It was my first co-living place and I was blown away! The views are beautiful - I sat in the balcony having breakfast every day. This is one the very few co-living spaces that provides breakfast. And it sets you up for the day. It's one less thing to worry about. Phillip the co-owner sets up an amazing breakfast setup. It includes a lot of options that are great for vegetarians as well. You can feel the warmth in the home - every corner is mindfully thought out and decorated with love. My room smelled like the pine trees!
PROS:
- Very Friendly Hosts
- A small cozy group of people
- Beautiful View
- Extensive Breakfast Included with amazing coffee
- Separate Co-working space for focusing
- Beautiful Rooms with bathrooms
- Nearby Towns are accessible by public buses
- Lots of nice Hikes nearby
- Shared Kitchen with some basic groceries available for a very small cost
- Everything was very organized
CONS:
- It may take a little long to get here by public transport

I really felt as this was a Home away from Home and I will go back. Thank you Phillip and Sarah for your hospitality and care 🙂

What a wonderful co-living space with a warm sense of community. I spent about a month in this lovely retreat of a place. Philipp and Sarah run and own the establishment but feels far from it -- they are very self-aware, kind, and helpful individuals. As a solo traveler, I felt so at ease. They really create an ambiance that makes you feel like you're right at home -- from the delicious and homemade breakfast (with locally sourced fruit and fresh spreads), to the nightly gatherings with the other housemates. The views from the room are just breathtaking and was truly blessed to be living with other open-minded and like-minded people from all over the world.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience to be close to so many hiking spots (that I often did with other housemates) and took a few days to explore the Dolomites just a few hours away. I look forward to coming back again soon when I need another retreat from urban life.

An exceptional co-living space, is perfect for remote workers seeking a peaceful, inspiring environment in the mountains. The design is beautiful, the location offers breathtaking views, and the breakfast and coffee are fantastic—homemade with local ingredients. Cozy working space with the plus of connecting with like-minded people. A perfect blend of comfort, style, and nature! Highly recommended!

Perfect workation place! It's spectacularly located with a fantastic view on the mountains. The terrace!! The rooms and common areas are very welcoming and cozy - it's apparent the owners are interior designers 😉 Philipp, the owner, puts a lot of effort into making everyone feel at home and to create a sense of community among the guests. The whole thing has a very personal touch.
Due to health issues, I couldn't do big tours during my stay, so I greatly enjoyed the possibilities of smaller excursions you can do in the vicinity.
I'd definitely recommend Franz&Mathilde for a workation retreat or just plain holidays with a sense of community!

Franz+Mathila is a wonderful coliving. As a full time nomad I’ve stayed at many colivings and this is one of my favorites. Here are some of the factors that make it great: beautiful space renovated with design and aesthetic in mind, free breakfast and lovely coffee bar great for connecting with others in the house in the morning, dedicated quiet workspace with screens and good chairs (enclosed so it’s separate from socializing), small size house/group which is better for connecting, a few organized events per week in the local area organized by the owner so you get to live like a local, there are walks in nature directly from the house if you don’t have a car, there is a tiny village with supermarket walkable, and a bigger village by bus, there are beautiful views from the garden and veranda of the house so it feels like being in nature, the owner Phillipe is always available and engaged with organizing which helps facilitate the house, the wider area around the house has endless hikes, villages, events etc. There are really nice Huts around the area for walking + good food. And most important, there is a very cute baby who attends most breakfasts and provides endless entertainment 🙂 I had a car which was necessary for bigger hikes and exploring the region but many people in the house did not and got along fine. Finally, if you do nothing else while at the house please try Philippe’s coffee innovation: the Oleato. (You’re welcome in advance for that tip!) Thank you Sarah and Phillipe for a great time! See you again!

Tolle, gemütliche Zimmer, jeden Tag ein super Frühstück mit gutem Kaffee und ein toller Ausblick - Herz, was willst du mehr.
Die Arbeitsplätze sind top ausgestattet, WLAN hat immer funktioniert und auch der Austausch mit anderen Co-Workern war super interessant und wertvoll. Die gemeinsamen Unternehmungen am Wochenende runden die perfekte Coliving-Experience einfach ab. Alles in allem eine echt coole Erfahrung und ein wunderschöner Ort für ein Coliving-Haus.

Staying at this coliving was my first experience, and it was the best choice! It was in the perfect location—close to the mountains and a cute village. I felt like at home with the best upgrade - perect cafe, yummy breakfast and those views! Philip with Sarah are amazing—so kind and helpful, they even took me to the bus station because I couldn’t find it haha. Defo will be coming back.

Franz&Mathilde is such a little piece of heaven. Sara and philipp make it so cosy and peaceful and the space is so warm and welcoming that you just can’t help but relax. This place is the perfect mix of hiking, mountains, outdoor activities and peaceful calm evenings. What a joy I would go again in a heartbeat! Also the breakfast and coffee is an absolute game changer!
