Description
We are an Ecoresort and organic farm located in the green heart of italy between Umbria and Toscany in a very nice area surronded by intact nature with a wonderfull wiew on Trasimento lake and from a lot of important historical and artistic place.
It is a place hosted inside a 1600 old stone farm house . We created an ecoresort where guest come from all over the world and we give them different services (breakfast, restourant, spa services and others activities).

We are organised in a small staff and we always need help mostly for maintainance (building, painting, electricity and plumber works) and for ordinary activity (cleaning, laundry, gardening)
