I have very fond memories of staying at Tertulia for 2 weeks in May which felt much longer. Francesco is an incredibly generous, sensitive and inspiring person who creates a sense of community among the colivers and local people. Beyond a great coliving experience, I appreciated a lot him inviting us to meet people outside of the coliving and participate in his volunteering projects, regardless us not speaking Italian.
The coliving itself is quite remote from everything, in a genuinely rural and local part of Italy. As I wasn’t looking for bubbling activities but for the time to connect with nature and people, it was a perfect choice.
The endless sunsets and sunrises, dogs accompanying us for a run, morning yoga on the green hills, community dinners and a lovely company — I really felt at my place.
Tertulia Farm is a perfect gateway for those seeking rest and connection with like-minded individuals. The farm has lots of green space for walks and hikes nearby, and its elevation provides stunning sunsets every day. Guests are self-reliant and contribute to the harmony and well-being of the house. The rooms are cozy and charming, and waking up to sunlight and birdsong every morning is delightful. Every Monday, you and your homies will plan activities for the week and decide who will cook. Cooking together is a great opportunity to engage with others and build connections, though there's no pressure to socialize if you need solo time. Francesco, the host, is reliable and always available to help with any issues. I had a wonderful time, made new friends, and already miss everyone. If you're looking for a real co-living experience focused on community and set in nature, this is the place for you!
Amazing experience, perfect for escaping city life and reconnecting with nature in a beautiful remote location.
I came without a car, but it was fine - there is a communal car that one can rent but also a lot of people came with their own cars so we would organise between ourselves grocery shopping trips or longer road trips on weekends.
The sunsets are amazing, and so is the nature around.
I went to Tertulia to stay a month working remotely, stayed two, and I’m already planning when I’ll be back… this should be enough to say how amazing is Tertulia… incredible organization, all that you need to have your personal space or a vibrant community, made really good friends and felt an amazing energy and care from Francesco and all the other colivers.
Not counting the sunsets…
I stayed for a month last year and had such a great time at this coliving. I've now stayed at another coliving so have something to compare it to, and this one is vastly superior in fostering a sense of community. Francesco and Giorgia were very welcoming without being overbearing and there's a weekly meeting where new arrivals introduce themselves and people discuss things to do during the week. Yes, a lot of it is 'low-key' activities and shared dinners and walks, but that is exactly what I was looking for. The location is beautiful and peaceful. It is probably a bit too remote for my liking, but that's just a question of personal preference.
The only regret I have about my time in Tertulia is that I could not stay longer than a few days. I really need to come back. Still, I try to figure out what makes this place so special? Sure, it is an amazing landscape with stunning sunsets over Mugello valley. The morning fog between the old chestnut trees. The hidden paths in the surrounding forests, adventurous to find the way home in these times of abundant water. But even more I guess it is about the people that give the place its soul. Francesco and Giorgia seem to have a rare gift: to make people feel welcome and connected, without pushing them to anything. Being yourself and sharing with others is possible in this place. Potentials unfold. There is some kind of magic at work here. After staying in Tertulia for some months, several beautiful individuals had decided to change the course of their lives and moved into the vicinity! What a magnetism. Life is slower. Healthier. More human in a way.
I need to come back.
Actually I considered not to post a review because I want to be sure that there will be a spot for me when I want to return next autumn! But this is a place that needs to be shared.
Francesco and Georgia have an amazing place and I am happy that they want to share it. They are building on their mission to create a community around Tertulia and it works.! I felt part of a community, I made new friends and it feels like a place where I can always come back. I hope to see you there!
