Property
This coliving for changemakers and knowmads is the first work-life balanced coliving just 45Km from Barcelona that attracts professionals looking for inspiration, meaningful change and work-life balance.
The shared areas include a fully equipped kitchen, a comfy living space, a modern bathroom, a great coworking space as well as a multipurpose room where they give workshops, courses or events. They also have an orchard with delicious fruits!
Their concept? A hybrid of artistic residences, business incubators, creative labs, and a hub for entrepreneurs looking for escape into nature and a safe and happy place to work from. This is a house in nature to reframe your thinking: disconnect to reconnect.
Located in the Parc Natural del Montseny (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve), this Stay has been founded on the belief that working in a sustainable, rural and collaborative environment away from the pressures of everyday life in the city can restore and empower people personally and professionally.
More than just a space for coworking and coliving, they also propose mentoring on research, innovation, creation, production and promotion of creative proposals that have a social impact, in the sector of cultural and creative industries (ICC). Every week there are many social activities and adventures. The daily group lunch is a fantastic opportunity to exchange and you can even create your own workshops, events or activities!
They believe:
- The human experience is better when shared
- Connection to nature connects us to our deeper selves
- Sometimes we need to switch off to turn on
- Inspiration comes in unexpected places
- We are our most creative and productive when our lives are in balance and we are connected

Flora and fauna
The accommodation is located in the Montseny Valley (UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) 45 km from Barcelona and Girona.
Montseny is a northern massif isolated from the Catalan pre-coastal cordillera. It includes an extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna as it is located in the transition zone between the Mediterranean and Atlantic regions, with very well conserved Cork Oak, Holm Oak, Beech, Chestnut, Pine and even Fir forests, giving way to vast grasslands in the highlands.
The numerous water courses are bordered by riparian forests of Aspen, Willow, Hazelnut and Ash trees. Among the fauna, together with other Mediterranean species, there are species that are characteristic of Central-European ecosystems, such as the Edible Door-mouse, the European Green Lizard or the Aesculapian Snake, and high mountain species such as the Pyrenean Brook Salamander and the European Common Frog. The entomological fauna is also very varied with a rich diversity of butterfly species.
Social ecosystem
The accommodation functions as a hub for entrepreneurs, other times as a creative laboratory, sometimes as an artist residence or as a business incubator. Hosts and their guests often organise workshops, courses and events.
If you're looking for digital nomads hubs, you will definitely find them in Barcelona, 60 km from the accommodation. It's a very popular destination for digital nomads being a home for over 300 coworking spaces and frequent meetups.
Barcelona and Girona are accessible in a 40 minute ride by the highway or 50 minutes by train.
Barcelona will welcome you with its history which is one of the oldest in Europe, buzzing nightlife, charming beaches and a wide variety of artistic treasures, the Romanesque churches and the greatest names in modern art and architecture such as Dali, Gaudi, Miro or Picasso to name a few.
In this stay, nature and the rolling green mountains are literally at the doorstep. Only a short walk from the local town, the guests and owners are often hosting or joining in wider community events and parties. There are plenty of nice coffee shops and bars nearby with many dietary options, including vegan, for you to enjoy alone or with your new friends.
You will find a dynamic, warm and welcoming community of professionals, explorers and life lovers. The owners of this accommodation have hosted a great variety of people: environmental workers, explorers, performance artists, graphic designers, illustrators, musicians, teachers, journalists, holistic therapists and more.
In this stay, all the services you need are within 5km range including Large supermarkets. The closest town, Santa Maria de Palautordera, is know for hosting the biggest number of artists in the region, giving it an incredible bohemian and welcoming vibe. Not your typical sleepy village.
In every direction there is incredible nature to explore including lakes, castles, mountain treks and enchanting forests. The host will be happy to give you all the recommendations needed for a great nature adventure.
