Tertulia Coliving

This place has huge potential! It has its own unique charm and is full of history. The location is quite convenient for exploring nearby areas, although you would need a car for that.

There's a coworking space and a separate office with a strong internet connection. They organized activities for us to get a taste of the local culture and cuisine, like learning how to make orecchiette and mozzarella!

Highly recommended!

I have very fond memories of staying here for a month in May, which felt much longer. Francesco is an incredibly generous, sensitive, and inspiring person who creates a sense of community among the colivers and local people. Beyond a great coliving experience, I appreciated him inviting us to meet people outside of the coliving and participate in his volunteering projects, even though we didn’t speak Italian.

The coliving space itself is quite remote, situated in a genuinely rural and local part of Italy. Since I wasn’t looking for bustling activities but rather time to connect with nature and people, it was a perfect choice.

The endless sunsets and sunrises, dogs accompanying us for a run, morning yoga on the green hills, community dinners, and lovely company really made me feel at home.

This is a perfect getaway for those seeking rest and connection with like-minded individuals. There is lots of green space for walks and hikes nearby, and its elevation provides stunning sunsets every day. Guests are self-reliant and contribute to the harmony and well-being of the house. The rooms are cozy and charming, and waking up to sunlight and birdsong every morning is delightful. Every Monday, we plan activities for the week and decide who will cook. Cooking together is a great opportunity to engage with others and build connections, though there's no pressure to socialize if you need solo time. Francesco, the host, is reliable and always available to help with any issues. I had a wonderful time, made new friends, and already miss everyone. If you're looking for a real coliving experience focused on community and set in nature, this is the place for you!

I had an amazing stay here. They are just starting, but Francesco is always ready to help when needed. It's conveniently located about 10 minutes from a big city where you can find everything you need.

I work remotely and travel frequently, and I had no issues at all with the internet connection. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything I needed to cook and prepare my meals.

We also organized a few trips to the beach and some nearby amazing towns.

I highly recommend it!

This is a really special place with an amazing location and wonderful people!

I had an amazing time at this coliving space. The atmosphere is great, and the environment feels authentic. I would strongly suggest it to anyone wanting to disconnect from city life and enjoy the little things in a place completely immersed in nature.

Beautiful! Cared for, functional, and rejuvenating! Living and working together with this small temporary family warmed my heart :)

I stayed for a month last year and had such a great time here. Having now stayed at another coliving space, I can genuinely say that this one is significantly better at fostering a sense of community. Francesco and Giorgia were incredibly welcoming, striking the perfect balance of being present without being overbearing. There's a weekly meeting where new arrivals can introduce themselves and everyone discusses potential activities for the week. Yes, a lot of it revolves around 'low-key' activities like shared dinners and walks, but that's exactly what I was looking for. The location is beautiful and peaceful, although a bit too remote for my personal taste.

My only regret about my time here is that I couldn't stay for more than a month. I'm already planning my return. What makes this place stand out, you might ask? The breathtaking landscape, for starters, with those unforgettable sunsets over the Mugello valley and the morning fog weaving through ancient chestnut trees. Not to forget the hidden paths in the surrounding forests, which feel like a small adventure each time you find your way back.

But beyond the natural beauty, what truly defines this coliving space is the people. Francesco and Giorgia have this incredible ability to make everyone feel welcome and connected, fostering a sense of belonging without any pressure. It's a place where you can be yourself, share with others, and watch as potentials unfold naturally. There's a subtle magic in the air here.

After spending several months at this coliving space, I've seen how it's not just me who feels this magnetic pull. Many have decided to change their lives for the better and even moved nearby! Life here feels slower, healthier, and more human. I just know I need to return.

I stayed here for six incredible weeks and had the time of my life. I'm genuinely surprised by some of the negative feedback I've come across. A rustic, rural setting may not be everyone's cup of tea, but my personal experience was nothing short of amazing.

Yes, the place has an old-world charm, not everything may be modern or pristine, but that's part of its beauty. There's a gigantic fireplace in the kitchen that seems to transport you back in time. The yoga and event room combines historical aesthetics with practicality, complete with a long stove that warms a clay bench into a sauna-like seat. Participating in workshops there, particularly those led by a friend of the host, was among the most magical moments I've had over the year.

Maintaining an old building is certainly no small feat, but the host, Francesco, pours his heart into the work, and it shows. During my month-long stay, I never encountered any issues with bad odors or plumbing. Once, when my shower handle broke, Francesco had it fixed within hours. Despite the secluded location, which is common to many coliving spaces, there were always enough cars for shopping trips, and I never needed to pay extra for transportation.

Each coliving space operates differently, and while there were no volunteers here, Francesco was always ready to provide activities or ideas when asked. I've been to other colivings, but this experience stood out for its uniqueness and the sense of community it fostered.

I disagree with any notion that problems like dirty water are a constant here; it seems such issues are more about bad luck with cohabiting groups than the owner's neglect. Remember, coliving isn't meant to be a nursery; it's a shared space that thrives on mutual respect and self-organization.

It's also worth noting that many coliving owners, including Francesco, often have additional jobs. Juggling farming, one of the most time-consuming and least profitable jobs, with running a coliving space is no small task. The dedication to cultivate both a farm and a coliving space shows a deep passion for the lifestyle, the community, and making a positive impact on the world. Francesco is incredibly kind-hearted; both he, his family, and the space merit high praise.

I've enjoyed other colivings before, but this one holds a special place in my heart, and I wouldn't hesitate to return. And if you've seen the stunning landscapes and sunsets, you'd understand why.
