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
Fantastic, but very remote Coliving, if that’s what you’re looking for, and to get away from the world (though still with very fast internet), this is the place for you. Friendly community that shares meals Monday to Friday, and arranges inclusive activities for everyone around. Unlike most colivings, there are several coworking spaces, which give you gray variety depending on how you’re feeling, and there’s a LOT of outdoor space for when the weather is cooperating!
Anceu co-living is one of the best spots where you can go achieve a perfect balance between work and relaxation. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to work and spend some time in an enriching community vibe or simply have an extended work holiday. The place is perfect, in the middle of rural Galicia surrounded by an incredible nature. I was there the last two summers and I will repeat again.
Anceu Coliving is one of those places you're hesitant to tell others, because you love it so much and you want to keep it to yourself and your social circle.
I visited Anceu Coliving with my husband and our dog during their soft opening month in July 2020. It was an unusually dry and sunny summer in Galicia. And for two weeks, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. It was our first rural coliving experience and we were blown away by the space, the community, and the beautiful natural surroundings.
The accommodations were comfortable, cosy and charming. We loved cooking in the huge fully equipped kitchen, sharing recipes with others, and participating in cooking workshops organised by fellow colivers.
There were plenty of coworking space options, indoors and outdoors. Sometimes I would work from a hammock under an oak tree in the forest or on a sunbed by the pool. I also enjoyed working in the dining room, close to the espresso machine 😂.
They have an organic garden where they grow seasonal vegetables to share with the colivers. The local fishmonger comes by once or twice a week delivering fresh seafood in her van. The eggs are fresh and organic from their kind neighbours. A truly rural Spanish village kinda life!
We especially loved that Anceu is surrounded with nature. In fact, the forest and river are minutes away by foot. We did some waterfall trekking, river bathing and hiking on the weekends. Our dog was in heaven (yes, they're pet-friendly)!
Some of the colivers generously shared their skills during their stay: yoga and meditation classes, branding and marketing workshops, forest bathing, fitness trainings, tiramisu masterclass, cocktail class, etc. Never a dull moment.
We enjoyed every second of our stay there and fell in love with the community vibe. Congratulations and thank you Agustín for doing such an amazing job with this beautiful project! We love it so much we're coming back this fall!
I'll never forget my days in Anceu. It's a magical place where to work, relax and connect with nature and many different people. It felt like home to me and that's something that Agustin and all the people I met made possible. Thank you for that! I can't wait to come back and see how the project grows and evolves!
What a gem of a place - spent two beautiful weeks here and would happily spend many more. Agustin, the owner, is wonderful person and he has created an oasis away from the hectic pace of the world. Come here to work, to play, to retreat from it all and experience the peace of Anceu Coliving.
