We are Corinna and Benedikt and live off-grid amidst the quiet and gentle mountain landscape of Tuscany near Arezzo. We are both vegan cooks, passionate gardeners and appreciate living in harmony with wild nature far from civilization.
We dedicate ourselves to the art of fermenting, baking our own bread in our wood-fired oven and enjoying the daily harvest in nature around our house and in our vegetable and fruit gardens. Every day is filled with work that brings us joy.
We are currently in the process of lovingly renovating and modernizing our little paradise. We are looking forward to strong and creative craftswomen & craftsmen who would like to help us with the renovation work.
Our visitors usually live in a small guest house with their own privacy and can also cool off in the natural swimming pond. We are grateful hosts who are happy to share their knowledge. Among other things about vegan nutrition, consciousness development, self-sufficiency, off-grid technology and digital working.
We are happy to meet online to get to know each other for the first time. Then, when we all feel comfortable, we can discuss everything else.
Last but not least you will find our manageable house rules here: Whoever is our guest eats vegan and does not consume drugs. We are looking forward to an inspiring time with you!

Of course, we are happy to share our knowledge, including in the areas of vegan nutrition, consciousness development, self-sufficiency, off-grid technologies and digital work.
We also get to experience that this place in the middle of unspoiled nature invites you to let go and reconnect fully with yourself and nature.
We are a happy couple, have an honest and friendly relationship and both strive for a fulfilled life.

We would like to speak better Italian soon, but quite honestly we are not the best teachers.
There is a separate guest house with a separate entrance and two private terraces. It also has its own bathroom and you always have your privacy if you want it. Of course you can use and enjoy the natural swimming pond.
For breakfast we serve fresh muesli variations. For lunch and dinner we prepare fresh meals from the ingredients of our gardens. At noon we like to eat together.
Our house is located in the middle of untouched nature. You can take wonderful walks from here and fully enjoy silence, nature and fresh air. On our fenced property you can find many private places and a natural swimming pond.
We love nature, collecting herbs, exploring the surroundings and exercising our bodies every day. Once a week we drive our car to the neighboring villages and towns to do shopping.
We prefer to stay at home and rarely visit tourist destinations even though there are countless ones nearby. To list only a few, but special: Anghiari, Arezzo, Perugia, Florence ...

We ourselves do a lot of digital work and therefore depend on a good Internet connection. It's not a high-speed connection, but so far we haven't had any outages.
We have a small campsite where a small camper can fit and in any case always a tent
