Programa detallado

HI! We are Rani (dog) Agni (cat) and Francesca (me). We live in the beautiful and green Alcantara Valley, at the foot of Mamma Etna and a few steps from the river Alcantara.

I am originally from northern Italy and after graduating I traveled for a few years mainly in Asia, fascinated by the incredible culture and philosophy of those places and travelling, travelling, in 2013 I discovered Sicily, immediately falling in love with the Island and finally feeling at home.

Last year, I fulfilled my dream of living in nature by purchasing this beautiful land, full of olive trees, prickly pears and fruit trees.

Trying to live in harmony with Nature and all hers beings, listening to hers cycles, not damaging the ecosystem that surrounds us and creating the lowest possible energy impact.
