It was March 2026. The city had us feeling a little overwhelmed, and we wanted nature. After long hours searching for a rural coliving in Spain, Acougo Pitasana appeared, in Asturias. And honestly, coliving was the least thing it was. I will tell you why.
I wrote to them, and Noelia replied. We didn’t know each other yet, but I felt the connection. All my doubts were answered: if it was easy to arrive without a car (yes, there was public transport from Navia), if there was a place to buy food daily (yes, with everything), if the kitchen was equipped (yes, and professional!). We even received a full video of our studio and the house. We chose it, and it became one of those decisions you don’t regret and want to fully recommend.
Look, we were going for 2 months, and we stayed 3.
We found a place that cannot be called only coliving. A place that connects people, where you can stop and feel the present life. And something curious happens with the people that stay at these kinds of places: we all connect. We travel differently. Every place we step into, we live it slowly. Without rushing.
Of course, we connected with the hearts of the house: the coffee machine, the fireplace, the kitchen, the details that Noelia cared for. There were always flowers she brought from her walks, and some of them we even ate. Noelia has an energy that makes you live more lives than the ones you have.
And Pablo, with his easy way and willingness, made us feel comfortable. He is someone you can talk to openly about anything, always ready to solve things and to keep the house alive in every sense. He even played “Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers on the guitar, and we sang it together.
We were passing through. But it is beautiful to know that they are there, becoming a bridge for people searching for a place to live, while also helping their town not to become empty. It was impressive to see how, in only 3 years, 12 families have stayed after living the Acougo experience. More than what any government program has achieved.
Noelia taught me, by creating community, that you can have nothing in life, NOTHING, but if you have someone by your side, EVERYTHING changes.
Every week we had organized experiences that helped us know each other more and get closer to art.
We loved the rituals, from making elderflower wine to drinking it on the solstice. We sang, danced, fish trout, lit fires, swam in the river, walked, ate, shared, painted. The people we met during this spring became friendships we will carry for life, and with whom we will surely meet again.
The house, actually 3 houses, is very comfortable. The kitchen is spacious, the dining room has a huge table, we watched movies and had conversations next to the fireplace. We had our own bar, terrace, and library. It was so cool. Now they just finished the coworking, a beautiful space to work in Boal. The studios and rooms all have private bathrooms and comfy beds.
Everything was just a few steps away: shops, the Monday market, bread and fish at Acougo’s door, delivery of organic fruits and vegetables. WOW. Boal has a post office, health center, banks, and even a supermarket where you find everything. And what you don’t find, arrives at your door. Pitasana farm, 25 minutes walking, is beautiful and you can feel the love they have for it. Every year they celebrate a festival there, called Pitafesta, and I would definitely come back for it.
What I take with me the most is the excitement of seeing you again: Xurde (how much you will have grown), Pablo (cari ;) and Noelia (living energy), who opened their hearts so we could enter into them. It is beautiful to know that we have great friends in Asturias, people we can always count on. That is something you cannot buy. And something we want to keep alive forever.
Highly recommend this place. I’ve stayed at a few co-living spaces, but Acougo Pitasana really sets a new standard. I spent several months here and plan on coming back for the winter.
First off, the space itself is incredibly well thought out and honestly the cleanest co-living I’ve experienced. If you like to cook, you’re going to love it here. The kitchen is professional-level, big, easy to clean, and has everything you need. On top of the great physical space, Noelia organizes awesome group activities, like local hikes, wine making, and poetry nights.
The location in Boal is something special. The town itself is small, lively, and incredibly welcoming to outsiders. You can walk right onto beautiful hiking paths straight from town, and the surrounding area has some of the most dramatic views and fun exploring I've come across.
But what really sets this place apart is the energy from Noelia, Pablo, and their family. They genuinely care about the community they are building and their mission here, and you feel that warmth every day. It makes all the difference. If you are looking for a community-driven co-living space in Spain where you can actually connect and explore, this is it. Super grateful I've crossed paths with Acougo.
I had a wonderful stay at Acougo Coliving and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful place surrounded by nature.
One of my favorite things was being able to start beautiful walks directly from the house. The calmness of the area makes it easy to slow down, relax, and enjoy the surroundings.
I also really loved the activities we did, especially the basket-making, flower workshop, and cheese-making experience.
Noelia and Pablo are genuinely lovely people. They create a warm, welcoming atmosphere and care about their guests and the experience they have.
