Conscious and intentional coliving, coworking and retreats for mindful humans. We believe it’s time to rewrite our stories, unlearn our societal conditioning and find our way back to community-based living.
Here at our beautiful villa immersed in nature, you will be surrounded by the breathtaking rolling hills of the Monti Dauni, enriched with flora, fauna, forests and fresh air.
Nestled in 2 hectares of its own fenced-up grounds, the villa’s land contains a variety of plentiful fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a wonderfully serene private oak forest, perfect for morning meditations. We also have plans to plant a perennial edible forest garden.

I’ve come here for the coliving for the second time, the first time being last year for a couple of weeks. This time I did a whole one month, in my quest to do slower travel in my digital nomad era. It’s a lovely well-equipped cosy villa in a tranquil village, both full of lovely welcoming people. I stayed in The Purple Room, which is very spacious, enough to do some exercise in there and work in different parts of the room, as well as a cozy armchair and balcony overlooking the lovely back garden. I would often switch between working in my room and working in the coworking area of the living room, both with plenty of light.
The nature of being in a small village and small coliving community meant that I was less likely to get so distracted like I would in a city. There is some organisation of activities and processes in La Vita Sukha, but it’s also pretty flowy and adaptable, so there’s less chance of overwhelm. I had a lot of time and space to work on my personal writing and drawing projects. We also did plenty of group activities together, such as several group meals in and out of the house, dance parties, art workshops, art exhibitions, pasta making, hiking, sharing circles, bonfire and gardening (feed the resident chickens and pick your own fruit!).
I’m not a cat person, but I grew fond of the resident cat, Chopin — she is quite cute and I even painted her! The host Liz is very welcoming and hands on, as she’s in the house every day, so she’s not some remote host. You can easily ask her for help in the house as much as you can have a good time socialising with her and the other coliving mates. She’s also receptive to ideas and feedback — she liked my suggestion of having an activity board and bought one for me to set up. She’s a very open-minded, friendly and free-spirited person that attracts a lot of the same sort of people (like me!) to stay at her villa coliving. So if that’s your vibe, come stay at La Vita Sukha! 😃👍
Nestled just on the edge of the lovely, tiny town of Rosetta, La Vita Sikha offers comfort, charm, tranquility & much more. Liz, the proprietor, is offering an especially attractive, intentional community lifestyle where guests preferably learn to become eco-conscious residents and contribute to the upkeep of property’s lovely grounds. In my case, learning how to make salsa and pasta were offered
I stayed at La Vita Sukha for only a short time (about a week) but it was definitely impactful! Roseto is a beautiful, very small Italian town that feels untouched by the rest of the world. If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is the town for you. La Vita Sukha is a beautiful home that Liz has put a lot of love into. I met some really interesting and kind people during my time- some were retired, some were digital nomads. If you like to live sustainably (saving water and electricity, working together on the land), then you will definitely enjoy and value living in this community. I'd love to find a time to go back for longer, perhaps in the summer months when town is lively! Thanks for everything, Liz!
My partner and I stayed at La Vita Sukha for two months this spring to learn about co-living and permaculture and it was a really enriching experience! Liz is an amazing, warm and genuine human being and we have made a friend for life! And did I mention she's hilarious!?
My favourite part of the stay was being embedded in the town's daily vibe and culture. It's as authentic as they come -- we seemed like the only tourists in town and on market day we had to put our student hats on and use our Italian to ask for fruits and veggies. We were lucky to see the Easter procession in town which has been going on for generations. The town has the basic necessities like a pharmacy, two small stores, and of course a cafe bar! For larger grocery runs, Liz drives into the local city a few times per month and we hitched a ride.
The villa itself is very roomy and there are lots of places to sit down with your laptop, including a large living room with some work desks. We had a really big room with an ensuite bathroom and balcony which has a clothesline for laundry day.
I volunteered to look after the chickens every day - feeding them scraps, cleaning the coop and fetching the eggs was a really awesome experience. And I was blessed with Chopin the cat standing on my lap after seven weeks of side-eye. She's a tough nut to crack, but once you do, she's all about the love.
Liz's vision for the villa is grand and ambitious and amazing, but that's who she is. Bigger than life with a big heart and bigger dreams.
I enjoyed my experience at La Vita Sukha Co-living immensely. The accommodations were comfortable for living and equipped for everything I needed to complete online work. The concept of ecological co-living is visionary and Liz is admirably dedicated to it! The village of Roseto Valfatore provides a wonderful and charming small Italian town cultural experience, and I enjoyed daily walks in the countryside. If you're seeking a positive and engaging co-living experience, and especially if you believe in ecologically sound , living, I can't recommend La Vita Sukha enough.
I co-lived at La Vita Sukha for 2 weeks and had the most amazing time. The community Liz has built is incredibly kind, generous with their knowledge and a creative open minded space. I learnt a lot this past two weeks about new things, like psychedelic breathwork and deep house, as well as having the time and space to reflect more deeply about myself. It was a lovely, restful retreat where you have time to authentically interact with the local community, support the local economy by buying fresh produce from local farmers, and explore a lesser known part of Italy. If you’re thinking of going, do it!
I spent a month at La Vita Sukha from August to September this year.
I fell in love with the villa, location, lifestyle and developed a really good bond with Liz. Now the place feels like a second home for me, and I'm returning again at the end of the month.
When I first arrived Liz and Rhodri gave me a warm welcome, and helped me to integrate into the local community.
I can't recommend La Vita Sukha enough as a digital nomad, especially those in a creative field, I feel my ideas and creative work is supercharged in their environment.
