Tertulia Forest Coliving

Briefly, coliving means living and working sharing the same space with people who share your lifestyle. In Tertulia, it means living in a conscious and sustainable way, working remotely in a place surrounded by unspoiled nature, feeling at home from the first moment in the company of a small, dynamic and welcoming community of people. And being able to take a walk directly from the front door!

If you are looking for a place surrounded by nature where you can meet other people who, like you, can work remotely and wish to develop their projects and experience community, you are in the right place! Since 2020, Tertulia Coliving has been a place open to digital nomads, creatives, people in a transformative phase of their lives, curious travellers, interested in comparison and eager to experience a stimulating and enriching time.

Our coliving is a farmhouse in the forest of Mugello, one hour far from Florence. We have 12 spots in three different kind of accommodations, from private room to shared bedrooms, and also communal kitchen, coworking and outdoor spaces.

Perfect, it is precisely what we feel is important: to offer the possibility of staying in a remote place in the woods, to live with the rhythms of nature and the seasons, even if only for a few days, living in the coliving house in Tertulia where we have lived since 2005 (before we lived in the city center of Milan!). You will also have the opportunity to get closer to basic knowledge, the vegetable garden, light the fire, make wood, interact with the hens. These days, learning how to produce food is a resource that should not be underestimated.

Of course! We have designed our space to empower community building and sharing. Your group, team building or retreat, for example, will find the best spot immersed in nature to live a meaningful experience. Just contact us!

We advise and invite you to consider staying at least a month. That is why we have rates with significant reductions for those who decides to stay at least 4 weeks. In a month you will have time to experience the place, to visit the surrounding area, to take your time for your projects but above all you will have time to meet other people, to exchange, to listen to your feelings in a life experience with transformative power. And the people you meet will also be happy to have time to get to know you, to meet you in a rhythm of life with time to spare.

You can book only weekly stays. The minimum stay is 2 weeks. Arrivals and departures are on Saturdays to help us with the planning and organizations of tasks and to help the community in welcoming new people.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have specific needs or scheduling constraints and would like more flexibility in planning your stay.

We offer three options: private rooms with bathroom (Villa), private room with shared bathroom (Farmhouse 1st floor) or bed in shared bedroom (Farmhouse ground floor). See here for more info.

Tertulia Coliving is in the original structure of 1700, consisting of 8 newly renovated spacious and well-kept rooms, with private or shared bathroom, a cozy coworking space, a living room, a multifunctional room, a kitchen equipped like at home with a large fireplace where you can have lunch, a veranda with tables, outdoor workstations, garden and woods just outside the front door, and natural gardens with seasonal vegetables.

A fast reliable connection is granted thanks to a satellite provider (Starlink). To prevent failures we have a backup connection too with FWA 5G technology. Average download speed is 200 Mb/s and upload is 20 Mb/s, which allows a perfect experience for calls.

You will have two coworking rooms 24/7 and a small room for private calls. Every room has a workstation and WiFi is also available outdoors (the best office is the one with the best inspiring view).

Bed linen, towels and a weekly housekeeping service of the communal spaces are provided (bi-weekly in the rooms). Wi-Fi internet connection is available throughout the space. The fully equipped Con-Vivio kitchen is at your disposal and is also equipped with fridges and dishwasher. We provide you with fair trade coffee, olive oil, sugar and salt. You have free access 7 days a week at all hours to the coworking room. You can use the barn, a multifunctional room equipped with a beamer. Of course you have access to all the meadows and woods in and around Tertulia. You can participate in some of Tertulia's activities such as 'farm activation', bread baking, cinema in the barn etc.

At your disposal in the honesty bar you will find various organic and seasonal products from our territory and our production: just write down your consumption and then serve yourself, at the end of the stay you can settle your bill. It is important for us in Tertulia to base our relationship on trust.

On Mondays we plan a community meeting to coordinate together, introduce ourselves and get to know each other, listen to the ideas and proposals of the colivers for the activities we want to do, and discuss shared dinners organization. This is the time to organize ourselves and make the most of our stay in Tertulia.

We eat dinners together. For lunch just do your own snack as everyone is on a different schedule. For morning and mid-day tasks you can be as flexible as necessary. For dinners you will be contributing in cooking and helping in the kitchen, according to your schedule, skills, desire. A little bit of help by everyone makes things easier for all.

We plan at least two groceries moments in the week, according to needs and availability of cars from colivers, both for personal food and for shared dinners. Some planning is requested to have available on site all ingredients necessary for each gourmet menu!

Are you a lover of trekking or mountain biking? There is plenty of choice! Are you fascinated by a territory where wild and cultivated meet? Just take a tour and you can easily spot wild animals, see intact woods, but also vineyards and olive groves and sheep farms. The famous Mugello racetrack can also be visited to see minor events (and not just the MotoGP). Rivers and lakes for swimming in the summer. The history of the Second World War from the Futa pass where there is the Germanic cemetery. The Etruscan finds. Many small villages to discover. And much more…

We know that mobility is a 'basic freedom'. If you cannot come with your car you will face the issue of rural mobility — the chronic scarcity of remote areas. Our solution is a shared car, available for local movements (groceries, go to a hike starting point, go to a restaurant, go for a dive in ponds, go to train station…). You will have to rent a car for weekends or longer trips. Car pooling is another option: we often move to the town and we can offer rides, as well as some of our neighbours. And there is a friend offering a taxi service but it needs to be booked in advance.
