Description
We are in the heart of Sicily, close to the Tholos della Gurfa. Olive trees, almond trees, and various fruits surround our house, near the organic garden. Our countryside is not far from the village of Alia, and 70 km from Palermo. Antonino and my 12-year-old sons Gabriele and 18-year-old Luca live in our house, from which you can enjoy a suggestive landscape. Donkeys, dogs and cats keep us company. We are starting to plant a forest on our hill: you can participate and you can learn how to prune trees. We often cook fire-fired pizza with organic flour, we produce tomato and fruit preserves, liqueurs, essential oils and particularly fine olive oil: you can participate with your help and in the meantime you learn Italian and we your language.
