I’ve come here for the coliving for the second time, the first time being last year for a couple of weeks. This time I did a whole one month, in my quest to do slower travel in my digital nomad era. It’s a lovely well-equipped cosy villa in a tranquil village, both full of lovely welcoming people. I stayed in The Purple Room, which is very spacious, enough to do some exercise in there and work in different parts of the room, as well as a cozy armchair and balcony overlooking the lovely back garden. I would often switch between working in my room and working in the coworking area of the living room, both with plenty of light. The nature of being in a small village and small coliving community meant that I was less likely to get so distracted like I would in a city. There is some organisation of activities and processes in La Vita Sukha, but it’s also pretty flowy and adaptable, so there’s less chance of overwhelm. I had a lot of time and space to work on my personal writing and drawing projects. We also did plenty of group activities together, such as several group meals in and out of the house, dance parties, art workshops, art exhibitions, pasta making, hiking, sharing circles, bonfire and gardening (feed the resident chickens and pick your own fruit!). I’m not a cat person, but I grew fond of the resident cat, Chopin — she is quite cute and I even painted her! The host Liz is very welcoming and hands on, as she’s in the house every day, so she’s not some remote host. You can easily ask her for help in the house as much as you can have a good time socialising with her and the other coliving mates. She’s also receptive to ideas and feedback — she liked my suggestion of having an activity board and bought one for me to set up. She’s a very open-minded, friendly and free-spirited person that attracts a lot of the same sort of people (like me!) to stay at her villa coliving. So if that’s your vibe, come stay at La Vita Sukha! 😃👍
