I visited Franz and Mathilde for the first time – and I’ll definitely be coming back.This place is warm, welcoming, and genuinely inviting.It’s a joy to work in such an atmosphere while still enjoying the benefits of a vibrant community and its activities. The only downside: the morning coffee is so good that I'm now spoiled and can no longer enjoy my own coffee at home.

A beautiful, intimate place with a view of the mountains. Philipp, the host, puts his heart and soul into his guests' lives: whether it's his barista creations, his hiking tips, cooking dumplings and apple strudel together, roasting chestnuts over the campfire, ordering pizza for guests, or recommending the garage next door if you have car trouble. We felt completely at home, had a fully equipped workspace at our disposal, and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious and generous vegetarian breakfast with bread, cheese, muesli, croissants, and honey from the neighbor. Tea and water are available all day, and there's parking right outside. The vibe in the house is always very pleasant; you meet nice people with whom you can chat, spend evenings, and have fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our workation and our first co-working experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Franz & Mathilde. The coffee was exceptional, and Philipp’s barista skills truly stood out and made every morning a highlight. The view is absolutely beautiful, and the location couldn’t be more perfect. There are endless options for places to visit or activities to enjoy nearby, making it the ideal spot for both relaxation, work, and adventure. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay here! Perfect for our workation.
Great atmosphere, amazing people, and excellent coffee — we recommend the espresso tonic 😉 The organized afterwork activities were also great. Feels like home.

ENRICHED.
This word will resonate long after my coliving at franz&mathilde.
Where to begin?
Tasteful furnishings that make you feel good – both the rooms and the social area. An inspiring community of guests. Eating together, hiking, good conversations. Everything is possible - nothing is necessary. Philipp and Sarah are exceptionally friendly hosts. The two live their idea of community coliving. And thanks to Philipp's barista skills, I even started drinking coffee again.
Great opportunities to work with a view that clears up every knot in your head.
And dogs are welcome too. We love them. EVERYTHING. 💕

I had the extraordinary pleasure of staying at Franz&Mathilde for just over ten weeks. It was my first remote working/co-living experience and I couldn't have asked for a better stay.
The hosts (Philipp and Sarah) are wonderful people and they have created a comfortable, stylish, and relaxing space that immediately felt like home. There is a perfect balance of suggested activities and the opportunity to take things at your own pace, and my fellow guests were all very friendly like-minded individuals, all of which created a very harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
The en-suite room I stayed in was fantastic - I've never slept better - and the daily breakfast (included in the price) was healthy and hearty with a speciality coffee thrown in too (everything was either home-made or sourced locally and it was all delicious). The perfect start to the day.
The working facilities were excellent, with a co-working space that included large monitors and comfy chairs, and the view over the valley was unmatched, for that extra little bit of inspiration.
I have wonderful memories of my stay and I'll definitely be back - I can't wait to see everyone again!

This is truly a special place! Incredible setting, lovely hosts and beautiful rooms. The location is also great with a lovely village on the doorstep, hikes in the area and the Dolomites less than an hour away. The breakfast is also totally delicious!! Would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a base to explore the Dolomites region.

Warning: Once you stay at Franz&Mathilde you may experience extreme bouts of sadness and withdrawal symptoms upon leaving. Philipp and Sarah have created such a warm, welcome, and friendly atmosphere at (F&M) and the community spirit was just unbelievable.
Between planned weekly events like volleyball Monday's and shared dinner Sunday's, and all the impromptu trips and events you'll inevitably make with the other guests, you'll never be bored.
But we come here to work, right?... Well, good news there too - the wifi speeds are extremely fast and reliable. And the dedicated working area includes plenty of desks and external monitors available... Oh, and an unbeatable view and some specialty coffee thanks to the Coffee-Connoisseur Philipp! Each room also has a desk with a proper work chair if you need some solo-work time, and the wifi works wonderfully all the way to the upper reaches of the house.
While it does take some patience with the public bus schedule to arrive if you don't have a car, once you arrive you almost immediately feel right at home. (And there most likely will be enough guests with cars that once you arrive, you won't even need one yourself.) For shopping, there's a grocery store in Tesimo that's just a short 8 minute walk away that has most essentials (including lots of fresh veggies). For more serious shopping, you'll likely need to go to Lana which has all the big supermarkets. To get there you can hitch a ride with a fellow guest or take one of the many local busses.
The free breakfast with tons of vegan options is a wonderful way to bring everyone together for breakfast (not forced) before the work day begins, and from there, the day is yours to decide. Do you go hiking, organize a board game night, take a day trip to Lana/Merano/Bolzano, do some patio yoga, relax in the hammock, or work on your next season of "The Coliving" mockumentary?
All in all, I can't recommend Franz&Mathilde more. Can't wait for my next visit!

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.

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 🙂

Great, cozy rooms, a great breakfast every day with good coffee and a great view - what more could you want.
The workstations are well equipped, WiFi always worked and the exchange with other co-workers was super interesting and valuable. The joint activities on the weekend simply round off the perfect coliving experience. All in all a really cool experience and a beautiful place for a coliving house.

