A thoughtfully hand-selected in-house library creates a distinctly bookish, contemplative atmosphere that guests repeatedly cite as a highlight and a reason to linger.

About Enchanted Coliving

Enchanted Coliving is a cozy countryside retreat in Nachamps, France, designed for slow living, creativity, and meaningful connection. Set in a beautiful old French country house surrounded by nature, it hosts a maximum of nine colivers, offering the perfect balance between deep connection and personal space. From a cozy library and fireplace to an enchanted garden, outdoor cinema, and Saturday market cooking nights, every corner invites inspiration.

Origin story

Bianca, the creator of Enchanted Coliving, spent years staying in colivings across Europe — including Anceu, Cloud Citadel, Château, and Burgas. Experiencing the communities they built and the magic of living outside of a city made her fall in love with this way of life.

It felt natural to take the next step — to create a space of her own, inspired by what she had learned and loved. She moved to the French countryside with a clear intention: not just to slow down and reconnect, but to create a space where others could do the same. She wanted a home that felt warm, inspiring, and deeply rooted in a way of life that values creativity, meaningful connections, and quiet moments of introspection.

That's how Enchanted Coliving was born — with the hope of creating more than just a place to stay, but a space designed for thinkers, dreamers, and creators.

Community philosophy

Enchanted Coliving is built around the belief that connection feels natural when the environment is right. The community is intentionally small — a maximum of nine colivers — creating the perfect balance between connecting deeply with others and having space for oneself.

Mornings are slow and intentional, and Sunday brunches are phone-free. Food is seen as being at the heart of community and connection: every Saturday, fresh seasonal produce from the local market finds its way into shared cooking nights. Community activities — from board games and an outdoor cinema to guided regional explorations — foster friendships and create memorable shared experiences.

The space is designed for thinkers, dreamers, and creators, where ideas flow as freely as conversation, and the garden grows alongside the projects and passions of those who pass through.
