Welcome to Our Coliving Space
Your ideal base for remote work in Tuscany, immersed in nature and art, nestled in the forest with a breathtaking view of the Mugello Valley.
We offer a unique coliving experience within a dynamic community, accommodating up to 12 people with an average of 6-7 colivers.
We recommend arriving in the first week of the month to minimize disruptions. Arrivals are on Saturdays.
Our community operates without formal leaders, emphasizing the importance of each individual. A community 'un-manager' serves as a point of reference, assisted by volunteers. We foster responsibility among residents for maintaining shared areas, encouraging collaboration.
Our rural house combines new and old elements; the atmosphere blends professional and traditional features. Nature thrives here, with fast-growing plants, abundant wildlife, and a commitment to a sustainable lifestyle.
WiFi and Working Spaces: The house offers a reliable satellite-based internet connection through Starlink, with a backup FWA 5G connection. The average download speed is 200 Mbps, and the upload speed is 20 Mbps. We have two coworking rooms available 24/7. Outdoor WiFi is also available for those seeking an inspiring view while working.
Food and Groceries: We eat dinners together; breakfast and lunch are to be planned on everyone's schedule. Everyone contributes to the cooking and kitchen duties. Planning for groceries ensures all ingredients are available for shared dinners and personal meals. The supermarket is 10 min car away from the property.
Mobility: We provide a shared car for local movements. Residents will have to rent a car for weekends or longer trips. Carpooling is encouraged, and rides to town are often available. Additionally, a pre-booked taxi service is offered by a friendly neighbor.

Community
This is a Forest Coliving Coworking in Tuscany Apennine. We would like to meet people that love wilderness and nature and look for a community experience. We can share our lifestyle and learnings about how to live in the forest (we came from a big town, Milan, 15 years ago). Our community means the gathering of people who share and discuss their perspectives. Our coliving space is ideal for remote workers, digital nomads, and creative nomads. We offer a community lifestyle experience and we believe that is really enriching to share with others! All around nature and the forest provide a perfect place to be inspired and productive in your professional life as well as to ‘feel at home. What can we learn from plants, the way they behave in a community, the wisdom of old trees? For sure staying in contact with plants reduce stress, stimulates creativity, and increases your productivity. It's a place where you first work well, then you share, relax, have fun, and enjoy nature and wilderness!

Location
Vicchio
We are based in the Mugello region, 30 km from Florence.
From the front door we can start for fascinating trekking and biking and explore the forest and the wilderness: every season has its hits, in summer bathing in the small rivers, in winter find the snow up the mountains, in autumn enjoy the spectacular colors of the leaves, in spring smell the first flowers and assist to nature awakening. Wild animals are even easy to see (or listen to at least). But there even much more, as historical and art places (2nd World War German cemetery, Etruscan archeological sites, castle and palace from the Medici family), musical events (in spring and summer), food and wine excellence to discover. And we will be pleased to share with you our local network of friends, people involved in activities, developing projects on the territory, etc.

The kitchen is the beating heart of coliving, it will be essential to respect the spaces and the rules of common sense to leave the space as clean as you found it. Cooking and eating together, listening to good music, is a fantastic way to get to know each other and to exchange, a precious moment in which everyone meets after the work day.

I am attracted from nature but I have always lived in the cityPerfect, it is precisely what we feel is important: to offer the possibility of staying in a remote place in the woods, to live with the rhythms of nature and the seasons, safely and comfortable, living in the coliving house where we have lived for more than 15 years (before we lived in the city center of Milan!). You will also have the opportunity to get closer to basic knowledge, the vegetable garden, light the fire, make wood, interact with the hens. These days, learning how to produce food is a resource that should not be underestimated …
