Coliving The VALLEY with Coworking Space open 24-7
Free transfer from Porto airport. All our 6 bedrooms are private. We are a coliving and coworking community, and most areas are shared with other residents – like the 2 bathrooms (3 bedrooms => 1 bathroom), the kitchenettes/living areas, the swimming pool, the gardens, and the coworking space – a stunning wooden cabin with comfortable chairs, 23.8" LCD monitors, a bathroom, a washing machine, and a fully equipped kitchen. The free Wi-Fi is over 500 Mbps next to the router.
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—our coliving is managed by the couple Mimi and Alexandre. Our motto is "We welcome citizens of the world".
A fridge, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, a coffee machine, plates, cutlery, cups, and a kitchen sink are available in each accommodation unit's kitchenette/living area. In the coworking space, you will have a bathroom and a kitchen with the same appliances as the accommodation unit's kitchenettes and, additionally, an Air Fryer, a rice cooker, a dual-plate induction cooker, a mixer, a juicer, several microwave cookware like a pot for potatoes and crisps, a rice pot, a multifunctional pot, and an eggs/omelets pot.
