Just wow. This was my first coliving experience and I cannot express enough how absolutely wonderful it was. The property is well curated and perfectly set up for the remote nomad lifestyle with gig-fast internet and plenty of workspace options. The accommodations were perfect. Clean, spacious and a communal kitchen that actually serves as a functional kitchen! They have onsite amenities including laundry, a pool and shared refrigeration. Not to mention a short, but beautiful hike down to the lake perfect for a dose of nature and a swim!
That said - the real gem was the community of people that host and the individuals that the space attracts. I had an opportunity to learn more about Galicia and the local communities of Anceu and Ponte Caldelas. Including some incredible live music and pizza at Solfami!!
Communal dinners, daily activities and a bountiful dose of sobremesa. I can’t recommend Anceu Coliving enough!
Anceu coliving is a very special coliving with a warm and welcoming community! Before I came to Anceu for one month, I already heard about the coliving multiple times, so I wanted to check it out. Well, it was definitely worth it! I've met so many amazing people and the vibe was great. Also the facilities are good and the nature surrounding the place gives it a very calm and relaxing feel. It is more remote, so a car would be convenient. I would definitely recommend staying at Anceu coliving if you are looking for a place to do some remote work and enjoy your time with like-minded people :)
During my travels around the world I’ve visited countless colivings. In those journeys I would always ask around what colivings did people recommend and more often than not the name Anceu Coliving would pop up. It piqued my interest how this coliving in a remote village in Galicia could attract hundreds of digital nomads all around the world. That’s why this year I decided to check for myself…
What I’ve found is a community driven coliving with a focus on social projects, arts and technology. Is as nothing I’ve seen before. Surrounded by the forest one feels in sync with nature and gives you peace and clarity. I’ve loved every moment, from the 3 days a week shared dinners, to the family meetings and the initiatives involving the local people to the fully equipped coworkings and cafeteria.
Its truly a magical place and I know for sure that when people ask me what coliving do I recommend visiting, my answer is clear: Anceu Coliving.
I spent 2 months at Anceu Coliving, I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking to connect with a beautiful community, hiking in stunning nature and immerse themselves into local Spanish culture. Thank you Augustin and Africa for creating such a special place ❤️
Afri and Agus have built a truly welcoming place. I highly recommend spending time here, connecting with others, and enjoying the outdoors. Can't wait to come back!
I spent 1 month in Anceu Coliving, and it is one of the best experiences I ever had since I started traveling. Being in a community where you feel seen and respected was special. I love how they organize the activities we do together while you still have space and time for your work. The surrounding nature is just stunning. It is perfect to hiking, grounding, reconnecting and contemplating and meditating. I love how they organized the spaces. Whether you want to connect with others, focus on work, chill or be in nature, there are spaces for all of that. I highly recommend staying at Anceu Coliving.
This community is so special. Once you found them on Galician map, you want to be back every year. It is not only coliving, it is a group of people with beautiful values, ideas and being naive enough to plant seeds for our common, good life.
My partner Carly and I had the BEST two months staying at Anceu. It's a really special but also very down to earth community. The site is like a rural paradise, with a swimming pool next to a forest, and a really well designed site that enables people to find their best space to work. Communal dinners are the highlight, which lead to bonding, jokes, dancing and wonderful memories. The community is very explicitly dog friendly, and they really mean it. They are not just 'dog tolerant', they celebrate dogs, accept all sorts of personalities, and work with you to make your dog feel comfortable and safe, and so much more. Our nervous rescue dog over a period of two months lived his best life. Finally, the founders - Agustin and Africa - are remarkable people, but also again down to earth and relatable. They establish the foundations at Anceu but also create the space for others to step into leadership roles and take space. It all feels very seamless but it is apparent that so much work, organisation and love goes into it. The organisation for cooking, food, expenses and communication is really well thought out and makes the experience that much enjoyable. We will be back for sure! Josh and Carly x

We were based at Anceu coliving for over 4 months (that’s how much we loved this place). Honestly when we arrived the first time following this road that was getting narrower and narrower, we wondered if we took the wrong way. But no, at the very end of the road we came across this big house all renovated in the middle of nature. The place really has everything we love! We chat, we work, we cook, we share moments with the other colivers, we go for a walk, we do sports, we have some drinks (the coffee liquor in Galicia 😉 ), we watch TV shows, we play guitar… Frankly it is super cool and we are very happy to find the coliving atmosphere… — 2024 by Benoit→ Read more
