    Description

    I’ve been traveling a lot myself, I lived in London, NY and Florida, other that Milan, Berlin, and traveled Africa and Europe ... I worked always as Restorateur and Photographer. Since I got back to Italy we started ,around 2015, to follow more and more the vineyards : I wanted to start making Wines from our great vineyard.
    So we ‘ll be able to share knowledge about Wine, Bio Agriculture and Viticulture, sustainable agriculture, restaurants, music, travels, literature, design, architecture, photography, cinema ....
    I’m father of two kids, born in 2015 and 2020, sharing my life with my lady which is a tailor.

    My father, the owner of the house, has a Yoga group of practice since 1970, he’s a person very interested in Human Evolution, in Spiritual and Philosophical way and all the authentic ways to achieve and share the best human knowledges.
    We are very open to collaborations for Wine, Food, Arts, Music, Yoga, Architecture, and many other things that make the world a great place to live in.

    We are building DIY parts of the old house like, windows, terrace stairs, fixing garden, .. than we are planning to start building DIY small houses in the bush near the house ... we have a 1,5 Hectar of wild bush next to the vineyards, and we’d love to have some wooden structures there to spend some time in.
    Useful people are those who know how to deal with Wood, craftsmanship, wooden structures, gardens, and such things are super helpful.

    We have a old burn next to the house, that in the future we would like to rebuilt, so if there’s any expert in real wood houses and wood building, it would be nice to talk of building possibilities.

    Accommodation

    We have a Country House , in Fittà, in the Hills of Soave Area, 350 meters above sea level, immersed in the needle of vineyards.
    The house is an old house, a little refined, but needs more work to build other parts.
    There are 3 clean rooms , provided with beds and light.
    There is a Kitchen, a big salone, two smaller dining rooms, a bathroom with shower.

    We usually can go shopping together, and than everyone cooks for his own.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Fittà, is a very small bunch of houses, with very poor services (no supermarket, no bar) , the road to Soave is 5 to 8 Km up and downs from the hills. No public transportation is given, unfortunately people depend on their cars here.
    So it’s better to have a car to be independent.
    In the near by you can visit many Wineries, vineyards, nice walks in the vineyards. You can closely reach Lessinia, the nearby mountains (until 1200 meters heiight).
    You can visit Soave 5 km away, Vicenza is 30 Km away. Verona is 30 KM away too. Garda lake is 50 km away.
    There are many small nice villages around Fittà, and Soave.
