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!
