“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.”

Big-ticket · Worldwide · By application
Big-ticket coliving needs more than a beautiful property.
I work with people who own serious property and don’t want to turn it into another beige coliving with a yoga deck and a Canva logo. Coliving, retreats, sober houses, lifestyle hospitality. Worldwide. Mostly by referral.

“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.”

“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.”

Two ways in
Fix a serious project, or build one yourself.
Path 01 · Advisory
Waitlist openYou’re running or launching a serious property. It isn’t working.
Occupancy is thin. The concept is fuzzy. The community won’t stick. You need a second pair of eyes that has actually run the thing.

Every project delivered on the number the investor actually cared about. Occupancy, cover count, room rate, community stickiness. Every one.
The advisory exists because enough people kept sending me the same deck. A beautiful villa. A vague concept. The word “community” on every slide. No operating model. No idea who it’s actually for. And they ask me if it’s ready to launch.
I’m not interested in helping people build another beige retreat centre with a yoga mat, a Canva logo, and no point. I help people build places with standards. Identity. Commercial strength. And a reason to exist.
You can copy the surface. You cannot copy the judgement.
Most consultants hand you a deck. I hand you the layer the deck cannot describe. And the property starts to earn for it.
Recent declines
The projects I said no to.
Anonymised.
We turn down more projects than we take. Six to eight yeses a year, out of roughly forty enquiries. Selectivity is the entire mechanic. Every no is a promise to the yes.
- 01
Villa · 12 rooms
Ibiza, Spain
Wrong location for the model. Party island, sober positioning would have died on contact.
- 02
Retreat centre · 26 rooms
Tuscany, Italy
Price expectations unrealistic. Feasibility said the numbers only worked at 85% year-round. Nobody hits that here.
- 03
Coliving · 34 rooms
Mexico City, Mexico
Safety review failed. Neighbourhood and building could not support the guest we’d be selling to.
- 04
Ex-hotel · 48 rooms
Balkans coast
The owner wanted the property full inside 90 days. That is not this work. That is a fire sale in disguise.
- 05
Villa · 9 rooms
Portugal, Alentejo
The owner already knew the answer. They wanted validation, not a review. Waste of their money.
- 06
Dormant chateau · 18 rooms
South of France
Beautiful building. Owner would not step foot on site during setup. Founder-absent projects fail this format.
