The 7 weeks I spent at the coliving were amazing and truly enriching. I connected with people from many nationalities who, like me, work online and embrace a nomadic lifestyle. Biot is charming, and being close to Nice makes a big difference, with its nightlife, markets, museums, and beautiful beaches. The hosts organized great activities, perfect for connecting, like wine and cheese nights and backyard BBQs. Special thanks to Gi and Manu for the warm welcome and for making me part of this the coliving ❤️ See you around 🌎💫

Words can hardly describe what an incredible experience I've had here at the coliving. I planned to stay here for six weeks, but ended up with eight as I realized that I didn't feel ready to say goodbye to this beatiful place. The hosts, Manu and Giedre have really built something unique, and they take such good care of you in their different ways. Even as my stay went through january and february, the supposed 'quiet time of the year', my time here has been filled with such a wide variety of amazing experiences while having made lifelong friends. Oh, and the work is pretty all right too!

I can't find the words to describe this experience. It has been one of the most fulling things i've done in my life. The Villa is absolutely amazing, Manu and Giedre have done an amazing job making it feel cozy and welcoming to everyone. They are great hosts, not just for the volunteers but also to the guests that stay there as well. I met a lot of amazing people and learned a lot about personal and profesional skills. Thanks for letting me be part of this places history! And if you anyone has the chance to da volunteer here, please don't hesitate on taking it. I will miss it so much!

I stayed at a beautiful and spacious coliving in Biot, France, and absolutely loved it. The villa is a bit outside the city, which makes it perfect if you're looking for peace and quiet. The terrace and pool were my favorite spots — I used them until the very last day. The hosts were amazing and the coliving vibe was great. When the owners went away for a month, another volunteer and I took care of the house, and they trusted us completely. The cleaning tasks were simple, well-organized and exactly as described. Everything was perfect. 10/10!
