Coliving italy, the phenomenon is growing

It was back in 2012 when we launched our rural coliving project in Matera (10 years ago).

Born with the aim of generating a new social impact in Southern Italy, through the promotion of inspirational meetings and exchanges of visions between international guests and the local community, coliving soon became one of the most important projects of our association, generating worldwide friendships and connections as well as continuous evolution for our members.

In these 10 years of activity, we have had the pleasure of hosting in Matera people from all over the world: social innovators, curious travellers, and in recent years especially digital nomads or in general people who work remotely have the possibility to travel and work from the place they prefer.

Focusing in particular on these last guests, the most fascinating thing is that often, what attracts them to Matera is not the city itself, but the possibility to join a place like Casa Netural, place that allows them to comfortably work on their projects and at the same time to share social moments and experiences together with the community and the other professionals who are living in our house.
Nowadays, indeed, more and more so-called digital nomads are combining the possibility of working remotely with their notebooks with a nomadic lifestyle, traveling and merging into different communities as true temporary residents of the place.

And there are more and more coliving spaces as well. (more…)

Casa Netural: coliving LGBTQ friendly

If you search on the internet the definition of coliving it is not easy to find a clear and simple answer .. but for us one thing is certain: the most important aspect of a coliving is the community and the capability of the host to create connections between travelers and local people. 

Coliving is about hospitality and acceptance.

Since 2012 we have been hosting people from all over the world and we had the privilege of hosting many digital nomads, designers, curious travelers, couples and families. Each meeting was unique and started new friendships and important opportunities for cultural exchange for us and the citizens of Matera. 

In 2018, for example, we hosted Brent Hartiger and Michael Jensen, gay couple, writers and LGBTQ avtivists from America;

Brent and Michael sold their home and decided to travel the world as digital nomads, getting inspired by the places they visit for their work

They lived with us in our home in Italy and with our community throughout the summer, and in their words summed up everything that means coliving for us.

“Casa Netural really is truly unique compared to other co-living facilities. For one thing, Matera itself is spectacular, very very much worth visiting. So many wonderful memories of the Sassi, which is the most fantastic place we’d never heard of before arriving somewhere. (more…)
