We loved our stay here! Perfect for our workation. Great atmosphere, amazing people, and excellent coffee — we recommend the espresso tonic ;-) The organized afterwork activities were also great. Feels like home.

Das franz&mathilde ist eine absolute Oase zum Ankommen & Wohlfühlen! Man spürt in jedem Detail mit wie viel Herzblut Sarah&Philipp einen stilvollen und gemütlichen Ort geschaffen haben - um gemeinsam zu leben, arbeiten und die Natur zu entdecken 🥾⛰️ - perfekt um abzuschalten. Ich kann allen anderen nur zustimmen, das franz&mathilde ist eine echte Herzensempfehlung das mit ganz viel Leidenschaft geführt wird und in dem jede(r) sofort herzlich willkommen geheißen wird. Aber Achtung: Wiederholungsgefahr✨

BEREICHERND. Dieses Wort wird noch lange nach meinem Coliving im franz&mathilde nachhallen. Wo soll ich anfangen? Geschmackvolle Einrichtung zum Wohlfühlen - die Zimmer, wie auch die „social area“. Eine inspirierende Gäste-Community. Gemeinsam essen, wandern, guten Gespräche. Alles kann - nichts muss. Mit Philipp und Sarah einmalig sympathische Gastgeber. Die beiden leben ihre Idee vom Community-Coliving. Und für Philipps Barista-Künste hab ich sogar das Kaffeetrinken wieder angefangen. Super Möglichkeiten zu arbeiten mit einem Ausblick, der jeden Knoten im Kopf auflöst. Und Hunde sind auch willkommen. Lieben wir. ALLES. 💕

VanDocking bei Franz & Mathilde ist ein Geschenk. Es gibt eine großartige Community, mit der man gemeinsam kochen und reden kann, aber auch jederzeit einen Rückzugsraum hat. Es ist ideal zum Arbeiten und Runterkommen, mit einer besonderen Atmosphäre, die sofort trägt. Top Wander- und Klettermöglichkeiten gibt es direkt vor der Tür. Die Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich und leben den Wunsch, Menschen zusammenzubringen. Genau das macht diesen Ort so besonders.

Looking for a perfect workation/co-living experience? This is your place! Located at the mountains franz&mathilde give the great opportunity of living at the mountains but also getting to know great, kind and loving people. As our first experience in a coliving we couldn’t have asked for more. Great working stations, fast internet, great view, and just the nicest place for your “Feierabend”. We will come back!

I had the extraordinary pleasure of staying at Franz&Mathilde for just over ten weeks. It was my first remote working/co-living experience and I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The hosts (Philipp and Sarah) are wonderful people and they have created a comfortable, stylish, and relaxing space that immediately felt like home. There is a perfect balance of suggested activities and the opportunity to take things at your own pace, and my fellow guests were all very friendly like-minded individuals, all of which created a very harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. The en-suite room I stayed in was fantastic - I've never slept better - and the daily breakfast (included in the price) was healthy and hearty with a speciality coffee thrown in too (everything was either home-made or sourced locally and it was all delicious). The perfect start to the day. The working facilities were excellent, with a co-working space that included large monitors and comfy chairs, and the view over the valley was unmatched, for that extra little bit of inspiration. I have wonderful memories of my stay and I'll definitely be back - I can't wait to see everyone again!

This is truly a special place! Incredible setting, lovely hosts and beautiful rooms. The location is also great with a lovely village on the doorstep, hikes in the area and the Dolomites less than an hour away. The breakfast is also totally delicious!! Would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a base to explore the Dolomites region.

Warning: Once you stay at Franz&Mathilde you may experience extreme bouts of sadness and withdrawal symptoms upon leaving. Philipp and Sarah have created such a warm, welcome, and friendly atmosphere at (F&M) and the community spirit was just unbelievable. Between planned weekly events like volleyball Monday's and shared dinner Sunday's, and all the impromptu trips and events you'll inevitably make with the other guests, you'll never be bored. But we come here to work, right?... Well, good news there too - the wifi speeds are extremely fast and reliable. And the dedicated working area includes plenty of desks and external monitors available... Oh, and an unbeatable view and some specialty coffee thanks to the Coffee-Connoisseur Philipp! Each room also has a desk with a proper work chair if you need some solo-work time, and the wifi works wonderfully all the way to the upper reaches of the house. While it does take some patience with the public bus schedule to arrive if you don't have a car, once you arrive you almost immediately feel right at home. (And there most likely will be enough guests with cars that once you arrive, you won't even need one yourself.) For shopping, there's a grocery store in Tesimo that's just a short 8 minute walk away that has most essentials (including lots of fresh veggies). For more serious shopping, you'll likely need to go to Lana which has all the big supermarkets. To get there you can hitch a ride with a fellow guest or take one of the many local busses. The free breakfast with tons of vegan options is a wonderful way to bring everyone together for breakfast (not forced) before the work day begins, and from there, the day is yours to decide. Do you go hiking, organize a board game night, take a day trip to Lana/Merano/Bolzano, do some patio yoga, relax in the hammock, or work on your next season of "The Coliving" mockumentary? All in all, I can't recommend Franz&Mathilde more. Can't wait for my next visit!

