Tarifa (ES), has some small 'digital nomad' scene and nature, sea and mountains. Other option is Granada (ES), some of the highest mountains of Europe, good weather but nature/mountains a bit dry compared to Switzerland

Brasov (RO), fast internet (faster than UK), good food, friendly people and more nature and mountains (Carpates) than you can hope for (and bears for bonus points). Also good priced vs Switzerland and nature wise looking very similar, Brasov and surroundings being more unspoiled. With what you would spend in Switzerland you'll be able to live 3-4 months in Brasov in the same conditions.

+1 for Tarifa (as long as you don't mind the wind!). I spent some time there about 10 years ago (can't believe it's been that long!). I remember meeting a few 'digital nomads', although I don't think the term was commonly used back then.

It's close to some nice Spanish cities (Cadiz, Jerez, Sevilla, Malaga etc) if you want a change of scene on the weekends, and you can get a ferry to Morocco which takes about 30 minutes.

English is widely spoken, but if you're interested in learning Spanish there's a great little language school in the town.

Thank you! Although I don't think I'd like to live in Spain as I hate when it gets too hot.
Don't rule out of all of Spain! Northern Spain is nice and parts have a similar climate to the UK. But yes some places in mid and southern Spain can be hell in summer.
