Chapter One: Escaping the Hustle

It’s no secret—U.S. professionals are rethinking the 9-to-5 grind. More people than ever are untethering from city life and exploring the work-from-anywhere lifestyle. After years of productivity overload and digital stress, there’s a collective craving for balance, beauty, and presence.

✨ Enter Dolce Vita Coliving, a breathtakingly restored medieval village nestled in the hills of Umbria. Less hours on the freeway, more hours under fig trees with a glass of Montefalco in hand. This is an experience not just meant to escape your routine—but to reinvent it.

Chapter Two: Work, Create, Breathe

Dolce Vita Coliving isn’t your typical coliving house—it’s an entire village turned into a creative haven. Imagine coworking from a 12th-century stone palazzo with fiber-optic internet. Sharing homemade gnocchi with locals in trattorias that don’t appear on Google Maps. Walking out your front door into olive groves and golden hills.

Whether you’re tackling a novel, launching your next product, or taking time to care for your mental health, here—slowing down feels... natural. 🌿

Chapter Three: What to Do While You're Here

Let’s talk goals. Whether you’re seeking clarity, creativity, or community, Umbria gives you space to reconnect with your why.

🌄 Daily Flow at Dolce Vita Coliving:

• Morning Walks: Start your day with a quiet stroll above the Nera River in Vallo di Nera or Piedipaterno, passing 14th-century towers and waking birds.

• Remote Work Sprints: Choose one of several communal coworking spots, or find a sunny corner under the vines.

• Slow Lunches: Cook with fellow colivers or grab a €10 lunch special at a trattoria. Ingredients? Story-rich and hyperlocal.

• Afternoon Exploration or Focus Time: Hike, journal, nap, or Zoom call. The vibe remains creative, not corporate.

• Evenings of Connection: Aperitivo hour turns into spontaneous dinners and starlit group hangs in the piazzette.

🧘‍♀️ Bonus: Many guests devote their stay to specific intentions—daily yoga, a writing goal, unplugging from social, or learning to cook Italian-style.

Chapter Four: Food, Wine & Soul-Filling Adventures

Delve into our curated Slow Food + Wine Itinerary, designed to nourish your belly and your spirit.

🧀 Culinary Highlights:

• Local Markets (Monteleone di Spoleto or Norcia): Pick up hand-rolled pasta, wild truffle spreads, and sheep's milk pecorino.

• Wine Tasting in Montefalco: Sip the deep, berry-rich Sagrantino di Montefalco—an Umbrian red with a DOCG soul.

• Farm-To-Table Meals: Share long-table dinners with local farmers or try tagliatelle al tartufo (truffle pasta) with Umbrian sausage.

• Olive Oil Tastings: Visit hill-fringed olive mills to sample the region’s gold—and better understand the meaning of fresh.

🚶‍♂️ Stop Suggestions:
