New Work on the move: Five locations
Location-independent, flexible and free – as long as the internet connection is stable. Worldwide, it is estimated that around 35 million people combine travel and work as digital nomads.
Whether IT, online marketing, content creation, or design, whether remotely employed or self-employed as a freelancer: what unites digital nomads is the freedom to work from where others vacation. To ensure this isn't too complicated or expensive despite having a job, traveling light is essential. A digital nomad's office equipment is usually limited to a laptop, smartphone, headphones, and charging cable. With this "minimalist kit," they then set up camp in vacation rentals, co-working spaces, or cafés to fulfill their professional obligations.
Essential elements include a stable internet connection and an environment where you can concentrate without disturbing anyone with business calls or video conferences. Below, we present five Good Travel accommodations in various European countries that are perfect for digital nomads seeking peace and quiet.
1. A retreat for digital nomads in the Alentejo
The Gandum Village Located in the Portuguese Alentejo region, this accommodation is ideal for those who wish to combine productive work with nature and relaxation. Nestled in a wide landscape with its own stream, yet only 3 kilometers from the town of Montemor-o-Novo, it offers peace and inspiration.
A coworking space and meeting rooms make Gandum Village particularly attractive for digital nomads. The stylish rooms and apartments feature private outdoor areas, some with kitchenettes, making them perfect for longer stays or nomads with food intolerances. Alternatively, the farm-to-table restaurant tempts guests with local ingredients, seasonal dishes, and numerous vegetarian options.
For relaxation beyond work, there are several pools, an idyllic setting, and a sustainable accommodation concept with regenerative agriculture. And if you'd like to experience real city life and network with other digital nomads, the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, is just an hour away.
2. Italy: Working under lemon trees in Sardinia
Surrounded by citrus and olive groves in southeastern Sardinia, the Luna & Limoni Country The perfect place for focused work with Mediterranean ease. Here, digital nomads will find peace, nature, and excellent working conditions near beautiful beaches with crystal-clear water.
The five modern cottages rely on solar energy, well water, and recycled materials. Each cottage has its own terrace and fully equipped kitchen, making it perfect for longer, independent stays.
Fast Wi-Fi and the "adults only" policy of the accommodation allow for productive work. If your head is spinning afterward, simply take a dip in the 16-meter-long pool. The surrounding area is ideal for hiking, kitesurfing, swimming, cycling, and horseback riding. At Luna & Limoni, you can easily connect with other guests on the communal terrace with a pizza oven and barbecue area. The host family, the Gerardis, are the first point of contact for any questions and ensure that long-term travelers will find a welcoming, family-like atmosphere here.
