Descripción
We are Tessa (italian) and Jorge (belgian and cap-verdean), and we are launching a project on agroecology and ecotourism on the hills of Noto, Sicily. It's a wonderful place of 12 Ha, surrounded by nature, along a small wild canyon which offer several places for a refreshing bath. Our area is rich on archeological heritage and it's easy to find a byzantin cave or prehistoric burial. We have lived and worked for several years in Africa, South America and Azores, focusing on sustainable agriculture and ecotourism. We enjoy welcoming and meeting new people and sharing our life experiences.
