The experience

Our farmhouse is in the middle of a food-forest, not far from lake of Bolsena. we crop whatever is available (grapes, fruits, olives, many wild plats, mushroom, wood, etc). we do yoga 2/3 times a week and listen to a lot of music. we like to play pool table and cards game. We enjoy a natural swimming pool. Looking after goose, chicken and our 2 dogs. We live trying to consume as less energy as we can, enjoy local products and local people.