The most beautiful co-living in South Tyrol! Unique view, family environment, great local breakfast with Sunday highlight & definitely the best coffee in Tesimo. I will definitely come back.

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!

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!
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.

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!

Arriving at Franz and Mathilde feels like coming home to a place where your peers have been awaiting you. It sounds cliché, but this is what I truly believe: You will get to meet the kindest and most engaging hosts that will always help you out and make sure to encourage evening gatherings around the bonfire. Furthermore, we've built wonderful connections to people that have an interesting take on life.
We had the opportunity to go on midday hikes (thanks for the recommendations!), went for Via Ferratas for the first time, jumped into a beautiful lake and had a great time hanging out, eating tons of delicious pizza from Tisens.
Hard facts:
- good place to work, even with desks with adjustable height
- ultra comfy beds with a flabbergasting view from the balcony
- yummy breakfast with great coffee variations (Philipp knows his stuff!)
- a little supermarket is not too far to walk to
- you're definitely able to get here with public transport and get around by bus to your hikes. Just ask Sarah and Philipp about their recommendations 🙂
If I had to subsumize my experience here, I'd say it was an astonishing place that I'm happy to return to as soon as possible.

I stayed at Franz&Mathilde for a week in August and had the loveliest time. Even so that I already booked my second stay while I was there.
Philipp and Sarah put a lot of their energy into making us feel at home. From the delicious daily breakfast (what a luxury :)) to the pizza feasts and hiking trips we share together, building the community is at the core of everything Philipp and Sarah do. Plus, no community managers involved: Philipp and Sarah do everything by themselves and join the group often, for morning chats, nature trips or just hanging out and chatting. Makes it feel relaxed and personal.
The décor of the coliving is absolutely gorgeous: minimalism meets jungle vibes meets hygge. From how the place is furnished and decorated, you can tell that Philipp and Sarah have a background in (and eye for) creativity.
The people staying at Franz&Mathilde are open-minded, very kind, and super fun to be around. With nature so closeby (that backdrop!) and close to the hearts of everyone at the coliving, it’s not hard to find a connection.
If coliving in nature with fun and active people speaks to you, I would recommend to book a stay and find out for yourself 🙂

I stayed in Franz & Mathilde for 10 days and it was a perfect workation escape. I always say “Everything in life is better with a view”:
Especially In Franz & Mathilde house, from where you can work or study surrounded by green spaces, apple plantations, mountain views and nature sounds, this place provides you with everything a remote worker can dream of :
- speed internet
- Comfortable working and living space
- Inspiring interior made with taste and love
- Plenty of outdoor activities walking or driving distance
- Local food and drinks experiences
- Flexible and easy going setup
- Stunning landscape that you can enjoy from both your private room or common terrace !
A workation retreat to be repeated… 😍🥰

Hard to describe the amazing month that I just spend here, Sarah (with an H) & Philipp really make you feel home on day 1.
The place is so nicely decorated, the view is incredible, the atmosphere is calm and relaxing.
There is only 6 rooms so you get to know each people who lives with you and share some nice moment. They are also organizing some activities, like BBQ, night out, swim at the lake, pizza party, etc...so you don't get bored at any time.
All the guests who booked 1 week after 2 days already regrets to have not booked longer, don't make that mistake !

Beautiful and cozy coliving retreat - a home away from home with stunning views. The owners Sarah and Philipp are amazing hosts and have created a great space to work, live and connect for digital nomads and people who want a change of scenery. Recommend 100%
Edit: I have now been back for the third time and love how each season offers so many different activities - skiing resorts are close by as well as very refreshing mountain lakes for those hot summer months. Autumn might still be my favourite time to visit with changing colours and crisp mountain air for great panoramic hikes.

franz&mathilde is one of my favorite places. Apart from being exactly what I needed with the insanely beautiful views, being far from the noise, singing birds calmly waking me up in the morning, and really nice walks around, it added on top some pretty spectacular attractions that I did not expect. There are beautiful waterfalls a couple minutes by car away. There are terms with sauna (check out a hey sauna) in Meran close by. There are small lakes around just right for a weekend trip (a walk around Kalterer See is just fantastic). There is a hill just next to the house that is steep enough that you can go up, see the sunrise, then come back and see the second sunrise from your room's window. There is even a small lake with floating island (it actually moves from one side of the lake to another from one day to another even as it's big enough to have a couple of trees).
The place itself is beautifully designed (both hosts Philipp and Sara are interior designers), has a co-working space, a nice living room and the hosts serve so good and diverse breakfast (vegan/vegetarian and other options) with many home made ingredients (like baba ganush, vegan egg spread, or gluten free pankakes) that I had a momentary decision paralysis every morning.
Sara and Philip are awesome hosts. I totally felt like home. We did a couple hikes together, a road trip, they invited me for lunch a bunch of times, and we plaid board/card games.
On top of that there's Bobby Mitz. Bobby is the owner of the house (or she thinks so). She's fluffy, has beautiful eyes, and is very playful. She's also a cat and she loves lizards.
