Many remote workers feel stuck between two choices: the high cost and fast pace of city life or the isolation of rural living. But what if there was a balanced alternative—a place where you could cut your living expenses in half while gaining a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle still close to a big city?

At Vivenda Felicidade, we’ve created a space where remote workers can live affordably without giving up the things that matter most: community, fresh food, and daily connection with nature. Here’s how life here makes that possible.

Why Some Remote Workers Are Choosing a Different Path

1. Lower Living Expenses Without Sacrificing Comfort

Lisbon is exciting, but the cost of rent, food, and entertainment adds up quickly. By staying in a co-living space designed for simplicity and well-being, you can spend less while enhancing your quality of life. At Vivenda Felicidade, we offer comfortable spaces, strong WiFi, and a welcoming community—all at a fraction of what you’d spend in the city.

2. Fresh, Homegrown Food That Nourishes the Body and Soul

Grocery store produce often lacks the nutrients and freshness of locally grown food. Here, we source vegetables and fruits directly from our own regenerative garden or locally sourced, free of pesticides and full of flavor. It’s not just about saving more and lowering your living expenses, it's about eating healthier and enhancing your connection and intimacy with food—it’s about reconnecting with where food comes from and enjoying simple, wholesome meals every day.

3. An Environment That Inspires Focus and Well-Being

Instead of constant noise and distractions, imagine working from a space where your surroundings help you focus and feel at ease. Whether it’s working from our garden, taking a midday walk to the beach, finding inspiration in the nearby forest or enjoying time with our cats, this is a place where both productivity and relaxation come naturally.

4. A Supportive Community Without the Chaos of the City

Being a remote worker doesn’t mean you have to be alone. At Vivenda Felicidade, we’ve cultivated a friendly, down-to-earth community of people who value meaningful conversations, shared meals, and balanced living. It’s a space where connections happen naturally, without the pressure of networking events or social burnout.

5. Work, Rest, and Play in a Way That Feels Right

Here, life isn’t about extremes—it’s about finding a natural rhythm. Work when you need to, but also enjoy the things that make life rich: a morning surf, a quiet sunset, or an impromptu gathering with new friends. We don’t believe in over-promising a perfect lifestyle, but we do know that living here makes it easier to feel good, work well, and enjoy the present moment.
