Islow Coliving

The perfect combination of work, community and quality of life
Being part of FIXAR at the host has been a transformative experience. The facilities are thoughtfully designed for digital nomads and remote workers: good Wi-Fi, quiet spaces to concentrate and very welcoming common areas. But the best part has been the people: the dynamics, the conversations and the atmosphere that develops. For me, it has been therapeutic and transformative. I will never forget my time there. Thanks to the whole team for taking care of every detail!

A beautiful place, with a very pleasant atmosphere and a variety of activities.

Top-notch facilities. Quiet rooms and a comfortable bed. Coworking area with monitors and well equipped for networking sessions. The common areas are comfortable and practical (lots of kitchen utensils and a layout very well thought out so several people can cook at the same time).

The outdoor areas are also very nice. The back terrace is ideal for having a coffee early in the morning and writing accompanied by the sound of the birds. It also has plenty of space for dinners and small celebrations.

To offer one criticism, and so this doesn't seem like it was written by an AI, the exterior kitchen terrace is a bit noisy due to the proximity to the road.

As for the hosts, the treatment has been excellent. They know how to read the needs of the people who pass through there and enjoy the conversations that arise during the stay.

Without a doubt it's a place I want to return to because the host is not a run-of-the-mill coliving center; it's a shared home where you stop feeling like an outsider after only a few hours of staying.

I will be back.

I was lucky to arrive at this magical corner thanks to the Fixar program, with a project idea under my arm. What I didn’t imagine was that, besides helping me develop it, they would help me see things differently.

It was my first experience in a coliving and, if they are all like this, I think I’ve found a new way to travel. It’s a wonderful place to work, disconnect, and, almost without realizing it, feel part of something.

The first thing was meeting almost the whole family of the host, who in the friendliest and most spontaneous way welcomed me and showed me the space. I think I didn’t stop being amazed until I fell from the zip line.

The house is beautiful and has been lovingly refurbished, full of small corners that honor family history and tell us how our grandparents lived. It’s full of magical details: the fireplace, the rock on which the coworking space rests, the small holes where there used to be beehives, the door that leads to the clothesline... Each corner holds a little story. It’s an incredibly cozy place and, although everything invites you to stay, its true heart is the kitchen: the most open and spacious gathering space I have ever lived in. There, between coffees, shared meals and long after-meal conversations, that feeling of home grew and stayed with me throughout the experience.

And what really makes the host special is the people who bring music to the place. One staff member, a determined bagpiper, with authentic and joyful listening, and another staff member, a guitarist with a deep voice, a good conversationalist and a reserved character, form a couple as sweet as they are welcoming who, together with their two little helpers, make you feel at home in just five minutes. Another staff member brings boundless energy and good humor, with a tambourine and a voice that cradles the soul. And another staff member, who is passing through but played a fundamental role during my stay with her Italian spark... and more family members who bring the activities that keep us active... They all have something in common: they are good people, the kind who make room for you at the table without thinking, who have lived many experiences and share their wisdom with a generosity that moves you.

Something very beautiful also happens with the people who pass through. Usually you go down to the kitchen to make yourself a coffee and end up sharing a meal, a chat or some laughs with people you’ve just met. After a couple of days you no longer know very well who arrived before or after. The host has that rare talent for bringing together lovely people and making everything feel easy.

It is surrounded by nature and, although it is next to the road, in summer you’ll hear the nightjar while you dine and you can see butterflies and lizards strolling peacefully along the porch. It’s one of those places where nature always finds a way to sneak in. That said, if you try the zip line... hold on tight. Haha.

More than an accommodation or a coworking, this place is one of those that leave a mark. You leave with the feeling of having found a small refuge, one you know you’ll want to return to, and with your heart a little fuller.

Thank you for opening your home and sharing this corner with such affection. I hope to return very soon.

Wonderful space and atmosphere. I spent 15 days participating in the FIXAR program and the host became my home. A place to work without stress, to learn, to share, and to enjoy. 100% recommendable

The helpful hosts and the wonderful guests, there's a great atmosphere.

This place has such good energy, and I had a great time with lovely people there! You can walk to the beach in 20 minutes.

The hosts and their children are friendly and welcoming, doing everything they can to make you feel at home. They are involved in their community, promoting culture and environmental protection, and bringing locals and guests together.

The house is old and built into and onto a rock. It's nicely renovated. The rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated. The co-working space is well equipped and has fast Wi-Fi. The large kitchen is the meeting place of the house. Everything is well maintained and you feel very comfortable everywhere. The atmosphere is relaxed; everyone helps, cooks together, goes on trips together, but you can retreat at any time if you need privacy. Everything is possible; nothing is mandatory.

The town is a 2-minute drive away. A shared bicycle is also available. The beaches in the area are amazing! I enjoyed the beautiful, unspoiled nature, far away from the tourist crowds. A car is recommended, at least for the transfer to the airport (about 1 hour to A Coruña and Santiago) and to get to know the rest of Galicia. The roads are good and there was little traffic in the fall.
I can highly recommend this coliving! Surfers, nature lovers, and workationers will probably feel most at home here. Party people and cosmopolitans might prefer other places in larger towns. The only minor drawback was the country road right in front of the house. However, all the rest is just perfect and I really enjoyed my workation in September. Thank you very much to the hosts!

It has a special energy. I have been here twice in this coliving-coworking and I know I will return. It is a place where you can concentrate and work very comfortably: the coworking space is cozy, bright, and the wifi works perfectly. Then there is the house, decorated with great taste, taken care of with love, and with all the amenities. The surroundings are another gift: right in the Costa da Morte, surrounded by beaches, paths, and enchanting forests. But the most wonderful thing is the community that is created. Many of us arrive alone, and from the first day, they manage to make you feel part of something. Bonds are created, moments are shared, and you feel integrated, with people from all over the world and with those from there. This is one of those places I always want to return to. And I hope to do so at least once a year!

My experience at the coliving in Laxe as part of the Fixar program was truly transformative. It exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of professional coworking and immersive local culture. The coworking space was amazing - modern and inspiring - perfect to boost productivity. The community activities and local engagement opportunities enriched my stay, making it both productive and personally fulfilling. The coliving in Costa da Morte isn't just a place to stay—it's a destination where work meets meaningful travel, setting a new standard for coliving experiences. Thank you very much!!
