Stay With Us

La Vita Sukha is a lived-in, cared-for space where people come for different reasons…

To rest, to work remotely, or simply to enjoy time in nature and community – without pressure or pretence.

Community at La Vita Sukha happens naturally, not by design. Some guests come seeking connection; others come for privacy, focus, or rest.

This is also a way for us to meet and connect with people who might wish to belong to a permanent community here in the future.

We welcome people looking for a longer-term coliving experience, and who value community, sustainability, and mutual contribution.

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” – Socrates

The Space

About The founder

Founded and owned by Liz Cirelli, La Vita Sukha is located in the charming village of Roseto Valfortore, in the region of Puglia in southern Italy. By having a permanent location, originally built by her parents, she has a unique opportunity to create a true sanctuary.

A qualified permaculture designer, Liz believes that many, if not all, of the solutions to the environmental and societal challenges we are currently facing can be found within permaculture design and living mindfully within a collaborative community: working practically with nature, and forming meaningful connections. Her vision is to transform the villa into a vibrant community where permanent residents and guests coexist harmoniously. Together, as a collective of nature-loving souls, we’ll cultivate a regenerative farm, guided by permaculture principles and mindful living. Future plans include eco-structures on reforested land, offering sustainable accommodation for visitors.

Join her in creating a sanctuary that nurtures both individuals and the earth, where every step is an inspiration toward a more connected and sustainable future.
