Workation in the Beautiful Algarve: Sea Views, Rustic Nature (Room Sharing)

What would it be like to work with a 180 degree view of the Pacific Ocean, amidst quiet and rustic nature? How about enjoying a mid-day break with a refreshing swim in the pool? And after an honest day's work go for a trek along the coastal cliffside with breathtaking view of limestone formation the Algarve is famous for? If this is something that appeals to you - then I would love to host you in Villa do Monte in Loule - in the beautiful southern part of Portugal. Here the vibe is more laid back, lots of friendly locals, has outdoorsy lifestyle and they promise 300 days of sun! WORKATION, The word suggests everything we want work to be: a fulfilling experience made better with a reward of a VACATION at the end of the day. Relish the fabulous ocean view at the end of the day while sipping some cocktail and enjoying some nibbles. Discover new places, meet new people, expand your work world: learn, teach, experience. So let’s cowork, colive and most specially co-experience the best things Algarve has to offer. COWORKING: enjoy the fast internet either on a communal table and space or work alone – both can be arranged. Bedrooms with desks can be used for working if privacy is needed, or you can enjoy an outdoor office. COLIVING: means practicing common respect for each others’ spaces, sharing the responsibility of cleaning, cooking, grocery runs, bin runs, etc. More importantly, make the most of your trip mates by engaging in the group's afterwork dynamics, having fun and getting to know each other. COEXPERIENCING: Let’s keep things chill and uncomplicated – we can choose to do things together as a group, or individually. No obligations on the fun part. Algarve offers so many options, but it does require driving to get to the best places. Easiest option is to rent a car, however Uber is also possible and a good alternative to renting especially as it’s very reasonably priced here. How would a typical day look like? If you’re an early bird maybe you can start with invigorating walk-about around the area, the balcony offers a 180 degrees of fantastic ocean view and is also a great spot for a morning yoga or stretching exercise before you start your workday. Since this is a hosted trip – breakfast is included in the price, so you can start your day nourished without stressing about food in the morning (this is in the “vacation” part of the Workation). At the end of the day – we can decide either as a group or individualy to explore the Algarve. Here are some possible trips and activities which I can also join or just organize for you: COMPLIMENTARY - Visit to the beach – closest one is about 15 mins away - Trekking along the coastline or mountainside of the Algarve. Several trails to choose from depending on how much time you have - Explore the lovely town of Loule - Short shopping trips for local souvenirs (I know where you can get the best deals) - Paella Cooking class (cooking can be a distressing activity so let’s have fun in the kitchen and enjoy this dinner together) CHARGEABLE: Would be activities you will need to pay for - and again so many options in Algarve from playing golf, water sports and activities (eg: visit to the Benagil caves by boat or with kayak), wine or olive oil tasting, etc. I can also book individual or group dinners in any of the lovely restaurants that offer plenty of choices from hole in the wall to Michelin starred ones. Not to be missed would be the traditional Portuguese cuisine of Piri-piri, sardinhas, etc. I can provide a more detailed list of all these options we can choose from. Excited? Send me a brief intro of yourself and let’s see how we all fit together as a group so we can create and maintain a positive work environment and relaxed atmosphere for all to enjoy.
