Montino: a mountain house above Lake Maggiore
Montino is a coliving in Oggebbio, in the pre-Alps above Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. The house cooks and eats together, travels together, and runs themed months and events from September to March alongside its standing coliving.
What Montino Does
- Three clear tiers. Shared rooms from around 750 euros a month, private with shared bathroom from 1,000, private en-suite from 1,400.
- Long-stay discounts up to 40 percent. Which changes the maths substantially for a season.
- A seven night minimum. Short enough to try, with long-term stays welcomed.
- An explicitly inclusive house. LGBTQ, vegetarian, dog and pet, vanlife and disability friendly, all stated up front.
- Themed months and events. Running through the autumn and winter.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Lake Maggiore is one of the great Italian lakes and considerably quieter than Como. Oggebbio sits above the western shore, with Switzerland twenty minutes north, Milan under two hours south, and mountains directly behind.
The inclusivity list is not decoration. Very few colivings state disability friendliness or welcome vans, and being explicit about it tells you what kind of house it is before you arrive.
The 4.3 rating across 143 reviews is solid rather than exceptional, which for a house of this size and turnover is normal. The 40 percent long-stay discount is the detail worth acting on if you are considering a season.
