📢 PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY. If you need different dates or a longer/shorter stay, write to me, and we might be able to arrange something. 🌍 JOIN US FOR A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE IN THE HEART OF SALENTO! Immerse yourself in the charm of Lecce, the beauty of its coastline, its vibrant events, and its enchanting inland villages. You will stay in a welcoming, dreamlike and friendly coliving space, just a few steps from the city center, alongside fellow TripMates, other travelers, and nomads passing through. 🏡 THE CONCEPT Every coliving space is different and meant for like-minded people. In our case, we aim to bring together individuals who can live in a shared space while fostering an easy-flowing, inclusive, safe, and clean atmosphere. At the same time, we value respect for personal space, privacy, and boundaries. We are all different, with unique needs and rhythms. Our goal is to embrace diversity without creating social pressure—allowing sharing to happen naturally. This is not a hotel, B&B, hostel, or yoga center. It is a home—designed to feel like home—welcoming people of all ages, social backgrounds, cultures, genders, and orientations. It’s an ideal environment for relaxed, lively, and curious individuals. 🏡✨ 🍽️ WELCOME MEAL Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a home-cooked dinner 🍲, and everyone in the house will be free to join and share a recipe as well. 📅 DAILY FLOW Each morning, our WhatsApp group 📱 will provide updates on all the events happening in the area. There are always several options, as Lecce has a vibrant cultural, artistic, and social life. 🎭🎨🎶 From there, we are free to plan our day according to our needs and desires. If you want to join an event with others, take a trip to the beach 🏖️, go hiking ⛰️, or do something else, you can. And if you prefer to spend time alone, that’s completely fine too. Everything is optional—freedom and spontaneity are at the core of this experience. 🚀 💃 PIZZICA AND TARANTISM 🕷️ There will also be opportunities to attend Pizzica concerts—a truly unique experience. 🎶🔥 This ancient tradition originates from the bite of the tarantula 🕷️ and evolved into a powerful ritual of liberation through trance-like dance. Today, many festivals take place around Lecce, and the dance itself is easy to learn and incredibly magnetic. If you’d like, you will have the chance to experience and learn it—you’ll be amazed! 💫💃 🚲 HOW TO GET AROUND? Total freedom here as well. You can use public transport 🚌, walk 🚶, or rent a scooter 🛵, bicycle 🚲, or car 🚗 (at affordable rates) and share expenses with other participants. ✈️ HOW TO REACH LECCE? It's very easy! The two closest airports 🛫 are Brindisi and Bari, both offering many low-cost flight options. If you're traveling from other locations, you can reach Lecce by Trenitalia 🚆 or by bus services like FlixBus 🚌 or Itabus 🚍.
✨ ABOUT ME Rather than calling myself a TripLeader, I see myself as a TripFacilitator—relaxed and here to ensure that everyone has a great experience in an environment free of hierarchy. I have never followed typical tourist routes or sought the adrenaline of paid, pre-planned experiences. Instead, I have always focused on the beauty of each moment, openness to the unknown, and chance encounters. Traveling has been my greatest teacher, showing me how to look beyond cultural differences, view diversity as a strength, and embrace the gifts life offers—not by suppressing them but by integrating them into who we are. While I love the world of travel, I have always returned “home,” engaging with reality as it is—with its challenges and responsibilities—while striving to carry that same sense of wonder with me. Living in the Present, finding joy in small things, embracing the new, and, above all, practicing self-reflection. And then, sharing all of this—hosting travelers and connecting with locals. It will be a pleasure to share this experience with you too.
🛋️ THE SPACE The spaces are designed to maintain your privacy, support remote work if needed, and encourage spontaneous shared moments with fellow participants. The rooms 🛏️ are large, with double beds and desks, and you can also work in the kitchen, the yoga room, or on the beautiful balcony. There is also a shared room. The Wi-Fi is very fast. ⚡ The yoga room 🧘 has mattresses, workout tools, and an HD smart TV. It is available for creative activities, workshops, yoga sessions, and events—always free from pressure. 📚 There is a small library with books to learn Italian, essays, and novels to borrow, as well as some free books to take. The kitchen 🍽️ is fully equipped, with well-organized spaces for everyone. Board games 🎲 and playing cards 🃏 are available. ✨ One of the most special features is the Dream Board, where everyone can write down their night dreams 🌙 and observe interesting connections with others. There is also a second board dedicated to personal life dreams. 🌟 🏡 ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS Private room with a double bed for one or two people. There are three rooms, differing in size and brightness. The price is the same, but those who book first will be able to choose. Shared room accommodations are available for a more social and informal experience. The two bathrooms are shared, and everyone must take care, as in other shared spaces, to leave them fresh and clean for the next person. 🤔 ARE YOU SURE? If you're looking for an extremely social environment, where groups form similar to those in a community, a family, or among teenage friends, there are two wonderful hostels in Lecce that might suit you. 🎉 Similarly, if you prefer accommodation with cleaning services, the comforts typical of a B&B or a hotel, and without the need to pay attention to resource waste or the care of the house, you will find many suitable options in the city. 🏨 In summary: You are welcome if you can manage your space independently while also sharing respectfully with others, recognizing and embracing differences. Since this space aims to be inclusive, if you have any difficulties—whether personal, related to boundaries, cleanliness, care of the space, or other aspects of shared living—I invite you to share them with me in advance. This will allow us to find ways, if possible, to integrate your diversity in harmony with the environment and the people here. This journey is an opportunity to connect with yourself and others in a free, welcoming, and inspiring atmosphere. 🌿✨ 🌡️ HOT AND COLD Every room is equipped with a fan for ventilation and an electric heater for colder days (rarely needed). Please note that electricity costs for heating are not included. A kilowatt meter is connected to the heater, and the price is exactly that of the electric company (€0.12–€0.50 per hours).