The room was comfortable, the price offers great value, and overall I was very happy with my stay. Thank you for creating such a special place!
Such an amazing place to be. Boal is a quiet village surrounded by breathtaking views. Acougo is a home for anyone who gets there. Noelia and Andrés attrack beautiful souls such as their own. Highly recommend this experience.✨💕
Our 25 day stay at Acougo was honestly not great as Black Americans. We had an uncomfortable interaction with Noelia regarding us being unable to assist with set up/prep for an event of hers due to genuine miscommunication. As a result, she rudely called us out in a group chat of 60+ people for not coming to help pull together an event she did not adequately prepare for and was scrambling to pull together on the day of/did not properly coordinate for despite our attempts prior. The host, in her guilt, was unable to let it go, further ostracizing us as the only black, queer individuals in the space by repeatedly and publicly apologizing at said event and then constantly asking if we were okay/happy in the space following and pressuring us for explanations when we did not want to in the following events, both privately and in front of others.
We decided to shorten our 2 month stay by 1 month and Noelia shared that information with others in the coliving space promptly. We were then continuously questioned about our private reservation change moving forward by multiple residents that had witnessed the previous uncomfortable/rude interaction, which made us more uncomfortable. As someone hosting women it is not good practice to share private reservation information with virtual strangers who would not have had access to our information otherwise. It was really unprofessional and she never apologized for violating our privacy or acknowledged it. Still.
This is not including several other ignorant behaviors that made us uncomfortable: a hand gesture imitating our ancestors being hung in an uncomfortable conversation about slavery that her and her husband initiated, trying to engage us in conversation about how upset she was that her son called the new Peruvian student at school “n***o”(a racial slur based on skin tone), continuously using dark skin emojis when neither her nor her husband are anything of the sort (fully white European), wearing a historically black cultural/protective hairstyle and insisting our hair is the same unprovoked and repeatedly (I have locs and am fully African American), her husband asking us what we knew about the Bronx (I’m from New York) and “gangsters/gang banging” even though I repeatedly told him over the course of the month that I am not from there/unfamiliar, etc.
We were fully willing to chalk this up to small town ignorance but consistent, overt micro-aggressions like these, however unconscious, are hurtful and uncomfortable. Especially from people who claim to be so inclusive and culturally aware and are trying to get people of all kinds to move to their town.
And yet, Noelia is still trying to defend their actions/business instead of just acknowledging these things they were clearly ignorant of and making a conscious effort to do better moving forward. Of course no one else that has stayed there has had these issues, we are the first Black Americans! Most of their guests are white/from Spain. Just take accountability instead of trying to argue/debunk our genuine experience and do better moving forward, truly. The response of Acougo to these very real experiences says it all.
(Writing this review here because the owner had it removed from Airbnb) BLACK AND BROWN GUESTS BEWARE. I stayed here in October 2025 and had a poor experience due to racist aggressions from both hosts. Every time we interacted with the hosts, my partner and I had to brave some new challenge, from the host constantly asking us about “gangs” and crime simply because we are black people to using black emojis and wearing our cultural styles to name just a few. The location is in the middle of nowhere and if not for the scenic mountain views it would drive someone crazy. There are church bells that ring every few minutes, that sometimes last for 5 minutes at a time. There is no reliable transportation out of the town you are staying in and you will have to be reliant on the hosts to transport you anywhere if you need food or want to see anything besides the small town. There aren’t many walkable trails that are easy to access unless you want to walk for hours (not exaggerating) just to get to an actual mountain. Adding pictures to affirm did in fact stay here.
Again great scenery, just very prejudiced hosts with little access to the outside world.
I’m very grateful to have connected with Acougo de Pitasana. This space weaves together a beautiful combination of accommodation and community. I highly recommend for short or long term stays. It has been great to be connected to the Pitasana farm nearby, a wonderful source of organic vegetables. There is also an abundance of hiking right at the doorstep and the ocean is a short drive away.
My experience at Acougo de Pitasana was truly exceptional. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, but what made it unforgettable were the people. The hosts, Noelia and Pablo, were kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, creating a warm connection not only with me but among all the guests. The service was diligent and heartfelt, the atmosphere full of good energy and friendly smiles. Even the village itself radiates hospitality — everyone makes you feel at home. A beautiful place to enjoy authentic cuisine and authentic human connection in a splendid region.
