Live and work remotely in a medieval village in the "green heart of Italy"
We are currently in our pre-opening phase
What does "pre-opening" mean?
From August to November 2024 we will welcome a limited number of guests to join us for an incredible experience.
At the end of their staying, we ask our guests for feedback.
Our goal is to refine our coliving and coworking offerings and launch in 2025 with excellence.
Our mission
Live and work harmoniously in Italy's hidden gem villages.
Vallo di Nera:
"one of the most beautiful villages in Italy"
The coliving is located in Vallo di Nera, a medieval village in Umbria, Italy.
Umbria, a small region in the geographical center of Italy, boasts 2,800 years of history and lush green mountains, earning it the nickname "the green heart of Italy".
With just 355 inhabitants, the village is impeccably maintained, offering a relaxing and intimate atmosphere. Perched on a sunny hill, it overlooks the water-rich, fresh, and lush green Valnerina Valley.
Vallo di Nera is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy"). It has also been awarded Bandiera Arancione ("Orange flag"), by the Touring Club Italiano, recognizing its excellency in tourism, hospitality and environmental quality.

We met at a coworking space in Berlin during the pandemic and eventually became close friends.
This project is the culmination of over two years of sharing ideas, experiencing coliving spaces, and dreaming of living and working remotely from Italy's hidden villages!

We spent a wonderful week at Dolce Vita in a beautiful Italian borgo. Surrounded by nature, it was amazing to work alongside my dog. The village is peaceful yet close to the city, with friendly locals and fun activities like dog trekking. Loved the mix of local and international experiences with other smart workers!
