  • Description

    Description

    Living slowly and in balance - this is our desire that led us to create our little project.

    We are Angela and Fabio, both born and raised in this land with the desire to stay. We met eight years ago, and our love for our Sicily and our small town between the sea and Mount Etna led us three years ago to decide to purchase this 7,000 square meter plot of land where we hope to be able to live within the year and host visitors who share our vision.
