Coliving Spaces in Italy
All listings are personally verified by our team — no spam, no misleading descriptions.
Italy is a slower-burn coliving destination than Spain or Portugal, but that is part of its appeal. The country is genuinely beautiful, the food culture is serious, and coliving here feels less like a nomad circuit stop and more like actually living somewhere.
Milan has the strongest infrastructure and business connections. Rome offers an unmatched cultural backdrop for daily life. Sicily and southern Italy are where you go when you want warmth, affordability, and an experience that feels less international and more Italian. Since introducing its Digital Nomad Visa, Italy has become a real long-term option for non-EU remote workers.

Italy offers a variety of destinations for remote workers. Here is what each city has to offer.
Milan is Italy's most internationally connected city — the financial, fashion, and design capital of the country. It has the strongest startup ecosystem in Italy, the best transport connections, and a growing number of colivings built around professionals and entrepreneurs. It is more expensive than the rest of Italy, but the infrastructure and international community justify it.
Living and working in Rome is a different kind of nomad experience. The history and architecture are everywhere — even a walk to the supermarket takes you past something ancient. The city has a large expat community, solid infrastructure, and a growing number of colivings in neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Pigneto. It is louder and less efficient than Milan, but the trade-off is obvious.
Sicily is where you go when you want warmth, affordable prices, and a genuinely Italian experience rather than an international one. Palermo and Catania are the main coliving hubs. The pace is considerably slower than Milan or Rome, the food is excellent, and the cost of living is among the lowest in Italy. It attracts a different type of nomad — one who is not in a rush.
Typical price range
€700 – €1,800 / month
Italy offers a wide price range. Milan is the most expensive, while southern cities and Sicily offer excellent value. All-inclusive coliving pricing is increasingly common across the country.
Typically included in the price:
Italian colivings vary a lot depending on where you are. In Milan and Rome, expect modern, professionally run spaces in central locations. In Tuscany or Sicily, you might be in a restored farmhouse or a villa with a courtyard and shared workspace — a very different experience.
Community events in Italian colivings usually revolve around food and local culture: group dinners, cooking evenings, day trips to wine regions or archaeological sites. It fits naturally with how Italians live, and it makes the community experience here feel less staged than it can in more nomad-focused destinations.
Italy introduced a Digital Nomad Visa that gives non-EU remote workers a legal path to stay for up to a year, renewable. Beyond the visa, Italy makes sense because it is affordable compared to Northern Europe, centrally located, and offers a quality of life — food, culture, climate — that is genuinely hard to find elsewhere.
Coliving in Italy typically costs between €700 and €1,800 per month. Milan is the most expensive, while southern regions and islands like Sicily offer more affordable options. Prices generally include WiFi, utilities, and shared workspace.
Yes. Italy introduced a Digital Nomad and Remote Worker Visa. It allows non-EU citizens who work remotely for foreign companies to live in Italy for up to one year (renewable). Check the Italian consulate website for current requirements.
Milan is the best connected city with the strongest business and startup scene. Rome offers a remarkable cultural experience. For a slower pace, coliving options in Tuscany, Puglia, or Sicily are increasingly popular.
In coliving spaces, English is the primary language and all staff speak it fluently. In daily life outside the coliving, English proficiency varies by region — more common in northern cities, less so in rural areas.
