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 spent a month at Montino and had such a wonderful experience! The community was welcoming, the food was great, and I met so many lovely, interesting people.
The hosts took us to beautiful viewpoints around the area and out for aperitivo. They put so much care into making Montino a warm, clean, comfortable home. They provide kitchen staples like yogurt, eggs, pasta, rice, milk, and more, and offer rides to the supermarket when needed. There’s always someone happy to listen and help with anything you need.
Evenings were often spent playing board games or having jam sessions. During my stay, the organized activities included meditation and yoga, and community members also shared their skills through workshops, including watercolor painting. It made the whole experience feel creative and enriching.
The lake is about a 30-minute drive away. I spent a day exploring the islands with two women I met at Montino, which was such a beautiful and fun outing.
It was a lovely month full of connection, creativity, and good memories. Highly recommended!
I recently stayed in Montino for a month and loved it. The owners are friendly, they enshrine good atmosphere, other guests were nice too and there was a truly sense of community. The place is suitable for digital nomads, for people who want to take vacation but be able to work remotely, for solo travellers as well as for couples, and just anyone who wants to spend time in the mountains away from the heat in the summer.
This was my second summer staying at Montino Coliving, and I already know I’ll be coming back.
What makes this place so special is its amazing community of digital nomads and remote workers. It’s incredibly easy to connect with like-minded people, and you feel welcome from the very first day.
The owners are some of the kindest people I’ve met. They have created a truly magical place where you instantly feel at home. The beautiful old house is located about 30 minutes above Lake Maggiore, surrounded by nature. The large green garden is perfect for relaxing, and you can start hiking through the forest right from the doorstep. Whether it’s hiking, cycling, enjoying the breathtaking views over the lake, or taking trips to Lake Maggiore and exploring the Borromean Islands, there’s always something to do.
Montino is also an excellent place to work. The internet is fast and reliable, making remote work effortless. One of my favorite parts is the daily community dinner, where two guests cook for everyone each evening. It’s a wonderful tradition that brings everyone together and creates a real sense of community.
Pets are also very welcome, which makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for an inspiring place to work remotely, connect with amazing people, and enjoy nature, I can’t recommend Montino enough. It’s much more than a coliving space. It’s a home away from home, and I can’t wait to come back.
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
