This program welcomes selected artists from all disciplines - whether you express yourself through painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, photography, performance, or beyond - as well as creative colivers seeking inspiration and community. As a collier you will have the possibility to work remotely from our co-working space, whilst participating in the program.

Artists benefit from time and space to develop their work, share skills through workshops, and connect with both international peers and our local Tuscan community. Colivers gain hands-on creative experiences, learn new artistic techniques, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of a collaborative, nature-based living environment. Together, they form a vibrant cultural exchange where art, life, and community thrive.

Please send your application via the Application Form until August 28, 2025. We will review all applications and confirm your participation asap by sending you a booking confirmation together with the first invoice to reserve your spot.

The reservation of Tertulia Coliving becomes binding only when we receive the payment receipt of a confirmation deposit (correspondent to 50% of the total of the stay). The booking confirmation that Tertulia Coliving sends to the client establishes the drawing up of the booking contract.

The reservation is automatically cancelled if we do not receive the deposit within 5 days from the booking. The deposit can be paid by bank transfer (on the bank account indicated in the reply email) or on demand by card payment with a fee (1% European private cards, 2.8% corporate and non-European cards). All displayed rates include VAT.

With the payment of the confirmatory deposit, the booking and payment conditions and particularly the cancellation conditions are considered understood and legally accepted in full.

Everything that is offered is an invitation, so you decide what serves you best. You will get most value out of the retreat, if you take space to be present for the activities offered.

Yes, we offer single and shared rooms. You can sign up for a shared room and we will try to match you with someone else who also prefers the shared option.

We encourage sustainable travel and have selected a location in Central Europe that is easily reachable by train. The closest train station is Vicchio, Tuscany (approx. 1 hour direct train from Florence). Closest airports are Florence, Pisa and Bologna.

From Vicchio train station we can arrange shuttles to Tertulia. A few days before the start of the retreat we will organise arrival and departure with the group.

We encourage to use local, seasonal food and are happy to share our wisdom and passion for the Mediterranean cuisine. A Welcome Dinner on Arrival Day and an Aperitivo on the Exhibition Day on the are included. All other meals are self-catered, that means every participant individually takes care of breakfast and lunch (at own expenses), and we will centrally organise regular trips to the supermarket. Our favourite tradition in the coliving are the shared communal dinners. For this, we organise cooking teams, who decide and take care of one dinner each - in alignment with the group. All dietary requirements can be respected in this way.

The official program language is English. In the coliving we generally communicate in English, but we also speak Italian and German. Don´t worry, if your English is not perfect, we are happy to support with translations - and it is a great opportunity to learn in a supportive environment.

Generally, artists and colivers are responsible for the art supplies and materials. Of course, natural materials and tools that can be found on the farm, can be used freely. We can help you to organise (order & buy) what you need, please let us know your requirements in the application form.

We will set up adequate studio spaces for creative work. Our coliving is designed for groups and workshops, so there are plenty of large and bright communal indoor and outdoor spaces available. Plus, we are surrounded by a large wild forest with walking paths - so you can get inspired by nature.
