Experiences

‍Come curious. Leave inspired.

More than a stay — a journey into the soul of a place.

In our home, experiences are not designed to impress, but to connect. We open the doors to a slower, more meaningful way of traveling — one where you don’t just visit a place, but quietly become part of its everyday rhythm. Join a local artisan in their workshop, take part in a seasonal ritual, enjoy a quiet meal prepared with stories and intention. Every moment is curated to help you feel present, inspired, and genuinely welcomed — not as a tourist, but as a guest among friends.

A morning ritual of beauty, calm, and care - Breakfast.

Breakfast here is more than a meal — it’s a quiet celebration of the new day. Served under the pergola when the weather allows, each table is prepared with handmade ceramics, fresh flowers, and local flavors gathered just hours before. Homemade jams, seasonal fruits, oven-warm pastries, and thoughtful touches come together to create an atmosphere that feels both personal and timeless. It’s a moment to slow down, to taste the region, and to begin your day with intention.

A Taste of Togetherness – Cooking Experience

Reserved exclusively for our house guests, our cooking experiences are intimate, hands-on journeys into the quiet soul of Italian food. In the glow of the kitchen hearth, you’ll work with seasonal ingredients sourced from nearby farms, learning time-honoured techniques that turn simplicity into flavour. Linen aprons, terracotta bowls, a worn wooden board—every tool has a story, every recipe a memory waiting to be shared. Together we chop, knead, and taste, then gather around the table to enjoy what we’ve created, letting conversation and laughter rise like steam from the pots. It’s not a performance, but a moment of connection—an invitation to slow down, savour the process, and carry a piece of this place home in your heart.

Retreats

Each season we open the doors to a handful of intimate retreats—no fixed calendar, only moments when the land, the light, and the people feel ready to share their best stories. Guided by those who call this place home, you’ll slip past the tourist map and into private kitchens, artisan workshops, and hidden trattorie where tables are laid for friends, not strangers. One day you might knead dough beside a potter’s kiln, listening to a craft passed down through quiet decades; the next, you’ll taste forgotten recipes in a countryside farmhouse while dusk settles outside the window. These gatherings are small, personal, and ever-changing, designed so that every gesture, flavour, and tale leads you deeper into the secret pulse of the region—until, for a brief, luminous while, you feel the place itself welcoming you as part of its own story.
