🏨 has short staysFine for a workation, but significant turnover works against coliving principles for a cohesive community; a longer minimum stay supports better interactions. What is coliving?⌨️ no dedicated workspaceNo issue if you're okay at a dining table, or will go to a nearby coworking, else not really intended for productivity.💁 has host / managerOften on site to give suggestions and take questions, but do not actively facilitate community.🤷 ranks poorlyAs a 'coliving' this space likely doesn't meet expectations — yet may be acceptable if you're not expecting too much.

I was really excited to stay here and very disappointed upon arrival. I booked for a month (which is the minimum) and stayed one night before leaving. The rooms are so dirty, I lay down and there was a scorpion in the bed. The shower was moldy and wouldn’t get hot. The rooms are also insanely hot. 35 degree weather and the rooms have no ac or even fans. No communal space. It was “under construction”. When I arrived other guests also complained that they had not had hot showers for weeks. There was also no one there when I arrived so I wandered around the building a while. When I requested a refund and offered to pay for a nightly fee, I was only offered 200 refund out of over 900. Really disappointed by the whole experience.
I fell in love with this place, thanks to Stina's exceptional organization and her genuine warmth. it's the perfect location if you want to explore both Tuscany and Umbria. During my stay, I formed meaningful friendschips. Stina has a wonderful eye for detail and takes care of the little things that make you feel instantly welcome and at ease. She is open, transparent and consistently reliable - a truly thoughtful host.
Very nice and quiet place to recover from city life. The owners, Stina and Magnus, are really friendly and make you feel at home. There is also a outside kitchen, perfect for enjoying meals together with other guests.
Calm and peaceful place with the perfect combination of own time and planned activities. We visited Il Fornello during the month of July with two small children, 5 and 3 years old and it suited our family perfectly. I would also like to come back myself to work. Large and clean apartment with the possibility to cook light meals indoors. Large and accessible outdoor kitchen that is perfect for cooking and enyoing foods and drinks. Both children and adults appreciated the pool. You need to have access to a car to get to nearby areas. We borrowed bikes to visit the nearest village. Great opportunity to socialize with other people and during our weeks we attended pizza nights, cooked pasta and watched movies. The owners and hosts were accommodating and always available for questions. We had a great time and will visit Il Fornello again soon❤️
I had a great stay at Il Fornello! I was there for a week, as I had a friend's wedding nearby and decided to stay in the area a little longer. It was a very relaxing place with good working areas (and good internet!!), and everything you need to feel at home. The owners, Stina & Magnus, were there at the time and were both super friendly and helpful. Plenty of nice towns with nice restaurants only a short drive away. I would come back in a heartbeat!
Amazing coliving place in a peaceful and beautiful place. Great memories with people from all horizons, learnt how to cook pizza in a wood oven and tasted delicious wines. The location is great to visit all the highlights in both Umbria and Tuscany (you need a car though). Dogs are also very welcome!
Something more than just a vacation. Here you can choose to either be by yourself or to be a part of the whole gang. Lovely nights cooking in the outdoor kitchen and talking to people from other places in the world.
Beautiful apartment and great with parking space.
