    Description

    Catherine and Robert, we retired a few months ago in our estate located in the hinterland of Ventimiglia in Italy halfway between the sea and the high mountains (about 15 kms). We are at an altitude of 600m surrounded by olive trees, terraces, woods, etc. We have a view of the surrounding mountains and of 2 typical altitude villages. Our project is to make a place of meetings, research and sharing in the spirit of the oases initiated by P. Rabbhi.

    Catherine et Robert, nous avons pris notre retraite il y a quelques mois dans notre domaine situé dans l’arrière-pays de Vintimille en Italie à mi-chemin entre la mer et la haute montagne (15 kms environ). Nous sommes à 600m d’altitude entourés d’oliviers, de restanques, de bois, etc. Nous avons une vue sur les montagnes environnantes et sur 2 villages d'altitude typiques. Notre projet est de faire un lieu de rencontres, de recherches et de partages dans l’esprit des oasis initiés par P. Rabbhi.

    The travelers, whether they are in love with the sea (proximity of the French and Italian Riviera) or with the mountains, will be able to appreciate during their free time of excursions, of visits of the charming and typical Ligurian villages, which we will be able to make them discover or alone if they are in a vehicle. We live in the middle of nature and in a very quiet place.
