About Savi
An intentional community in the mountains of Valencia
Our Story
How Savi Began
Savi began at the end of twenty years in hospitality — kitchens, restaurant openings, hotel launches, and retreat centres. Steve had spent most of his career running other people's spaces, watching what worked, what fell apart, and what only a long-term operator ever notices.
He kept seeing the same gap in coliving: beautiful properties with no real point of view. A pool, a pretty terrace, a vague nod to "community" — but no standards, no screening, and a house culture left to chance.
When this villa in the Sierra Calderona presented itself — 25 minutes from Valencia, with mountains, light, and silence — Steve saw the chance to build the place he wished he could send people to. Sober by design. Intentional in who lives here. Built for focused people, not for a feed.
The Enso
"Drawn in a single, unhurried stroke — and never quite closed."
Our mark is an enso — the Zen circle made in one breath. It stands for a clear mind, presence, and a day's work finished well. And the gap in the circle? That's intentional. It's the door left open: the space we keep for whoever arrives next, ready to build.
