OUR PARTNERS
To offer travellers an authentic experience and to support local economy, we have involved in our project small local family-run farms, wineries, oil mills and food producers, as well as for the accommodation (hotels, farm-houses, agriturismo, b&b and apartments in the historical centre of Medieval towns) managed by local people.
We have personally inspected every accommodation, selected not only for the beauty of the place, but also for the importance given to the human qualities and care for the client.
