    Description

    We are a young and dynamic family company that belongs to the experience of people who have always expressed the desire to transmit the well-being that can be obtained from the wonders and scents of nature. With a deep love and an extraordinary passion for rescued animals, we have created an ideal place both to rediscover the little pleasures that come from an environment surrounded by green, and a comfortable and lovely habitat for those animal species that we hospital with care and attention.

    Siamo un'azienda familiare giovane e dinamica che si fa forte dell'esperienza di persone che hanno da sempre espresso il desiderio di trasmettere il benessere che si puo' trarre dalle meraviglie e dai profumi della natura.
    Con un profondo amore ed una straordinaria passione per gli animali salvati, abbiamo realizzato un luogo ideale sia per riscoprire I piccoli piaceri che provengono da un ambiente immerso nel verde, che un habitat confortevole ed amorevole per quelle specie animali che ospitiamo con cura e attenzione.
