Nature house is a very comfortable, low-energy ecological house built with straw, wood, and clay, and with most of the raw materials sourced in the locality. The living room is very pleasant because of the natural composition of the walls, wooden floor and roof, and furniture made from wood obtained from the result at the end of the work. No heating system is required, only three high-efficiency thermal points, fueled by local wood, mostly self-produced from continuously regenerating oak, elm and cascia. It is nestled in the typical Tuscan landscape, among woods, olive groves, vineyards and rich wildlife. It is part of a family project aimed at food and energy self-sufficiency, including food production through agricultural techniques, synergy with nature and permaculture. The land is never plowed and activities carried out by mechanical means are almost eliminated. Silence and nature dominate.

A little further down the Arno is the Bandella Oasis with the Hell Valley Reserve, which can be visited on foot and by boat. A few kilometers away is the Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi di Falterona e Campigna, with its ancient woods, rich in conifer and beech forests, of striking beauty.
