     We are an agricultural company which in the summer is a farm offering the opportunity to dine outdoors in the woods. We do not offer overnight stays, but we have affiliated landlords. In addition, as you will see from the site, we take care of teaching, excursions and care of the territory, as well as clearly producing excellent chestnut flour and goat's and pecorino [sheep] cheeses.
