Kalart is a rural coliving community in the Montseny Valley, just 40km from Barcelona, within a UNESCO Natural Park. It brings together changemakers, entrepreneurs, and creatives in this off-the-beaten-path cultural hub. Kalart offers 15 private rooms, coworking spaces, and a daily communal vegetarian lunch, fostering a family-like community focused on personal growth and social impact.
Kalart was founded on three core principles: work-life balance, inspiring changemakers, and local & social impact. The community believes coliving and coworking in a sustainable, collaborative and rural environment can empower people to thrive. Kalart continues to evolve with its residents, who share a commitment to personal growth and positive impact, incorporating sustainable living and holistic wellbeing into everyday life.
Kalart calls its residents "changemakers" — generally aged 30-45, connected to the creative/cultural industry or social entrepreneurship, and clear about wanting to live purposefully. The local community is treated as an extended family, with residents networking with creatives and entrepreneurs from over a dozen nationalities at cultural and professional events. Life is organized through working groups (cleaning, garden, kitchen, programming) and communal meals, with a clear commitment to participate actively in the life of the house and of the valley. A significant share of long-term residents eventually settle permanently in the valley, remaining part of Kalart's "extended family."
Kalart began in 2018 when Nohemi and Roger transformed an old farm house in the Montseny Valley into Catalonia's first coliving space in the countryside. Their vision was simple but powerful: create a place where creative minds could come together and work on meaningful, eco-social impact projects in harmony with nature. Previously, they had launched projects in tourism, holistic wellness, and education; these experiences, combined with years of travelling, allowed Kalart to evolve into the multi-faceted social organisation it is today. The location in the Montseny Valley was chosen strategically, as the area had already developed into a cultural hub attracting artists, musicians, therapists, and yoga teachers since the late 1970s, creating a natural "migratory circuit" from Barcelona's alternative neighborhoods to the countryside.
Kalart is a rural farmhouse surrounded by farmland at the foot of the Montseny Natural Park (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve). The property sits in the Montseny Valley, between Sant Esteve and Santa Maria de Palautordera — a multicultural enclave home to over 16 nationalities, with a rich history of artists, circus performers, and creative communities who settled here from the 1970s onwards.
The valley is an ecological mosaic of beech forests, mountain rivers, and peaks such as the Turó de l'Home (1,708 m), with beautiful hiking trails that change with each season. Guests describe the surroundings as quiet and peaceful, with lush natural forest and mountains in every direction, and the local village of Sant Esteve de Palautordera — charming and lively, with a good variety of shops and restaurants — just a short walk away.
Despite its rural tranquility, the location is far from isolated: Barcelona is just 40 km away, Girona 50 km, and the Mediterranean coast is reachable in around 20–30 minutes by car.
