Riposto is a small port town on the Ionian coast between Catania and Taormina, about 45 minutes by train from Catania airport. Cummari, a coliving founded in Catania in 2021, moved here in 2024: its house, 'The Haven', is for solo female travellers, artists and digital nomads, with women prioritised. No prices are published and bookings usually fill one to two months ahead.

From Giarre-Riposto station a combined Trenitalia and FCE ticket reaches the Circumetnea stations around Etna, such as Linguaglossa and Randazzo, and Interbus links Riposto with Taormina every two hours. No coworking was found in town.

Cummari – The Haven
Female-focused coliving founded in 2020 by Michelle Titus, a New York-born former correspondent and publisher. It opened in a restored 19th-century three-bedroom house with garden terrace in Catania and was not listed on Airbnb or Booking (word of mouth only). In 2024 it moved to Riposto, a small port town between Catania and Taormina at the foot of Etna, about 45 minutes by train from Catania airport. The website now presents 'The Haven' (coliving for solo female travellers, artists and digital nomads), group retreats and a year-long women's artist residency. Men are not fully excluded but women are prioritised. Cummari has also run countryside coworking retreats on Etna's eastern slope for up to 10 women.
