Some colivings are really just tidy apartments with a shared kitchen. Casa Gori is not one of them, and that is exactly why it keeps coming up when people ask us for somewhere with a bit more soul. It sits just outside Valencia, in the green huerta at Alboraia, built around a century old farmhouse.
What sets it apart is the mix. Casa Gori brings together a coliving, a large garden and an art studio under one roof, so creativity and nature are part of daily life rather than a weekend add on.
An ecosystem for living
Founders Anna and Naik describe Casa Gori as an ecosystem for living, one that blends entrepreneurship, art and nature. That is not just a tagline. The 7000 square metre garden runs on regenerative agriculture, the art studio collaborates with local Valencia artists, and the whole place is shaped around a few simple ideas, purpose, community, creativity and time spent outdoors. It is the sort of philosophy a lot of people say they want and few places actually build around.
What makes Casa Gori special
For anyone who likes to make things, this is a rare find. You can join the coliving, get your hands in the soil in the gardens, or spend time in the art studio, and the day flows naturally between them. The farmhouse gives the place a warmth and a history that a new build simply cannot copy.
It also has the best of both worlds when it comes to location. You are in the calm of the huerta, yet Valencia, its beaches and the Mediterranean are all close by for when you want city life. If a creative, sustainable base near the coast sounds like you, take a closer look at Casa Gori.
Living with the seasons
One idea sits at the heart of Casa Gori, that a good life is built around a few core needs, purpose, connection, creativity and time in nature, and that where you live should make room for all of them. Stays run in seasonal three month cohorts, so you can experience Valencia through the particular light and rhythm of each part of the year.
In practice that means a place where the garden, the studio and the shared spaces shape the day as much as your laptop does. It is a softer, more grounded way to spend a few months than a city apartment, and it tends to attract thoughtful, creative people who turn out to be good company. Valencia itself is only a short ride away by tram or bike when you want the city. 
Good to know before you go
Casa Gori runs mainly in English, with Spanish too, so it is friendly to an international crowd and a nice place to practise the language. It will suit makers, founders and anyone drawn to slow, seasonal living over a fast city pace. Because it is just outside Valencia rather than in the centre, it is best for people who like a little green space and do not need nightlife on the doorstep.
You can find Casa Gori among the other colivings we feature on Find Your Coliving, and compare it with spaces across Spain and beyond.
