Coliving & Seasonal Stays in Puglia, Italy

Rooted in the permaculture ethics of People Care, Earth Care, and Future Care, we exist as a living alternative to fast tourism and extractive digital nomadism.

La Vita Sukha brings people together to live, work, and grow in deeper relationship with each other, the land, and the local community. Through slow, intentional living, shared responsibility, and genuine integration with village life, we offer a grounded path toward regenerating cultures, communities, and environments from the inside out.

From 14th May – 14th June, and from 14th September until 14th October, we open our doors for coliving and seasonal stays in the beautiful, gentle hills of Puglia, southern Italy.

Set in the fairytale-like historic mountain village of Roseto Valfortore, our spacious villa provides a calm, grounded base for remote workers, digital nomads, creatives, and slow travellers – whether you’re here to work, rest, explore, or reconnect.

Surrounded by nature and held by the slower rhythms of village life, it’s a place where connection can grow naturally, without pressure or expectation.

In the long term, we’d love to see an intentional community form here, based on permaculture principles and regenerative farming. Our coliving seasons are also a way of bringing those people to us naturally.

Residents stay for 2 weeks up to 1 month, living alongside others in a relaxed, respectful environment. Some people enjoy shared meals and conversation; others prefer quiet independence. Both are welcome here.

This is a lived-in home and our focus is on creating a peaceful, beautiful home base where people can live, work, rest, and connect in a natural way.

• Remote workers and digital nomads
• Freelancers, creatives and writers
• Slow travellers or expats
• Retirees, couples and families
• Mindful, nature-loving people seeking a more meaningful stay in Italy
• People curious about intentional community in the long term – without rushing the process
• People who value respectful shared living and genuine human connection

If you’re able to live independently, communicate clearly and enjoy sharing space with care and consideration, there’s a good chance this will be a good fit.

Hello! I’m Liz. I’m half-local, half-nomad: born to Italian parents, and raised between England and Italy. This town is the birthplace of my parents, and they built this villa over 20 years. Since their passing, I’ve lovingly turned it into La Vita Sukha: a place for people seeking calm, beauty, and a slower pace of life.

It is also my home, which gives it a personal, grounded, and intentionally held atmosphere…creating something a little different: a space with soul and warmth.

I’m a yoga teacher, Reiki Master and massage therapist, a permaculture designer, and also an award-winning music producer and DJ. One could say I’m equal parts calm, creative and practical.

Guided by simplicity, respect for nature, and thoughtful use of space, these values have shaped everyday life at La Vita Sukha and the way I welcome people into the villa, land, and rhythm of the village.

Stay with us from 14th May – 14th June, or from 14th September – 14th October
