    About Growth

    Growth Coliving is located in the Casa Palacio de los Hidalgo de Linares, a hidden gem in the Galician woods. The coliving transforms remote work into a unique and productive natural experience, offering private rooms with forest views, Japanese hot springs nearby, and a community that dines together as a family while exploring hiking trails and connecting with nature.

    Origin story

    Three generations of the same family lived in the Casa Palacio de los Hidalgo de Linares. The second generation turned it into a rural hotel with a pool, and now, the third generation has given it new life as a coliving space. The transformation was designed for those who seek more than just accommodation - they are looking for an experience that transforms. The coliving is located next to a pioneer wood factory that belongs to the family, making them participants and defenders of a revolution that promises a greener and more sustainable future.

    Community philosophy

    The Growth community (the name comes from the town Crecente) is full of good vibes and loves to invite neighbors from the town to create a village-coliving connection. The philosophy centers on sharing as living - making it easier for people to get to know each other by dining together as a family, tasting delicious food from different places. The community believes in disconnecting from work to connect with nature and new friends, with the host setting up communal dinners where 2 people each day prepare dinner for everyone to share together on the outdoor terrace.

    Hosts

    Sergio, the host, will set up a small breakfast corner completely free of charge, so you don't have to worry about making breakfast and start the working day with energy, and you will have coffee, tea, juice, fruit and pastries.
