I met Maurizio & Isabella a year ago and spent a week full of new experiences. They made me feel at home right away. Maurizio's knowledge of gardening and permaculture are truly exceptional. He invented a particular terracing system, automated a drop by drop irrigation and till these days shows an acute attention to the choice of plant species.… read more