Beautifully designed co-live with an amazing community. The hosts Phillip and Sofia are so friendly and helpful, you can tell the community here resonates with that. It truly felt like we were part of the family since day one, daily group activities and exploring the beautiful mountains that we can see from our work stations. My only regret is that I didnt stay longer!

Franz&Mathilde is an amazing coliving. The location is stunning (you can work in the sun on the terrace overlooking the mountains and apple orchards) and Philipp and Sarah are so welcoming. Having breakfast and coffee included every morning is an amazing perk and the house is beautifully decorated and cosy. I had a really lovely time!

Wir hatten einen unglaublich schönen Aufenthalt im franz&mathilde. Sarah und Philipp sind wunderbare Gastgeber, das Haus liegt sehr schön mit großartigem Ausblick auf das Tal und der Kaffee (und natürlich das gesamte sehr gute Frühstück) schmeckt gleich doppelt so gut, wen man dabei noch in einem der bequemen Liegestühle im wunderschönen Garten Platz nimmt! Das Zimmer mit Bad war hervorragend, sehr sauber und ruhig mit wunderbarem Balkon - es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Atmosphäre zusammen mit den anderen Co-Workern/ Co-Livern war super angenehm und wir hatten eine schöne, sehr erholsame und fast schon magische (trotz viel Arbeit) Zeit - natürlich kommen wir wieder! Absolute Empfehlung!

I had the pleasure of staying the second time at Franz & Mathilde this June. It has been again a great experience. Starting with the heart-warming welcome and care by the hosts Sarah & Philipp The nature is great for outdoor lovers, especially for hikers and cyclists, if you like steep climbs. The international guests were interesting people and good fun.

Wir waren für etwas mehr als eine Woche hier und haben, trotz Arbeit, die Zeit sehr genossen. Durch das vielfältige und überragende Frühstücksbuffet lässt sich ideal in den Tag starten. Es gibt die Möglichkeiten sich an Gruppenaktivitäten zu beteiligen oder eigene Aktivitäten zu gestalten. Unser Zimmer hatte Ausblick auf die Apfelplantagen und war sauber und ruhig.

Absolute Empfehlung! Super schöne Location, ideal um konzentriert zu arbeiten und dabei Urlaubsgefühl zu genießen. Gemütliches, schönes Zimmer und Croissant-Duft am Morgen. Super Lage: Meran & Bozen & epische Wanderungen sind ganz nah. Kenne Coworking Spaces gut, aber das war meine erste Coliving Erfahrung - lieb es sehr, vor allem weil Philipp & Sarah so eine schöne Gesamterfahrung daraus gemacht haben. Hat sich direkt nach einem zweiten Zuhause angefühlt und es fiel sehr schwer, wieder abzureisen :)

What a wonderful co-living space with a warm sense of community. I spent about a month in this lovely retreat of a place. Philipp and Sarah run and own the establishment but feels far from it -- they are very self-aware, kind, and helpful individuals. As a solo traveler, I felt so at ease. They really create an ambiance that makes you feel like you're right at home -- from the delicious and homemade breakfast (with locally sourced fruit and fresh spreads), to the nightly gatherings with the other housemates. The views from the room are just breathtaking and was truly blessed to be living with other open-minded and like-minded people from all over the world. I couldn't have asked for a better experience to be close to so many hiking spots (that I often did with other housemates) and took a few days to explore the Dolomites just a few hours away. I look forward to coming back again soon when I need another retreat from urban life.

