༄ Welcoming in the abundant arms of nature and culture travellers at least in their thirties and families with kids 7-10 yo ༄
We are Sergio, Francesca and our 8 yo daughter, part of an enlarged (by now transient) soul family commited on art, nature connection, self and community growth.
The place of this developing intentional community is a wild four hectares woodland with a nearby river, 5 km from a tiny town in "Tuscia" territory in northern Lazio, at the border with Tuscany. A magic place with neolithic sacred spots, wild animals, an olive grove, woods with a lot of biodiversity and a river at some minutes of sloping hike.
Until now we have build our house, with soil and other natural materials plus some recycle. It's made accordingly to principles of permaculture and is off-the-grid (solar electricity, wood stove, compost toilets, rainwater collecting system, phytodepuration, etc).
We have also created veggie gardens of all sorts (a lot to share in this topic too!) and now we are busy adding more beauty and facilities around, to become more and more able to host events and friends.
We are open minded, always learning and taking ecologic care in every aspect of our life.
Sergio makes extravergine olive oil, veggies, fermented food, greenwood carving, is a Wimoff practitioner, loves table tennis, literature, cinema, hiking in the woods discovering ancient caves.
Francesca enjoys basketry, natural crafts, dancing, stearing at the nature, read, experiment, connect.
Our kid is a wonderful soul, free, very generous, playful, respectful, enthusiast; she loves to cook, do art and craft, help, seeking for specific things in nature to use, role play with costumes and props and she is studying guitar, macramé, crochet, pottery, yoga... she is really happy with people around that are emotionally and playfully available for the childrens' world.
Our community is made for people cultivating some skill and art, comfortable with outdoor lifestyle, independent, energetic, on a conscious path of personal growth, playful, generous, with sense of humor and able to express fully emotions and needs and to communicate fluently in English and/or Italian.
While here we kindly ask to avoid eatin meat, and eggs only from our happy sources.
We can't host regular smokers.

Algo más...
This territory, called "Tuscia", has attracted us for its unpredictable landscape, contested between woods, rivers, lakes and small villages and sites rich of history. And although, as everywhere, modernity also risks here to pass as a standardizing roller, for those who know how to look carefully the traces of the past are still visible, thing that gives depth to our gaze and a less abstract perception of the present.
Please take the time necessary to discover this straordinary territory full of ancient history and wild nature!
We are sorrounded by woods ("Riserva Naturale Selva del Lamone") with waterfalls and pathways to Neolithic and Etruscan archeological sites (Rofalco, Castro, Vulci);
There are free thermal springs at 20 min by car and at 40 min you can reach the famous thermal pools of Saturnia and San Filippo;
There are also beatiful waterfalls (Cascata del Salabrone etc.), rivers (Fiora) and lakes (Lago di Bolsena, Lago di Mezzano).
If you are interested in little medieval towns in 20-30 minutes you can see Pitigliano, Bolsena and Sorano.
The sea! Only 30 minutes from wonderful beaches of Monte Argentario
If you look for mountains we have Monte Amiata, 50 min far.
In this area there are also interesting local tiny museums (search for "Simulabo musei").
Our town in itself it's a very small town, but nice and usually welcoming.
Means of trasport:
• By feet: you can hike in the woods, go to the river next to our land, observe yourself in peace and silence... or go to town in 40 min.
• By bycicle: you can use ours.
• By bus: from town you can take a bus and go exploring surrounding areas.
