I stayed here for a month between the end of July and August.
House: The pool is lovely, and the outside couch/table makes a nice spot to sit and relax/work when it’s not too hot or when the mosquitos are out at night. The gym is outside and a bit outdated, but there are simple weights/items to do a basic workout. The workstation has lots of room, and the kitchen is very spacious and stocked with all appliances and cookware to support your cooking needs. The bathrooms are supplied with the basics (toilet paper, soap), which is nice. Detergent is also supplied, and it’s easy to do laundry.
Bedroom: I stayed in St. Tropez. The room was spacious but it shared a central AC with another bedroom. Since St. Tropez is smaller, it would get cold pretty fast, and because the window needed to be closed for the AC to work, it could get too cold at times, which was inconvenient. If you and the other person in the other room don’t share similar AC preferences, that would be very inconvenient.
Public Transportation: While there is a bus and a shuttle about a 4-minute walk away that brings you to the Biot train station, overall it felt inconvenient. I would have rather rented a car to explore all of the surrounding towns. If you miss the bus or shuttle, it could be a while before the next one comes. The bus also stops running around 7:40 pm, which makes any nighttime activities hard to plan unless you want to pay for rideshares. On Thursdays, the shuttle had later hours, but during the summer months, the trains are packed with people, so be prepared for very crowded and sweaty train rides. The Biot train station and shuttle/bus times didn’t align that well, so I found myself waiting often during transfers.
Location: While the house was very nice, the location felt isolated. The central part of the Biot town is about a 25-minute walk (lots of uphill). You can get there via the bus or shuttle. It’s a cute town but there isn’t much to do besides getting some groceries and checking out a few restaurants/shops. As someone who explored a lot of the French Riviera during my stay, I felt that my experience would have been much more convenient and different if I stayed in Nice or Cannes. If you prefer a very quiet, relaxing, homebody environment, then this is the place for you. If you’d rather be in the heart of the action and be closer to restaurants, shops, and beaches, a car would make life a lot easier, or staying in one of the other cities would be ideal.
Community: This coliving has fewer occupants than I’m used to at other colivings. If only one person stays in each room, there will only be six people. The accommodations next door were rented out instead of having more nomads stay, which I thought missed the mark, as having more nomads could have improved the overall community vibe. Also, there wasn’t as much emphasis on community outings/events as I’m used to in other colivings, which meant you need to be very proactive to get group activities planned.
Had an awesome stay here. Very hospitable couple and it has a beautiful, huge garden far away from traffic noise.
Loved everything about the house. Gi and Manu are wonderful hosts, working so hard to make sure everything runs smoothly. Can’t wait to go back!
This place exceeded my expectations 🤩
1. The villa is much bigger than expected, the internet is good (no issues during my stay), and the room and overall place are clean.
2. It's just a 3-minute walk to the bus station and a 10-minute walk to a shop, pharmacy, and bakery with daily fresh baguettes.
3. You can easily visit the French Riviera and nearby villages by bus or train.
Kudos to the hosts for arranging such a nice stay 👏🏻 I'll definitely be back!
I stayed for a month at this coliving space, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience for my first time. Manuel and Giedre are incredibly friendly and provide the best attention to everyone.
The amenities, including the pool and garden, are very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped, and the living room is perfectly set up for movie and board game nights.
If you're seeking peaceful workspaces and looking to connect with other like-minded digital nomads, this place is a hotspot.
Pro tip: Ask Manuel and Giedre to show you nice spots in Antibes to watch the sunset while enjoying a glass of wine and slice of pizza. It’s definitely worth it.
I had a fantastic stay at this coliving villa. Manuel and Giedre were exceptional hosts, ensuring every aspect of my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The villa was equipped with everything one might need, making my time here an absolute blast! I genuinely felt at home!
The coworking space provided a productive environment for getting work done, and my room was clean and convenient for working as well.
I met wonderful people and had so much fun playing board games and socializing with both hosts and guests.
I highly recommend this place—it's the best coliving space in the area where you can enjoy your time in the sunny French Riviera, make new friends, and be productive!
I stayed at this beautiful house that invites you to work, live, and enjoy. I would love to come back again, thank you Giedre & Manuel.
I stayed for a month during the opening phase and was pleasantly surprised to find everything brand new and decorated with such care. The hosts were incredibly kind, always looking after us. I really appreciated all the technology in the house; it just made everything so much more convenient. The location was serene, making it easy to unwind, yet it was still simple to reach other cities for when I needed a change of scenery. Plus, the view from my terrace was amazing! Sunlight bathed the area all day, even in winter, which was a real treat.
Finally, a coliving space that meets all my needs! This place is ideally located with easy transportation options, whether by train or bike if you don't have a car. The house is very comfortable and fully equipped. There are beautiful villages around and plenty of activities to enjoy, whether on the sea shore or in the mountains. You just can't get bored here!
The WiFi is perfect and provides very good working conditions. Giedre and Manuel are the best hosts—very caring and professional. They do everything they can to ensure everyone's stay is smooth.
The space is community-focused, and the size of the house makes it easy to connect with others. The community vibe goes beyond just the house, making for a very enriching experience. I initially booked for a month but ended up extending my stay. I will definitely be back!
I had such a great time in the south of France with Giedre and Manuel in their lovely coliving! You can really tell that they give their best and all their heart for this place. ❤️
The place is well-equipped, super tidy, and clean. I loved my room, the big open kitchen (with coffee and tea provided), the huge pool, and the terrace where I could work from every day with a beautiful garden in front of me.
The villa is located between Antibes and the little village of Biot. There's a bus that comes regularly to get you to the nearest cities or the train station in just a few minutes. However, I chose the bike most of the time to get to Antibes. It's a 20-minute ride along the sea, which is just beautiful! Manuel and Giedre have bikes that you're free to use.
Manuel and Giedre live at the place themselves, and you can tell that they love what they do. They always have an open ear and plan trips and activities for everyone who wants to join – both longer planned ones and also spontaneous ones. I loved the community here, especially having a glass of rosé with everyone on the terrace in the evening.
Thanks again, Manuel and Giedre, for everything! I'll be back for sure! ❤️