It was my first co-living place and I was blown away! The views are beautiful - I sat in the balcony having breakfast every day. This is one the very few co-living spaces that provides breakfast. And it sets you up for the day. It's one less thing to worry about. Phillip the co-owner sets up an amazing breakfast setup. It includes a lot of options that are great for vegetarians as well. You can feel the warmth in the home - every corner is mindfully thought out and decorated with love. My room smelled like the pine trees! PROS: - Very Friendly Hosts - A small cozy group of people - Beautiful View - Extensive Breakfast Included with amazing coffee - Separate Co-working space for focusing - Beautiful Rooms with bathrooms - Nearby Towns are accessible by public buses - Lots of nice Hikes nearby - Shared Kitchen with some basic groceries available for a very small cost - Everything was very organized CONS: - It may take a little long to get here by public transport I really felt as this was a Home away from Home and I will go back. Thank you Phillip and Sarah for your hospitality and care :)

Ein Ort mit Wohlfühlgarantie! Nach vier Wochen in diesem wunderschönen, familiären und herzlich geführtem Coliving ist der Abschied heute echt nicht leicht gefallen. Philipp und Sarah haben einen wirklich besonderen Ort geschaffen, an dem sich Leben, Urlaub und Arbeiten so wunderbar und einfach kombinieren lassen, dass man sich von Tag eins an wie zuhause fühlt - aber ohne das Gefühl von Abenteuer zu missen :) Das Haus ist im gemütlichen Boho Stil eingerichtet, man kann sich entweder in einem der hübschen Zimmern einquartieren oder im eigenen Van schlafen (großes Plus!). Egal wo man schläft, das fabelhafte vegetarische Frühstück mit Barista Kaffee und veganen Alternativen (selbstgemachte Aufstriche 😍) waren das tägliche Highlight am Morgen. Auch die Arbeitsatmosphäre war super! Stabiles, schnelles WLAN, Bildschirmarbeitsplätze und Möglichkeiten sich für Telefonate / Meetings zurückzuziehen. Neben der Arbeit kommt die Freizeit keinesfalls zu kurz: mehrmals wöchentlich organisiert Philipp mit viel Herzblut kleinere und größere Ausflüge und Aktivitäten, wie Aperitivos, Filmabende, Ausflüge zu besonderen kulinarischen und landschaftlichen Highlights und mehr :) Die vielen tollen, interessanten und inspirierenden Bekanntschaften mit den anderen Colivern aus aller Welt haben meinen Aufenthalt definitiv wunderbar abgerundet - und es werden jetzt schon Pläne geschmiedet, sich wiederzusehen :) ❤️ Dank & bis ganz bald!

An exceptional co-living space, is perfect for remote workers seeking a peaceful, inspiring environment in the mountains. The design is beautiful, the location offers breathtaking views, and the breakfast and coffee are fantastic—homemade with local ingredients. Cozy working space with the plus of connecting with like-minded people. A perfect blend of comfort, style, and nature! Highly recommended!

Franz+Mathila is a wonderful coliving. As a full time nomad I’ve stayed at many colivings and this is one of my favorites. Here are some of the factors that make it great: beautiful space renovated with design and aesthetic in mind, free breakfast and lovely coffee bar great for connecting with others in the house in the morning, dedicated quiet workspace with screens and good chairs (enclosed so it’s separate from socializing), small size house/group which is better for connecting, a few organized events per week in the local area organized by the owner so you get to live like a local, there are walks in nature directly from the house if you don’t have a car, there is a tiny village with supermarket walkable, and a bigger village by bus, there are beautiful views from the garden and veranda of the house so it feels like being in nature, the owner Phillipe is always available and engaged with organizing which helps facilitate the house, the wider area around the house has endless hikes, villages, events etc. There are really nice Huts around the area for walking + good food. And most important, there is a very cute baby who attends most breakfasts and provides endless entertainment :) I had a car which was necessary for bigger hikes and exploring the region but many people in the house did not and got along fine. Finally, if you do nothing else while at the house please try Philippe’s coffee innovation: the Oleato. (You’re welcome in advance for that tip!) Thank you Sarah and Phillipe for a great time! See you again!

Auf meiner Alpenüberquerung mit dem Fahrrad führte mich der Weg zufällig nach Tisens, einem wunderschönen kleinen Ort. Leider waren alle Unterkünfte ausgebucht, und ich war kurz davor, aufzugeben, als ich auf die Unterkunft von Philipp und Sarah stieß. Spontan klopfte ich an ihre Tür und fragte nach einem Schlafplatz für die Nacht. Obwohl sie ebenfalls ausgebucht waren, bot mir Philipp großzügig an, mein Zelt in ihrem Garten aufzuschlagen. Was folgte, war ein unvergesslicher Abend mit sehr interessanten neuen Menschen. Ich wurde herzlich in ihre Runde aufgenommen, und wir genossen zusammen ein köstliches Barbecue auf der Terrasse mit einem atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergang. Der nächste Morgen begann perfekt mit dem besten Espresso Südtirols, zubereitet von Philipp, einem leidenschaftlichen Hobby-Barista. Vielen Dank an Philipp und Sarah für ihre unglaubliche Gastfreundschaft! Ich freue mich schon auf das nächste Mal – dann hoffentlich nicht nur als Überraschungsgast.

