About the owners
I’m Luísa Magalhães, the founder and creative mind behind Caminho Coliving. My personal experience with remote work and nomadic living inspired me to create a space where people can feel at home, even when they are far away from their country of origin.
I care deeply about well-being, community living, and the small details that make a meaningful difference. I stay closely involved in our residents’ experiences, ensuring that Caminho remains a welcoming, human, and authentic place.
For me, Caminho is more than a project, it is an extension of the values I believe in: creativity, presence, and community.

Acceptance depends on factors such as the type, size, temperament and needs of the animal, as well as the comfort and safety of the other residents.
Specific rules, restrictions and any possible additional fees will be discussed and agreed upon individually before the stay. Pet owners are responsible for their animal’s behaviour, hygiene, supervision and for preventing any damage or disturbance in the house.

Why did you decide to open?
I grew up in a small village in the north of Portugal, where almost half of the population is part of my family. Community was always a natural part of everyday life: people knew each other, helped one another and shared both ordinary and important moments.
When I began travelling and experiencing remote and nomadic life, I deeply missed that sense of belonging. That was one of the reasons I enjoyed staying in colivings: they gave me the opportunity to meet people, share experiences and feel part of a community, even when I was far from home.
This experience inspired me to create Caminho Coliving. I wanted to build more than a place to stay, a welcoming and human space where people could live, work, create and form meaningful relationships.
Creativity and art are at the heart of Caminho. Through our atelier, workshops, artistic residencies, community activities and spontaneous creative moments, I want people to have the freedom to explore new ideas, express themselves and share their knowledge and talents with others.
I also wanted Caminho to be connected to the place where it exists. It is important to me that residents have opportunities to meet local people, support local artists and businesses, and contribute positively to the surrounding community. At the same time, I love sharing Portuguese culture, traditions, food and everyday life with people arriving from different parts of the world.
How do you manage the community?
I manage the community by creating a balance between structure and spontaneity. I want residents to feel welcomed, supported and included, while still having the freedom to enjoy their own routines and personal space.
We organise regular community moments, such as weekly dinners, creative activities, workshops and our “Day of” experiences, where we do something different together each week. Residents are also encouraged to suggest activities, share their skills or organise something they would enjoy doing with the group.
Communication is an important part of community life. We use a WhatsApp group to share practical information, make plans and invite residents to spontaneous activities. I also stay closely involved in the house, checking in with residents and helping with any questions, needs or challenges that may arise.
At the same time, participation is always optional. There is no pressure to join every activity. Everyone can choose how involved they want to be, and we respect different personalities, working schedules and social needs.
We also have clear house guidelines to support respectful shared living, including quiet hours, shared-space responsibilities and open communication when something needs to be discussed.
