A small Paradise in Sardinia
The experience
I'm Costanza, I decided to find an alternative by pursuing a lifelong dream: to continue the path of my ancestors who were small landowners and took care of their land. Today, the company focuses on the cultivation of aromatic herbs, olive trees and fruit trees, and the production of eggs from free-range hens. Along with us live three donkeys, a pony, a large group of Tibetan goats and a family of 11 Romagna geese.
