Description
We are a family living in the Apennines between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna.
We live a simple life in close contact with nature and its elements.
We've lived in this beautiful place for nine years, experiencing many different ways of living together. Currently, we are Gaia (30), Tito (31), and our children, Toa (5), and Ilde (3).
I'm Gaia. First and foremost, I'm a mother, a doula (birth keeper), an educator in the forest school project I created here in our land, a lover of life, a untiring dreamer and much more.
I'm Tito. I've been a cook for over 15 years, but I'm also a builder, a farmer, a lover of history, music, and much more.
We grow and eat lots of fruits and vegetables because we believe that caring for the land and our bodies is the foundation for living a healthy, sustainable, and happy life. We've renovated a small, green-building house to accommodate people, friends, volunteers, families, who want to learn about our work and support us in our life project!

Accommodation
We live in a large rustic farmhouse, upstairs we have a large free room with two single beds and one double bed, heated with a wood stove, there is private kitchen and the bathroom is shared.
We like to share our delicious meals and learn new recipes, we love healthy cooking!
Every week we make bread with natural yeast!
In the summer we start to cook a lot of things to keep for the winter: jams, tomato sauce, pickles, herbal teas, natural cosmetics products, syrups, juices and much more ...
What else ...
Our home is located in the middle of the mountains on the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. In 7 minutes we are in the country, where there is also the train station. Free days you can get in 1 hour and a half in Florence or Bologna and 30 minutes in Faenza, 20 minute in Brisighella or simply relax and enjoy nature with us!
In summer there are a lot of beautiful rivers where we go for a swim.
There are many mountain to explore, but the village of Brisighella is also very beautiful!
What we desire more from this experience is to meet new people to help us to carry on this great project of life and live in harmony all together!
