Description
Our family lives on a small self-catering farm in a 600 year old farmhouse in the middle of the green mountains of Tuscany. We live from the organic cultivation of fruit, vegetables and flowers. With us you live together with the family, we do tasks, cook and eat together but in the great forests and at the wild, cool streams with bathing places you will always find time for yourself. We live in a natural, wild, remote place that is good for getting in touch with nature.
