Hello earthlings!
I'm Ginevra!
I live in a corner of paradise among wild and beautiful hills, taking care of a small land surrounded by olive trees and running a guest-house for tourists and retreats. I live here with my son (born 2022) in a stone country house with saltwater pool and a wooden floor shala for activities, sharing the place with cats and a friendly sweet dog.
Very interested in eco-sustainable lifestyle, permaculture principles and holistic disciplines. I love especially practicing yoga, traveling and meeting people from all around the world and enjoy life small things.
The land is in a strategical area to visit many places as beautiful beaches, medieval towns, natural parks, hot springs. Scansano is the nearest village, it's 6 km from home - (15 minutes by car) and you can find supermarkets, restaurants, wine tasting shops and public transports.
>>
This place is for you if you like:
• living in the countryside away for the city
• meeting new people but also spending time by yourself
and you are:
• nature lover
• dog friendly
• kids friendly
Better if:
• you have your own car
(but it's easy hitchhiking to the closest village)

Wow, my experience with Ginevra and Davide was nothing short of perfect and lovely. I felt so accepted and part of a little community in their gorgeous place. I found the olive harvest to be so meditative and satisfying. Even so, we found variety in each day. Evenings of yoga practice and cozy cooking were so appreciated. Ginevra even took us out… read more
