🇮🇹 Best Colivings in Italy

Why Italy for coliving?

Italy combines world-class food, reliable infrastructure, and a growing remote work scene — especially in the south where the government's 7% flat tax incentive draws digital nomads to small towns that actively recruit remote workers. From Puglia's countryside colivings to Rome's urban hubs, Italian coliving offers a slower, more community-driven alternative to the typical nomad hotspots. Italy launched a dedicated digital nomad visa in 2024, finally formalizing what many were already doing on tourist stays.

The 'Southern Italy cheap rent + flat tax' combination is genuinely compelling: towns in Calabria, Sicily, and Basilicata have sold homes for €1 and offered monthly rent subsidies to attract remote workers. Colivings in cities like Bologna, Florence, and Milan offer the full urban package — excellent food, culture, fast rail connections — at prices that undercut Western European equivalents.
