Traditional Rural House w/ Coworking + Outdoor Space

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. This coliving is your base for remote working in Tuscany, to explore nature and art. We are in a breath-taking position, immersed in the forest, with an amazing view of the Mugello Valley. We offer a unique coliving experience in a dynamic community with a maximum capacity of 12 people, typically hosting 6-7 colivers. Choosing to arrive in the first week of the month is recommended for a smoother experience, minimizing disruptions from arrivals and departures. The community operates without formal leaders, emphasizing the importance of every individual. A community 'un-manager' serves as a reference point, assisted by volunteers who help manage spaces. We foster a sense of responsibility among residents for maintaining shared spaces, encouraging a collaborative effort to keep the environment neat and ordered. As a rural house, the property showcases a blend of new and old elements, constructed with sustainability in mind. The atmosphere is characterized by a mix of professional and traditional features, with an emphasis on reusing furniture whenever possible. Nature thrives in this environment, with fast-growing plants, abundant wildlife, and a commitment to a sustainable and regenerative lifestyle. WIFI AND WORKING SPACES The house provides a reliable satellite-based internet connection through Starlink, with a backup connection using FWA 5G technology. The average download speed is 200 MB/s and the upload speed is 20 MB/s, ensuring a seamless online experience. There are two coworking rooms available 24/7, each equipped with workstations and outdoor WiFi for those seeking an inspiring view while working. FOOD AND GROCERIES Residents enjoy "free" breakfast and lunch, while dinners are shared, with everyone contributing to cooking and kitchen duties according to their schedules and skills. Planning for groceries is essential to ensure all ingredients are available for shared dinners and personal meals. MOBILITY Recognizing mobility as a fundamental freedom, we address the challenge of rural mobility by providing a shared car for local movements. Residents can rent a car for weekends or longer trips, and carpooling is encouraged, with rides often available to the town. Additionally, a pre-booked taxi service is offered by a friendly neighbor. 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! Room(s): 1.

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 … You will have private space in your room and shared spaces to meet other tenants.
