How it all started, how it goes on

About Us
the story about us

At the beginning of the 1960ies, Sarah’s grandparents, Franz & Mathilde, founded a small hotel in the village of Tesimo, South Tyrol. It was the time when guests booked a room by writing a letter. Everything worked a little bit more slowly, however, everything was a little bit more personal. They had guests from all over the world who shared their accomodation for almost 40 years. After years of success, the hotel was closed and remained so for 20 years. 


We, Sarah and Philipp, opened the doors again with the vision to start the first coliving and workation retreat in South Tyrol, called franz&mathilde. 


We want to create a place where like-minded people can exchange ideas, work and experience adventure. We believe in a fair and just working environment in which everyone should have the right to work as they do best. 


Here at franz&mathilde, we aim to provide you with a quiet and private working environment. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our little house.


A big thank to all the friends and family who have supported us during the last two years so that we could to realise our project.
