“A rare environment where you can slow down, connect, and leave clearer, more focused, and recharged than when you arrived. When I'm back in Spain, this is where I'll come home to.”

Case study
Savi Coliving. A villa in the mountains, a handful of people, real work.
Savi was built as a premium sober coliving space in the mountains near Valencia. It exists for remote workers, founders, creatives, and people in transition who wanted something more intentional than a shared flat with better photography.

The brief
Build something serious, not another beige retreat.
Most coliving spaces try to be everything to everyone. Savi chose to be a clear, narrow thing. And let the rest sort itself out.
- Concept
- Sober coliving for founders, creatives, and people in transition.
- Location
- Mountains near Valencia, Spain.
- Stays
- 1–3 months, application-only.
- Rooms
- From €1,100 to €1,900 per month.
- Standards
- No alcohol. No distractions. Reviewed applications.
- Operating model
- Founder-led, with proper hospitality and operational rhythm.
Inside the house
Rooms, terraces, work and food. Built around focus and community.
What Savi proved
People do not just buy a room.
They buy the feeling of being in the right place, with the right people, at the right time in their life.
A clear concept, a high standard for who gets accepted, and a non-party house culture turned a stretch of Spanish mountainside into a brand people care about. And a business that holds up commercially.
Every part of The Coliving Advisor’s practice comes from running this. Not theorising about it.
What guests say
“I've come across many co-working and co-living spaces through my work. Savi, with its sober concept, is truly something very special. A place that leaves a lasting impression.”
Saskia Rehhahn
Hospitality professional
“I genuinely couldn't have found a better co-living spot in Valencia. The location is incredible. The community is warm. The standard of hosting is on another level.”

Track record
Other projects across 20 years.
The advisory is built on 20 years of operator-side work. Kitchens, restaurants, hotels, rural eco-properties, retreat centres. Some founded. Some opened. Some worked on as part of the team. A few worth naming:
La Bocana
Restaurant · Formentera
Opened and ran the kitchen. One of the first restaurants on Formentera to take ingredient sourcing and ambience seriously without becoming a tourist trap.
Casas de Benali
Rural eco hotel · Spain
Worked on the operating team during the eco hotel chapter. Front-of-house, hospitality systems, guest experience. Has since pivoted to a corporate offsite retreat centre under its current ownership.
La Casa del Viento
Founded · Awarded · Spain
Founded by Steve and operated as an eco-conscious retreat in rural Spain. Awarded the Worldpackers Sustainable Development Goals prize in 2025. Passed on shortly after. Steve handed the project on to focus fully on Savi, which became an overnight success.
Savi Coliving
Sober coliving · Sierra Calderona, Valencia
Founded and operating today. The premium sober coliving that proves what the advisory teaches. The full case study above.
Want this kind of clarity for your property?
Steve works with a small number of serious owners and founders each year. If your property has real commercial potential, this is the conversation to have.
