Description
We (Maria and Christoph) moved from Vienna to Italy to get out of the city and produce our own food, contain a self-sufficient and nature-based life. We live in an italian country house located on the edge of a nature reserve with farmland and big garden, olive and fruit trees, wineyard, chicken, forests and three cheeky cats. Our goal is the constant learning process and experimentation of organic farming methods. This year we were joined by our beloved litte baby boy Nathan, so we apreciate help around the house and in daily life as well as outsides.

What else ...
What else?
The site is surrounded by several hiking trails into the Cesane Mountains, as well as cornfields and vineyards on green hills and densely wooded mountain ranges. Not far from the Renaissance city of Urbino, between the Cesane Mountains and the Metauro River, in the middle of a valley, our house has been inhabited and cultivated from the Middle Ages until modern times.
Rediscovered almost 20 years ago, my mother lovingly rebuilt it. There are many beautiful places to climb, swim, hike, etc. in the area. -
