If you are looking for a place surrounded by nature where you can meet other people who, like you, can work remotely and wish to develop their projects and experience community, you are in the right place! Since 2020, Tertulia Coliving has been a place open to digital nomads, creatives, people in a transformative phase of their lives, curious travellers, interested in comparison and eager to experience a stimulating and enriching time.

Our coliving is a farmhouse in the forest of Mugello, one hour far from Florence. We have 12 spots in three different kind of accommodations, from private room to shared bedrooms, and also communal  kitchen, coworking and outdoor spaces.

We advise and invite you to consider staying at least a month. That is why we have rates with significant reductions for those who decides to stay at least 30 days. In a month you will have time to experience the place, to visit the surrounding area, to take your time for your projects but above all you will have time to meet other people, to exchange, to listen to your feelings in a life experience with trasformative power. And the people you meet will also be happy to have time to get to know you, to meet you in a rhythm of life with time to spare.

The suggested minimum stay is 2 weeks. The preferred days of arrivals and departures are on Fridays Saturdays to help us with the planning and organizations of tasks and to help the community in welcoming new people.

A fast reliable connection is granted thanks to a satellite provider (Starlink). To prevent failures we have a backup connection too with fwa 5g technology. Average download speed is 200 Mb/s and upload is 20 Mb/s which is allowing a perfect experience for calls.

You will have two coworking rooms 24/7 and a small room for private calls. Every room has a workstation and wifi is also outdoor (the best office is the one with the best inspiring view).

Bed linen, towels and a weekly housekeeping service of the communal spaces are provided (bi-weekly in the rooms). The fully equipped Con-Vivio kitchen is at your disposal (see food section) and is also equipped with fridges and dishwasher. We provide you with fair trade coffee, olive oil, sugar and salt. You have free access 7 days a week at all hours to the coworking room. You can use the barn, a multifunctional room equipped with a beamer. Of course you have access to all the meadows and woods in and around Tertulia. You can participate in some of Tertulia’s activities such as ‘farm activation’, bread baking, cinema in the barn etc.

On Mondays we plan a community meeting to coordinate together, introduce ourselves and get to know each other, listen to the ideas and proposals of the colivers for the activities we want to do, and discuss shared dinners organization. This is the time to organize ourselves and make the most of our stay in Tertulia.

We eat dinners together. For lunch just do your own snack as everyone is on a different schedule. For morning and mid-day tasks you can be as flexible as necessary. For dinners you will be contributing in cooking and helping in the kitchen, according to your schedule, skills, desire. A little bit of help by everyone makes things easier for all. 

We plan at least two groceries moments in the week, according to needing and availability of cars from colivers, both for personal food both for shared dinners. Some planning is requested to have available on site all ingredients necessary for each gourmet menu!

At your disposal in the honesty bar you will find various organic and seasonal products from our territory and our production: just write down your consumption and then serve yourself, at the end of the stay you can settle your bill. It is important for us in Tertulia to base our relationship on trust.

We know that mobility is a ‘basic freedom’. If you cannot come with your car you will face the issue of rural mobility chronical scarcity of remote areas.  Our solution is a shared car, available for local movements (groceries, go to a hike starting point, go to a restaurant, go for a dive in ponds, go to train station…). You will have to rent a car for weekends or longer trips. Car pooling is another option: we often move to the town and we can offer rides, as well as some of our neighbours. And there is a friend offering a taxi service but needs to be booked in advance.

It’s amazing to see a place in different seasons, but also see how evolves during a season. If you plan to stay for more months you will be able to embrace a full season. See the changes in the landscape and the evolution of plants and nature. Experience more moonlights and new moons night. See the sun sunset changing position through the horizon. In a few words, you will be able to start to experience connection with nature.

How sounds to you to be a temporary inhabitant? Without the pressure to decide to move permanently in an area we will facilitate your experience as a resident, both in Tertulia farm both on the territory. Other ex colivers decided to live close to here for months, a few year or become permanent inhabitants.

Moving to a rural area can be not so easy at the beginning: we will introduce you to the challenges as well as the solutions, sharing our own rhythm of life and experience (we originally come from another area too…).
We’ll help you connect with the local community and get a real sense of how life flows around here.

There is also an opportunity to experience an active role in Tertulia if you like to.

You will be invited to progressively integrate into our team and local community through weekly meetings in which we discuss tasks and planning of the activities that we run. We have several areas (well-being, farm, events, maintenance, etc.) and upon your preferences, skill, curiosity you will be invited to join us when you will like to.

Your role will also include supporting us during the community meetings by helping facilitate the session dedicated to the weekly shared community tasks within the coliving.
For example, you could take responsibility for a specific area that interests you and coordinate with the team member in charge. 

Hands-on learning in farming,constructions, local projects, and land stewardship.

The life in rural areas and especially in a farmhouse offers a lot of opportunity to learn new skills and develop you DIY knowledge.

Farming is an important part of Tertulia life as we are involved in agroforestry projects to produce quality food from our landscape, and we are constantly managing, interacting, designing, learning, improving our way towards a more sustainable farming activity.

We are also involved in different local project on the territory in cooperation with our closer group of active people and with local residents and neighbors: if you would like to become part of activities, meetings,  events you will have the opportunity to experience the true flow of the life that we live in our area

When your stay is long or you come back for the second/third time you are invited to bring and develop your little project fif you like to contribute to Tertulia. This could be choosing an area of work and contribute actively to develop Tertulia project. As well can be something proposed by you, that you would like to develop, research on, create. Let’s discuss about your little project, once you are here or  even before you come and we are happy to support you in the process!
