The Village

CO-LIVING

Coming aboard from a week onward, to live at a slower rhythm and belong to a caring community.

Mosaic village landscape

Overview

Mosaic is currently in a phase of rebuilding. While we are gradually gathering the people who will take long-term responsibility for the project, we are also welcoming colivers, people who wish to enjoy a slower, land-based way of life in South Alentejo.

This is for people who are rooted in their own work and life, and who are looking for a beautiful place to live, build local relationships and become part of a caring community. You'll have one person of reference to help you settle in.

A day here might mean working on your own projects through the morning, a swim in the lake at midday, an hour in the garden as the light softens, and an evening cooking beside people who are slowly becoming your neighbours, and then your friends.

Before you settle in

What you may be stepping into.

Co-living unfolds over weeks and months, not days, so what you are stepping into goes deeper than a visit.

Life & rhythm

The Rhythm of a Week

Life as a coliver is guided by two shared gatherings each week. Beyond those, your time remains entirely your own.

How it works

Becoming a coliver.

Co-living begins with a conversation, not a contract. Four steps to find your place in the village.

  1. 01

    Step 1 of 4

    Get in touch

    Write to us with a short introduction: who you are, when you'd like to come, and how long you're thinking of staying. No formal application, just enough for us to prepare a space and a warm welcome.

  2. 02

    Step 2 of 4

    A brief conversation

    We'll set up a short call or exchange to answer your questions, share practical details, and make sure we're a good fit for each other at this moment in time.

  3. 03

    Step 3 of 4

    Choose your space and settle in

    Once we've found the right dates, you book your accommodation, receive everything you need to arrive, and begin settling into the rhythm of the village.

  4. 04

    Step 4 of 4

    Find your footing

    Your person of reference helps you orient in the first days: where things are, how the week flows, and who to talk to. After that, the place speaks for itself.
