Orfeo: Bridging History and Vision for TransformationAt the heart of Tavira lies Orfeo—an evolving haven steeped in heritage and nurtured by our aspiration for community, sustainability, and innovation.
Our Story
Having invested our lifetime in making a social and environmental impact, as a volunteer or employee, we are now embarking on our social entrepreneur journey. Our ambition is to offer others the chance to make a meaningful impact here in the Algarve region and its communities.
Our love for genuine connections have driven our desire to transform our home into a space where moments and ideas would flow freely and would drive a positive, sustainable influence within Tavira's local fabric and beyond.
Our House
Orfeo, a XIX century house infused with Spanish influences, speaks by itself about historical links between Algarve and Andalucia. Its original owners remain shrouded in mystery, yet its roots have been entwined with Tavira's history. In the late '60s, it transformed into "Orfeo"—a sanctuary where people, regardless of means, gathered during the Saint Lazarre period to dance, celebrate, and find solace.
A Vision Unfolding
We expect Orfeo’s presence, after its renovation, will serve as the gateway to a multi-dimensional space envisioned for families, creatives, and sustainability pioneers alike:
Coliving Haven for Families: Families seeking a community-centered, culturally immersive living experience will find a nurturing home at Orfeo.
Retreat for Creative Minds: Artists, writers, innovators, and creators will uncover inspiration and collaborative opportunities in this serene creative haven.
Sustainable Development Laboratory: Beyond its physical presence in Tavira, Orfeo will serve as a laboratory, fostering innovative sustainable approaches for Algarve communities development.
Weaving Together Past and Future
Orfeo intertwines its rich history with our aspiration—a historic house evolving into a modern space fostering unity, creativity, and sustainable development. We hope it will stand as a testament to the convergence of heritage and innovation, inviting diverse minds to collaborate and shape a brighter, more sustainable future for Tavira but not only….
WORKING ARRANGEMENT
We would need first an electrician, working 5 days a week, max 4-5 hours per day.
LIVING ARRANGEMENT
Our house offers multiple private rooms, with the availability of up to 6 rooms.
Currently, we are specifically looking to offer one private room that would be ideal for a solo traveler or a couple—perfectly convenient and cozy.
Living arrangements would involve sharing the space with us and our two friendly cats. However, there might be times when we're not around, giving you the entire house to yourself.
Shared areas such as the bathroom and kitchen would be common spaces for us all to enjoy together.
