Remote workers who want to experience real southern Italy, not the tourist version, alongside a genuine group of international people. First-time digital nomads will find everything organised and supported. If you are someone who travels for the community more than the destination, and you want a place where lasting friendships, and occasionally more, tend to form, this is worth looking at seriously.

People who prefer to explore independently and keep to their own schedule. Solo travellers who want a quiet, anonymous stay. Anyone who needs party-heavy nightlife. Guests who want long-term residency: each stop lasts three to four weeks and then the group moves on. Village roads are uneven and hilly, which can be a challenge for some. Light sleepers may find the thin walls between rooms an issue.
