Colle Casette Residence

Nestled in the picturesque, hilly green district just outside of Rome, our property invites you to experience the delightful lifestyle of 'Dolce Vita' amidst vineyards and vibrant greenery. This is more than just a place to stay; it's a lively coliving hostel and social farm that offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Join our (g)local, nomadic, international, and interspecific family. Here, every resident, whether human or non-human, contributes to the rich tapestry of our community. As we share our lives with dogs, cats, donkeys, and goats, we offer more than just accommodation—we offer a family. Having recently doubled in size, our haven now boasts over 1 hectare of lush outdoor space, two elegant villas, and 300 square meters of cozy indoor common areas. These expanded facilities provide ample room for personal retreat and community interaction, ensuring a balanced lifestyle that caters to both private reflection and social engagement. Empower and regenerate yourself by sharing your skills, learning from others, and interacting with our interspecific community. Engage with the local people and landscape to make a meaningful impact, embracing a lifestyle that's as rewarding as it is sustainable. Offering both private and shared rooms, all ensuite, we prioritize your comfort and privacy. The dorms, accommodating a maximum of four guests, feature no bunk beds to ensure a superior sleep experience. Every bed, crafted from natural wood and equipped with orthopedic support and memory foam, promises exceptional comfort. Our philosophy centers on creating a relaxed, natural, and regenerating environment. We've reimagined our hostel concept to ensure it aligns with the desires of today’s travelers, focusing on providing an authentic and profoundly local experience. It's been a labor of love to enhance our property's uniqueness and elevate our hospitality. We invite you to join us and appreciate our commitment to creating a one-of-a-kind coliving experience that offers more than just a place to stay—it offers a place to truly live.
