Nature house in ancient courtyard, here you can taste the flavor of other times and in direct contact with nature. The house has belonged to my family since 1925 when my grandmother, who emigrated to Argentina, returned to Italy with her 4 children after being widowed. It is a modest but solid house leaning against a rock wall, this gives it the peculiarity of being cool in summer and warm in winter. It is located within the Stirone Creek Regional Park, a beautiful nature reserve. Spectacular hiking and mountain biking trails make it particularly interesting for enthusiasts. On your walks you may encounter roe deer, foxes, squirrels, wild boar, and different types of birds such as the bee-eater, kestrel, and barn owl that come as far as the house. Guests will be sent a google map with points of interest and tips for a stay in touch with the local culture.
