A community home for remote workers, travellers, and digital nomads from all over the world, up the mountains above Lake Maggiore. We welcome everyone to stay with us, from one week to longer.
A place to focus on your projects in a peaceful atmosphere, with a shot of Italian espresso, and a garden view. People connect best over time spent together — the house cooks and eats together, and takes part in curated and organically organised activities, workshops and skill shares. Beautiful viewpoints, picturesque Italian towns, wonderful local food, and days out on Lago Maggiore and its beaches.
Nov–March have events, with restricted booking requiring a discovery call.

I’ve now stayed at Montino Coliving for the second time, and coming back truly felt like returning home.
The hosts have created a very special place where remote workers can immediately feel comfortable and at ease. The coliving is located slightly above Lake Maggiore in the mountains, which means the temperatures remain very pleasant even in the middle of summer.
The real highlight, however, is the people and the community. During both of my stays, I met incredibly kind, inspiring, and wonderful people who made the experience truly special. Cooking and sharing dinner together every evening is always one of the highlights.
The rooms and coworking spaces are also excellent, and the super-fast Starlink internet makes it a perfect place to work remotely.
Highly recommended! I’m already looking forward to coming back next year. ;-)
tl;dr - had fun, will definitely come back.
I stayed in a private room with a private bathroom.
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, it had a small table and a closet and was dark and quiet in the morning.
Getting there takes a while, but it's worth it because the area is amazing. You can choose between several hikes, take the bus to town and go to the beach, visit nearby villages etc.
The atmosphere is a typical co-living experience - you have a workspace, shared kitchen, living room and dining room, very large yard, yoga studio, a small workout area and a very large yard. During your stay you're encouraged to participate in shared activities and contribute from your own experience. The hosts are nice and helpful, they assist with getting by, groceries runs etc.
I had a great coliving experience in Montino. The location is very quiet, surrounded by nature, while still being close to a couple of towns with more services. The property has everything you need, and my room was spacious and comfortable. We had dinner together with the other guests, and the hosts, Oren and Talya, were very welcoming.
I spent a week twice and it was a great experience
It's a great place to relax, work remotely and participate in the community activities
So quiet and peaceful!
We spent a week in picturesque Montino. We were warmly welcomed.We felt like a beloved part of the Montino famiIy
The house is located in a fairytale alpine landscape. From the house we set off on the mountain roads to the surrounding towns, as we marvel at the breathtaking green landscape and the unique houses planted in it. We had a great time. Montino allows you to stop the race of life, breathe, enjoy the beauty of nature and also feel part of a warm community. Feel peaceful and be filled with good energy
We spent a week with our full family of nine, ages ranging from 10 to 75, celebrating my mom’s and aunt’s birthdays, and the place couldn’t have been more perfect for it!
It didn’t take long before the Montinos made us feel right at home. Staying here is like joining a small commune, or even a kibbutz, just for a short while. You have your own private space and you can always find the peace and quite you need, but there’s always the chance to mingle and never feel alone if you don’t want to. Within just a few days, we even started calling it “going back home.”
Some of our favorite moments were the shared community dinners, including one big festive evening that felt truly special, and a spontaneous jam session that turned into a night to remember.
The whole place is wonderfully quiet, exactly what you want on a getaway. In the mornings, before everyone else woke up, I found the workspace peaceful and loved being able to work quietly.
Montino sits in a remote spot on a hill, overlooking the incredible Mangarea Lake. It’s nestled in a picture-perfect little village, where every ride feels like a postcard.
Even though it rained and stormed for much of our stay, we shifted our plans and still had a fantastic time. We enjoyed exploring Verbana, the main city, riding the ferries, touring the islands (don’t miss the palace!), and eating our way through the local spots. Every trip turned into something exciting and memorable for our group.
Despite the weather, the week was amazing. We felt at home, and we’ll definitely be back.
Trully amazing mixture between nature, good facilities and great community.
A bit away from shops, but still groceries have never been a problem. Working areas, internet, coffee - everything is well prepared and you wouldn't miss anything!
Staying at Montino Coliving exceeded all my expectations! Being surrounded by like-minded digital nomads, working in a comfortable space, sharing fun communal meals and deep conversations about life, business, and family. It was an amazing experience! And all of it surrounded by nature. I honestly wish I could have stayed longer.