Es fällt fast schwer diesen perfekten Ort zu beschreiben, weil es eher ein Gefühl ist. Philipp und Sarah haben hier einen traumhaften Ort zum entspannen, arbeiten, Gedanken schweifen lassen und connecten mit zauberhaften Menschen geschaffen. Neben einem Haus mit absoluter Liebe zum Detail, werden so viele Angebote geschaffen, sich das Leben vor Ort zu versüßen, ob gemeinsamer Weingarten, Bier-Tasting, Abendessen auf der Laugenalm, Yoga und vieles mehr. Jeder der nach einem Co Living sucht ist hier nicht nur gut bedient sondern muss sich bewusst machen, dass so schnell kein anderes co living an diesen standard ran kommt. Danke für die Zeit bei euch!!!

Perfect workation place! It's spectacularly located with a fantastic view on the mountains. The terrace!! The rooms and common areas are very welcoming and cozy - it's apparent the owners are interior designers ;-) Philipp, the owner, puts a lot of effort into making everyone feel at home and to create a sense of community among the guests. The whole thing has a very personal touch. Due to health issues, I couldn't do big tours during my stay, so I greatly enjoyed the possibilities of smaller excursions you can do in the vicinity. I'd definitely recommend Franz&Mathilde for a workation retreat or just plain holidays with a sense of community!

Philipp is an amazing host that puts in the effort to organize friendly social activities with his guests. I was fortnuate enough to meet other people to go on hikes and share the experience with. The place is also not so crowded so it's easy to concentrate during work hours. The location is surprisingly rich in activites to do. There are multiple bus also if you wish to get out of the village. The included breakfast is very generous with lots of healthy options. Definitely worth the price.

I stayed at Franz&Mathilde for two months this summer and it was INCREDIBLE! As a digital nomad, it provides the best place to work for awhile. There’s a dedicated coworking room with big monitors (where I worked 95% of the time), but you could also work in the cafe area, on the balcony, in the garden, or in your room. There are also two private offices for when you need to take calls or meetings. It’s located in a tiny village in a gorgeous area, surrounded by mountains, apple orchards, and vineyards. There are short hikes you can do from the coliving and some longer ones you can access by bus. To access all the hikes, especially in the Dolomites, you’d need a car, or go with someone who has a car (which almost always works out). The hosts, Sarah and Philipp, are so incredibly sweet. Philipp makes a delicious breakfast every morning which is included in the price (fresh bread and croissants, homemade spreads, cheeses, yogurt, and DELICIOUS espresso based drinks). When you’re lucky, Bobby the cat will come around and grace you with her presence. Throughout the week, there are things going on, from barbecues to pizza nights to organized hikes. It’s so easy to get to know everyone and make friends fast. Everyone who comes here always leaves saying they can’t wait to come back. In the two months I was there, I met many people who were return guests. If you get a chance to come here, don’t think twice, just do it (and book for longer than you think!)

Am Anfang hatte ich mich gefragt, wie es wird mit anderen zusammenzuleben, die ich zunächst gar nicht kenne. Nach zwei Aufenthalten bei franz&mathilde kann ich sagen, dass es wundervoll werden kann! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt, die internationale Gruppe war herzlich und es war eine tolle Atmosphäre. Die wunderschöne Einrichtung des Hauses, der fantastische Kaffee von Philipp und die Aussicht (!!) tragen zusätzlich zum Wohlfühlen bei. Trotz Arbeit fühlt es sich an wie Urlaub und man kann sich jeden Tag für neue Erlebnisse in der Region entscheiden. Die Therme in Meran, der Etsch-Radweg oder spannende Wanderungen, es gibt viel zu entdecken. Wenn man mal eine Pause von den Erlebnissen braucht, gibt es in der Nähe wundervolle Day Spas oder man legt sich ganz unkompliziert mit einem Buch in die Hängematte. Ich kann nur empfehlen, sich die Vorteile von mehr Remote Work bewusst zu machen und diese tolle Möglichkeit in Tisens zu nutzen, das beste draus zu machen!

I had an amazing time in October 2022 at Franz & Mathilde. Philipp & Sara are great hosts. Mainly Philipp is around. He is very sympathetic and creates the space (and spontaneous events) with a very nice, open, honest and relaxed energy. Not even talking about the energy he creates with his amazing coffee and breakfast. The rooms are very cozy and there is plenty of work space in different areas, including good internet and work facilities all around. This place also attracts very nice diverse people that are easy to connect with. Both for working and for outside activities, there's always plenty of inspiration in this place. I already recommend this place to all of my friends and family and can only underline that you would have an amazing time here.

