Description
This is a small family enterprise situated in the middle of nature in south Albania. We are specialized in wild herbal teas and dried fruits. We also have a garden of fruit trees and vegetables, and we apply the permaculture technique. The meals are homemade, vegetarian and completely organic. We are a team of 5. Our house receives guests from all over the world during spring, summer and autumn. We are in love with nature, respectful towards it, and we are trying to protect and enrich the biodiversity and raise an awareness in this direction. We want to create a community of people around us, that work, think and live alike.
