Description
I work on an organic farm of 7 hectares, mainly cultivated with lemons, late oranges and olive trees. I'm also a lawyer, so I move, but my goal is a permaculture project. They are on the northern coast of Sicily, facing the Aeolian Islands, under the Nebrodi mountains. From here it is easy to reach almost the whole island, nearby, in addition to the splendid sea, there are ancient villages and woods where it is possible to go hiking.