Arriving at Franz and Mathilde feels like coming home to a place where your peers have been awaiting you. It sounds cliché, but this is what I truly believe: You will get to meet the kindest and most engaging hosts that will always help you out and make sure to encourage evening gatherings around the bonfire. Furthermore, we've built wonderful connections to people that have an interesting take on life. We had the opportunity to go on midday hikes (thanks for the recommendations!), went for Via Ferratas for the first time, jumped into a beautiful lake and had a great time hanging out, eating tons of delicious pizza from Tisens. Hard facts: - good place to work, even with desks with adjustable height - ultra comfy beds with a flabbergasting view from the balcony - yummy breakfast with great coffee variations (Philipp knows his stuff!) - a little supermarket is not too far to walk to - you're definitely able to get here with public transport and get around by bus to your hikes. Just ask Sarah and Philipp about their recommendations :-) If I had to subsumize my experience here, I'd say it was an astonishing place that I'm happy to return to as soon as possible.

I stayed at Franz&Mathilde for a week in August and had the loveliest time. Even so that I already booked my second stay while I was there. Philipp and Sarah put a lot of their energy into making us feel at home. From the delicious daily breakfast (what a luxury :)) to the pizza feasts and hiking trips we share together, building the community is at the core of everything Philipp and Sarah do. Plus, no community managers involved: Philipp and Sarah do everything by themselves and join the group often, for morning chats, nature trips or just hanging out and chatting. Makes it feel relaxed and personal. The décor of the coliving is absolutely gorgeous: minimalism meets jungle vibes meets hygge. From how the place is furnished and decorated, you can tell that Philipp and Sarah have a background in (and eye for) creativity. The people staying at Franz&Mathilde are open-minded, very kind, and super fun to be around. With nature so closeby (that backdrop!) and close to the hearts of everyone at the coliving, it’s not hard to find a connection. If coliving in nature with fun and active people speaks to you, I would recommend to book a stay and find out for yourself :)

Hard to describe the amazing month that I just spend here, Sarah (with an H) & Philipp really make you feel home on day 1. The place is so nicely decorated, the view is incredible, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. There is only 6 rooms so you get to know each people who lives with you and share some nice moment. They are also organizing some activities, like BBQ, night out, swim at the lake, pizza party, etc...so you don't get bored at any time. All the guests who booked 1 week after 2 days already regrets to have not booked longer, don't make that mistake !

Beautiful and cozy coliving retreat - a home away from home with stunning views. The owners Sarah and Philipp are amazing hosts and have created a great space to work, live and connect for digital nomads and people who want a change of scenery. Recommend 100% Edit: I have now been back for the third time and love how each season offers so many different activities - skiing resorts are close by as well as very refreshing mountain lakes for those hot summer months. Autumn might still be my favourite time to visit with changing colours and crisp mountain air for great panoramic hikes.

franz&mathilde is one of my favorite places. Apart from being exactly what I needed with the insanely beautiful views, being far from the noise, singing birds calmly waking me up in the morning, and really nice walks around, it added on top some pretty spectacular attractions that I did not expect. There are beautiful waterfalls a couple minutes by car away. There are terms with sauna (check out a hey sauna) in Meran close by. There are small lakes around just right for a weekend trip (a walk around Kalterer See is just fantastic). There is a hill just next to the house that is steep enough that you can go up, see the sunrise, then come back and see the second sunrise from your room's window. There is even a small lake with floating island (it actually moves from one side of the lake to another from one day to another even as it's big enough to have a couple of trees). The place itself is beautifully designed (both hosts Philipp and Sara are interior designers), has a co-working space, a nice living room and the hosts serve so good and diverse breakfast (vegan/vegetarian and other options) with many home made ingredients (like baba ganush, vegan egg spread, or gluten free pankakes) that I had a momentary decision paralysis every morning. Sara and Philip are awesome hosts. I totally felt like home. We did a couple hikes together, a road trip, they invited me for lunch a bunch of times, and we plaid board/card games. On top of that there's Bobby Mitz. Bobby is the owner of the house (or she thinks so). She's fluffy, has beautiful eyes, and is very playful. She's also a cat and she loves lizards.

Intimate coliving retreat, located in a beautiful setting and run by a lovely and passionate couple.

Can't recommend this place enough. The owners are super friendly and welcoming, the facilities are great and the view is spectacular.
