The Sabine Retreat, a beautiful out of town property managed by the host Francesco, he is passionate about permaculture, gave many great insights into history of the region and has strong goals to create a equal, friendly and educational environment. I particularly enjoyed learning about all the wild herbs that grow on his property, cooking together and having great conversations around meal times. I only wish I could have changed my flight to extended my stay, as it was such a rewarding experience of Italian culture and conscious living, making positive choices for my health.

Host seems to be nice and friendly but really busy in his affair or mind. Breakfast can be improved, working hours should be' respected, even more if you are sick and need to rest (taking medicine and went to doctor). I slept with no pillow or bedsheets, breakfast was just coffee, kitchen and other places was really dirty, fine the first 4 data i did way more hours, i slept in a camper van with rain that drop on me, then in a outside room with o eletricity. Host tenta rooms to questionable people and dont properly adress their behaviour. Avoid this

Hello Bruno i m sorry you feel unconfortable but at beginning you decide to sleep in a campervan when drops of water falled on you i give you a little house where to sleep . You was not able to organize a bit the room in the house i sayd you can take what you need, just ask. After i take you to the doctor becouse you was ill. You said is just psioriasi but your hands were red and swollen and your nails were brown. Practly you was not able to work and need to rest and cure you.
