Frequently asked questions

A coliving combines a private room with shared spaces and an active community. Residents have their own rooms but share kitchens, coworking areas and lounges, which makes it easy to connect with like-minded people.

Private rooms start from €758 for 4 weeks; every room type and rate is listed on the Rooms & Pricing page.

The price includes access to all shared facilities (kitchen, coworking, outdoor areas), bikes, laundry, a weekly change of bed linen and towels, weekly room cleaning, community facilitation and the organisation of transport, workshops and cooking classes.

The price does not include travel to the masseria, food, entry tickets or guided visits. Shared dinners are part of the experience, but their cost is split among the colivers.

Yes, the minimum stay is 2 weeks (14 nights). We offer stays of 2 or 4 weeks and suggest 4 weeks (28 nights) to enjoy the full experience. If you can only come for slightly less than 2 weeks, let us know and we will see if there is a fit.

Puglia has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. From June to August temperatures can reach 30–35°C (86–95°F), especially inland. Spring and autumn (April to June, September to October) are pleasant and warm, with fewer crowds.

No more than 3 people share the same bathroom. Single, Double and Superior Double rooms have a shared bathroom; the Ensuite room has its own. Bathrooms are not split by gender, but tell us if you need this and we will try to arrange it.

Yes, there are 2 smaller meeting rooms that are ideal for calls, next to 1 large coworking room for working together. Every private room also has a desk and WiFi, so you can take calls in full privacy.

Travel to Bari, then take a train or the Trulli Link bus to Putignano, about 10 minutes by car from the masseria.

By plane, land at Bari Airport and reach Bari Centrale by shuttle bus (Tempesta Autoservizi, 30 minutes, €5) or train (Ferrotramviaria, 20 minutes, €5.30). From Bari Centrale the Trulli Link bus takes about 50 minutes but runs less often; trains are more frequent but take 1h 20′ to 1h 30′.

We can pick you up in Putignano if you arrive by 6 pm and let us know your schedule. If you arrive later, we will help you find a local driver (cost not included). If you come by car, just follow Google Maps and tell us your arrival time.

Not necessarily: we provide a shared car, bikes and contacts with local drivers (driver cost not included). Being in a rural area, mobility is limited, so for full independence we suggest bringing or renting a car (from about €35/day). We can put you in touch with a local rental partner.

The community is usually 10–12 people. Francesco and Sabrina live on site and take an active part in community life.

Yes, shared dinners are part of the Masseria Olga experience, but they are not included in the price: the cost is split among the colivers. Every Monday we hold a community meeting to plan the week's activities, including shared dinners, and everyone is encouraged to cook or share something.

Everyone buys their own groceries and keeps them on an assigned shelf. Because mobility is limited, we organise at least one shopping trip per week. You can also pick whatever is in season from our vegetable and fruit garden.

Not always: the week is roughly planned at the Monday community meeting, and everyone is free to join or not. Shared dinners usually bring everyone together, while at weekends the group may split between the beach and sightseeing. A community facilitator looks after organisation and everyone's well-being.

Not at all. Community activities are mainly organised after 5 pm, and the group will coordinate with you so you can share community moments, with a little flexibility on your side.
