franz&mathilde - coliving and workation retreat

Hi, nice to meet you.

Welcome to franz&mathilde, a coliving and workation retreat, located in the very heart of the Italian alps, South Tyrol. In the historic village of Tisens, next to apple fields, forests and mountains, a place was created that makes it possible to combine work and vacation. Surrounded by nature but not far from the cities of Merano, Bolzano and the Dolomites, franz&mathilde offers a quiet and relaxed working atmosphere, for digital nomads, remote workers and all those who are looking for a little dolce vita.

We’re looking forward to meeting you,

sarah lena&philipp

COWORKING

As interior designers we know a thing or two about how to set up your perfect working space. You’ll get your private coworking desk with your day ticket and all the beautiful features that come with it. However, our space is limited, which is why you need to book in advance via email. We promise a striking view, the peace and quiet of our traditional village, and the best coffee of course …

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.
