    Description

    Ciao !
    We are Giulia and Francesco, we have a son Lorenzo (14 years old) and a daughter AnnaLucia (12 years old) and we live in Noto in south- est Sicily.
    Twelve years ago we decided to follow our dream to change our lives searching for a healthier life. We chose the beautiful Noto for opening our nice restaurant, which is a tiny and vibrant place where tourists from everywhere in the world meet around a tipical sicilian lemon granita.
    In the last 4 years we also co-create with other families an home- schooling project for children from 10 to 14 years old.
    We are passionate about living surrounded by nature and quiteness and would like to share our passion with our workawayers.
