ESCAPE has run colivings since 2016 and operates two: Greek Escape in Gerani near Rethymno on Crete, and Swiss Escape in the mountain village of Grimentz. Crete shared twins start around 750 euros a month with singles at 1,100, and Grimentz shared rooms from 990 Swiss francs. Crete reports 428 Mbps over Starlink, and the company also runs retreats and consulting for future coliving founders.
ESCAPE began in 2016 in Grimentz, Switzerland, before the word coliving was in common use, and now runs two houses: Swiss Escape in that same alpine village, and Greek Escape in Gerani near Rethymno on Crete. It also runs retreats and consults for people opening their own colivings.
Ten years is a long time in this industry, and most colivings from 2016 no longer exist. That track record is the strongest thing on offer here.
The two locations complement each other well. Crete is warm, cheap and coastal, workable most of the year. Grimentz is a quiet Valais mountain village for skiing, hiking and recharging after intense travel, at a price that makes Switzerland possible.
Notably, the operator wrote publicly about lowering prices at Greek Escape, which is an unusual direction and worth knowing when comparing rates.
Greek Escape from around 750 euros a month for a shared twin, singles 1,100, doubles 1,350. Swiss Escape from 990 Swiss francs shared, 1,690 single. Seven night minimum, 28 day pricing basis.
The longest track record in this directory, across a warm island and a cold mountain.
