La Vita Sukha is a regenerative coliving and retreat space nestled in the mountain village of Roseto Valfortore, Puglia, Italy. Founded by Liz Cirelli, a permaculture designer and musician, the project is rooted in community, sustainability, and mindful, slow living. Operating during spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November), La Vita Sukha offers stays ranging from two weeks to three months. Guests can choose between private ensuite rooms and shared accommodations, with prices starting at €450 for two weeks. The villa features fiber-optic Wi-Fi, a communal kitchen, a swimming pool, and a permaculture garden. The community emphasizes co-creation and shared purpose. Residents participate in communal meals, mindfulness practices, and workshops, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support. The surrounding area offers opportunities for hiking, exploring local markets, and engaging with the local culture. La Vita Sukha's mission extends beyond its immediate community. The founders aim to establish a global network of hubs that promote permaculture education and sustainable living. They also plan to sponsor individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with the opportunity to learn and implement regenerative practices in their own communities. Their retreats are ideal for digital nomads and remote workers seeking a slower pace of life, deeper connections, and an environment that supports both personal and professional growth.
“In tiny Roseto Valfortore time slows down: cobbled streets, mountain views and neighbours who still press their own olive oil. Sukha means lasting happiness — they chose the name well.”
