Algarve - Vilamoura

Exceeded all expectations

Location: I appreciated its location, tucked off a main road in a residential area. There’s a mix of narrow road/sidewalks. There is a local “worker’s restaurant” 3 min walk down the street. Traffic was minimal/moderate in the neighborhood. A large yet to be developed subdivision made for good walking, even at night as it was well lit. A quick drive/ride to the beach/grocery stores/restaurants. If you prefer walking, this is also possible. Trash/recycling dumpsters are at the end of the street. These were emptied via trash truck, seemingly every other evening, between 11pm-Midnight. Rather loud, but you get used to it. There were frequent late night sounds of motorcycles racing down N396 late at night as it’s a good straight away. Nearby Pingo Doce has a good variety of grocery and buffet offerings. Go a little further, and you’ll find Continente Modelo, a much larger grocery if you’re in need of a larger variety. Lidl and Aldi are also near by via car. Accommodations: The grounds, working space, and room were all clean and well appointed. Pool deck had plenty of loungers, side tables, and even a large table/chairs to enjoy lunch by the pool. Pool bathrooms were clean and well stocked. WIFI coverage was good enough to work by the pool if you wanted. Especially appreciated the keyless door locks, not having to keep track of / share a physical key. The little things were abundant in our accommodations. Dishes/utensils, dish soap, cleaning sponge, microwave/stovetop, Olive oil, salt/pepper, good size fridge w/freezer. Most importantly coffee maker, condiments, coffee beans and grinder. Additional beans available in co workspace to refill. Bathroom had all amenities you’d need (soap, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner). I appreciated the 2 types of shower heads, including a rainfall. Most apt/hotel shower heads are too short and I have to crouch. Great water pressure all around, be warned, the water is HOT and almost instant. This includes kitchen faucet. Not flush toilet paper took some getting used to. Recommend purchasing wipes from Pingo. 2 washers and dryers with detergent were in good working order. Drying racks also available. Laundry room also housed cleaning supplies, toilet paper stash. A great plus. Location mgr, Evelyn was great! Personable, engaging, and quick to respond. The socials and area updates were helpful as this was our first time in Portugal. Bed, HVAC, WiFi, Smart TV were also above expectations.

The accommodation is good, and the rooms are very spacious, with their own kitchenette. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: - You'll need a vehicle to get around. Personally, I always used Uber or Bolt, which are both easy to find. If I stayed more I would have probably rent a scooter - It's more like a condo than a typical coliving space, so it's not that easy to meet people and socialize. That said, the community manager has always been very proactive in organizing activities and bringing people together, kudos to Evelin! Just something to keep in mind if the social side of the experience is particularly important to you!

Un endroit magnifique pour un workation

Quel endroit incroyable. Assez proche de la ville, dans un quartier calme. L’appartement est juste parfait: grand, lumineux, nouveau, avec un balcon qui donne sur le jardin. Espace super pour travailler, depuis la chambre ou depuis l’espace de coworking. On sent vraiment que cet endroit a été pensé pour les digital nomades, et ça manque des endroits comme ça! Parfait.

Will be my home away from home

I stayed at a couple of different locations while I was in Portugal, and this one was hands down my favorite. I really loved that the accommodations felt like your own little apartment. You have a private kitchen with a refrigerator and stove, and it was thoughtfully furnished with coffee, kitchen utensils, and pretty much everything you need to make your stay comfortable. My apartment also had a private balcony overlooking the trees, with no one directly in front of me, which made it feel peaceful and secluded. The location is convenient to grocery stores and the beach, although I would recommend having a car or using Uber to get around. I rented a car, which worked perfectly, and there is plenty of parking available. There is also a really good Brazilian restaurant within walking distance, but most restaurants and activities will require some transportation. This part of Portugal really surprised me in the best way. The area is absolutely beautiful, with amazing beaches, fresh seafood, great restaurants, and plenty to explore. I highly recommend spending some time in Quarteira, walking along the boardwalk, grabbing something to eat, and relaxing by the water. I also loved visiting Olhão and taking the ferry out to the islands and beach. If you do that, bring a towel or blanket with you. There is also a little beach bar where you can grab something to eat or drink. One of the biggest highlights of my stay, though, was Evelyn, the community manager. She was incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This was my first time in Portugal, and she gave me wonderful recommendations that helped create such a soft landing for me. Anytime I had a question or needed help with something, she was there. We even did an outing together, and her kindness made me feel much more at home in a completely new country. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, comfortable, and home-like while exploring the Algarve.
