Meet the team

We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to Tertulia. Together, we work every day to make Tertulia an increasingly welcoming place — a space of care, peace, and a deep passion for nature, where you can feel right at home. We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Since 2022, he’s been a permanent local after experiencing the coliving. Always ready to share inspiration and support — a true friend is a treasure!

Filù

Filù

I’m always on the lookout for cuddles, napping wherever I can, and waiting for the cooler hours of the day. Not exactly a big fan of action!

Daddy

Daddy

I fell in love with Filù and discovered coliving! I decided to live at Tertulia (even though my owners are in the house next door). Want to go hiking with me?

Chickens and eggs

The 'girls'

We take care of your energizing breakfast by providing fresh eggs every day. Just keep an eye out for predators — we love the forest, but it can get a little 'crowded' out there.

The Forest

It might be surprising to say the trees and the forest are part of our team — but these amazing living beings constantly show us how to live in community. And there’s so much to learn from them...

Welcome to our home!

Giorgia, Gaele, Flora, and Samira are more than happy to welcome you to Tertulia! Together with Francesco, they are the family that built Tertulia and still bring life, color, and sounds to the family house. They live in Borgo San Lorenzo during the school year, but you’ll often see them around on weekends.

Giorgia is a psychotherapist with a studio in Borgo San Lorenzo, where she works, supports people seeking help and organizes Mindfulness groups.

You’ll meet us sometimes at shared dinners, parties, and activities at Tertulia. Sometimes we need our family space and rest at home after an intense week of study and work. We love listening to your stories, learning and improving our English, and we hope to be able to travel like you sometime soon!

Family in the mountains

team with us!

We’re a group of friends, people connected to this territory, working to bring new life and opportunities to our rural area and make living here even better. We’re all local residents, but with different stories: some of us were born here, others arrived years ago, and some more recently. We come from different countries and we’re always curious to meet new people.

We’re an informal group who loves spending time together and getting involved in activities and local initiatives. At the same time, we’re also an association with bigger ideas and more ambitious projects.

Sometimes we gather at Tertulia, sometimes at one of our homes — and we’re always happy to share, connect, and make new friends. And of course, we’d love to welcome you if you’d like to help out with any of our projects!
