work-out mats, personal-development books etc.). We also like to soak in the sun on the terrace, go running on the nature paths or grab a coffee at one of the many places nearby. On other days, we take a dip in the sea, hike around nearby Levadas and forests, take a stroll to the Co-Working venue in the close neighbourhood or relax in some spa afterwards.
๐ฅณ After work, the community loves to go on little adventures: Let it be a hike through the mountains or on the nearby cliffs, some of the many Nomad Events happening in the city centre, a social gathering, a cosy bar or delicious restaurant, a karaoke night or jam session, a calming yoga or meditation session, a match of tennis, ping-pong, board-games, volleyball or squash or just a casual sunset meet-up: The list of options and things to do with other like-minded people is nearly endless.
๐ The Coliving group prefers to go with the flow, check the weather conditions first, and decide by communicating with the rest on what they would like to do each day in a rather spontaneous way.
๐ There is a possibility to share a car or 125cc Scooter amongst some Coliving people. Costs are split and paid for by each nomad during their stay. We have some good offers with great discounts for Nomads :)
๐ Due to several factors as the extremely high demand, Madeira's housing and car rental market has become a bit crazy, and often it's very hard to find any (affordable) accommodation, small flats with a single bedroom in Funchal cost about 100โฌ-150โฌ on average per night. So this is a great opportunity for those not only seeking a rather affordable place to stay, but also amazing, up-lifting company and useful tips from an experienced expat. ๐ฅ๐
I am an expat in Madeira since the beginning of 2021. I have explored large parts of the island through my very frequent hiking trips. I became addicted to going the wild road, the off-the-beaten-path, to find ways that very few have seen before. Before that, I have travelled the world and lived abroad in several countries for over 10 years. I love to bring people together, and organising trips to show people the beauty of new places became a big passion of mine.
Unfortunately, even the biggest passion can compete with one's work-life-balance and bring too much stress and lack of time into one's life. So I redirected my path of bringing people together and showing them the beauty of places by creating social and positive Colivings in several places in Madeira. I still pass over my knowledge, insiders and secret tips of great places to visit, events to attend and people to meet. But I am not physically present all the time any more, and I let people take the lead by themselves sometimes to decide where they want to go next โบ๏ธ
This will be your base for the magical stay. ๐ก You will be staying in a very large, modern, cosy room in a spacious bright, sun flooded apartment with a beautiful sea view ๐โ๏ธ
๐ Each room is equipped with a desk, a shelf, a night desk, a large wardrobe and a monitor.
๐ก Itโs a bright, high-end, quiet flat which is perfect if you like to be around amazing, positive people from day 1 - but also value your work/me-time and focus during the week. If you like to go on sporty, active activities before and after work (itโs very close to a sport centre/running paths, padel field & Levada walk are right in front, plus the flat offers lots of space for yoga and workouts). The place is also perfect if you like to wind down on the couch after a busy day watching your favourite series, playing one of our board games with your flatmates or reading one of our interesting (mostly non-fictional) books.
โ Supermarkets (+ shopping centre), restaurants, cafรฉs, bars, massage/spa places, farmacies, (etc.) and a fancy (but free) coworking space (a drink needs to be consumed) are only a short walk away. ๐บ
You can reach Funchal old town in 11 min by car/scooter (or by a direct frequent bus connection right in front of the house), and some beautiful beaches/viewpoints are just 5 min away.
๐ค๐ผ The flat is shared with 2-3 social, friendly & active nomads/expats who like to go on activities, hikes and events together (often also in big groups with the other Colivings I manage) ๐๏ธ๐ ๐งโโ๏ธ ๐ฅ ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฃโโ๏ธ๐คฟ๐ฅณ๐งโโ๏ธ
๐๏ธ ๐ There is an option to share low-cost vehicles with the other Colivers (we also have affordable 125cc scooters for rent)
โ๏ธ A 360ยฐ sea view balcony (goes around the flat), a spacious coworking area, large living room with smart TV, drinking water filter system, washing & drying machine, a fully equipped kitchen with smoothie maker/air fryer/dishwasher etc., large bathrooms with bathtubs, 1GBps ultrafast internet, free parking, yoga mats, board games, books, a cleaning robot, outdoor seating and lovely flatmates are included โ๏ธ
๐ป This is a Coliving for (digital) nomads. Trip ideas and locations will be provided, and we team up with the other Colivings for regular meet-ups and hikes. There will be no physical trip leader present all the time to lead the trips shown here, though. You don't have to worry to get bored, ever, though, I promise ;)
