Community

Nesting Away is built on the conviction that community doesn't happen by accident — it's designed through shared meals, intentional moments, and a carefully curated group of residents. Check-ins happen only on the 1st and 15th of each month, stays run 4–8 weeks minimum, and every applicant goes through a personal 15-minute discovery call with Fede or Ola. The reasoning is simple: one bad community member ruins everyone's experience.

The space welcomes remote workers who want genuine connection, not just a cheap bed — people who work seriously on their craft, respect shared spaces, and are open-minded. Activities like community dinners (3+ times per week), Nonna Maria's pasta-making classes, pool afternoons, wine nights, and group day trips are all optional but designed to make connection happen naturally, never forced.

Nesting Away also supports the local Orte community: guests eat at local restaurants, buy from local shops, and participate in authentic Italian life — becoming part of the community rather than passing tourists.

Who stays here

Activities

Hosts

How it started

Nesting Away was founded by Fede and Ola, who are remote workers themselves. Driven by the belief that colivings solve loneliness better than hotels ever could, they set out to create something deliberately different from the large, chaotic, impersonal colivings found in cities like Lisbon or Barcelona — places where guests meet on Tuesday and are gone by Friday.

Their answer was a small, founder-run space in the Italian countryside: not because countryside is trendy, but because it's where people actually slow down — sleeping better, focusing more, and forming deeper friendships. By settling near Orte, they also committed to giving back to the local community, bringing digital nomads to a real Italian town, boosting the local economy, and showcasing the charm of small Italian towns rather than adding to tourist-saturated cities.

Location

Vocabolo Villa Alberti, Orte, 01028, Italy

Nesting Away is set in a 450m² villa in the Italian countryside, approximately 2km from Orte — a medieval hilltop village in the province of Viterbo, Lazio. The surrounding landscape is characterised by rolling green hills, fruit trees, and wide open views, offering a tranquil and restorative environment far from urban noise.

The property sits about 1 hour north of Rome and 2 hours south of Florence, placing it at a crossroads between Lazio, Tuscany, and Umbria. The wider Tuscia region is known for its Etruscan heritage, ancient hilltop villages, thermal hot springs (Saturnia), and wine-growing estates.

Guests consistently describe the setting as peaceful and nature-immersed — "quiet nooks," birdsong, stargazing, and "rolling green hills with fresh mountain air." However, some note that the villa is fairly remote from Orte town: the 3km route involves a steep downhill walk with no sidewalk and a strenuous climb back up. The bus connection is available on weekdays but doesn't run on Sundays, and the last bus is around 6 PM. Guests with a car enjoy much greater independence.
