Did you know that 1/3 of people globally experience loneliness? Some countries even report rates as high as 50%.
Not only are people statistically unhappy, but demand on our planet’s resources is also unsustainable. Humanity currently consumes resources 50% faster than nature can regenerate them. These are major societal issues that we strive to fix.
La Vita Sukha is so much more than just a place to stay. It’s a community. A sanctuary. A space designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit, and support the betterment of the planet through sustainable living.
Explore our vision and mission to redefine the way we live and work. Read on to discover how we plan to do that and how you can support our mission.
The Heart of La Vita Sukha
Our Mission
At La Vita Sukha, we’re passionate about inspiring regenerative living. By integrating sustainable practices and permaculture principles, our mission is to leave the world in a better state than we found it.
Our goals are fostering connection, reducing loneliness, and supporting a harmonious relationship with nature, offering an alternative lifestyle to conventional norms. We believe that together, we can create a lasting state of happiness for people and the planet.
Our Solution
We believe the answer lies in fostering community and sustainable living. La Vita Sukha is a purposefully designed coliving, coworking, and retreat space located in Puglia, Italy. Our name, meaning “the life of a lasting state of happiness,” reflects our mission to transform lives through the power of community and sustainable living.
Community-Based Sustainable Living
There are 4 main ways you can join us: coliving and coworking, retreats and workshops, venue hire, and permaculture design and regenerative farming.
Coliving & Coworking
Would you like to live, work and play in a peaceful, relaxed environment with like-hearted people? Imagine easing into your day with mindfulness practices, followed by a day of focused work, or helping out with fun projects on the land and then relaxing with the community in the evening.
If you cherish nature and enjoy spending meaningful time in one place to foster genuine connections, you would be a perfect fit for our coliving community.
Retreats & Workshops
Are you yearning for a revitalising escape to replenish your spirit and embrace self-care? Tucked away in a fairytale-like Italian village, surrounded by nature and rich historical charm, awaits a sanctuary designed to unlock your peace and amplify your self-discovery.
With seasoned facilitators ready to lead you through transformative experiences, take your pick from our retreats on offer.

The Founder’s Story: Meet Liz Cirelli
Liz Cirelli, the owner and founder, created La Vita Sukha in the hometown of her parents, on a property they built from the ground up.
Her journey in spiritual progression and personal development includes becoming a qualified yoga teacher, a Reiki Master, and a skilled masseuse specialising in energy and emotional release through deep-tissue massage therapy. She’s also an award-winning music producer, vocalist, and DJ with a passion for teaching and mentorship.
Liz’s lifelong connection to nature deepened in 2021 when she became qualified in permaculture design, equipping her to implement sustainable ways of living in ways that work in harmony with nature.
Liz believes that many, if not all, of the solutions to the environmental and societal challenges we’re currently facing can be found within permaculture design and living mindfully within a collaborative community: working practically with nature, and forming meaningful connections.
Expanding Our Vision: Our Long-Term Plans
Our long-term vision is to form a permanent, harmonious community within the main villa. Together, as a collective of nature-loving souls, we aim to co-create a permaculture farm based on regenerative agriculture. This vision underscores our commitment to more connected and sustainable living.
We plan to develop eco-friendly structures within parts of our land designated for reforestation. These sustainable accommodations will enable us to continue operating as a venue for hire, catering to visitors seeking retreats, education on permaculture practices, or a purposeful remote working experience.
Our ultimate ambition is to establish a global network of La Vita Sukha hubs. The site in Roseto will be a prototype which can be duplicated around the world, thereby facilitating the global expansion of the business.
Once our global network has been established, we aim to sponsor individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, immersing them in community-based sustainable living and providing them with grants to carry this invaluable learning into their own lives and communities.
Is La Vita Sukha Right For You?
We’re seeking mindful, nature-loving individuals to join us in our mission to create a nurturing sanctuary for both people and the Earth.
If you’re passionate about personal growth, sustainable living, and building deep and meaningful relationships, La Vita Sukha could be the community for you.
