My experience at the projectwas truly memorable and unlike anything I've had before. Staying in the charming village of Fontecchio, you're bound to make meaningful connections and meet people with fascinating stories. What stood out most to me was the slower, more intentional pace of life and the genuine warmth of the locals—their openness and willingness to help was a refreshing contrast to the bustle of cities like Milan. Giada and Marifi are incredibly generous hosts who manage everything with care and professionalism. Thank you for such a wonderful and enriching stay

Beautiful place to reconnect with nature and immerse yourself in the local life. It is nestled in the hills and so peaceful in a off grid - non touristy area. Nice hiking trails around. Giada was very kind and and always made sure I was comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer to experience more of it!

I had such a lovely experience atthe project!! Giadia was super welcoming and gave me plenty of time to explore the property and the local area. the projectis a very beautiful place with lots of art and incorporates itself with nature in a very sustainable way. Fontecchio is absolutely stunning and the surrounding nature is very healing. Everyone I met atthe project (even the cats:) was so fun and took me in like family. Wish I could have stayed for longer!! Thank you for everything and I hope to be back <3

We have no complaints. We left with many unique memories and inside jokes, and learned a lot aboutthe project, art and ourselves. Every day was unpredictable because there was always someone suggesting something random, like a punk festival in the middle of the day or a 3 hour karaté lesson. We loved the hosts instantly. Beautiful, loving and helpful people. The cats and bugs (and bugsy) kept us company. We played music, cooked, talked, and when we worked, everything was so pleasant that it hardly felt like work. Thank you for everything, speriamo che ogni giorno sia un bon Jovi ❤️❤️❤️

The project is made up by wonderful and powerful people, artists most of them who are always able to establish bonds of solidarity.
