I fell in love with the breathtaking views of the countryside of this authentic part of Italy.
​
I discovered the ionian sea, and the white sand beaches, protected by pine trees,  where I could be alone on the beach even in the middle of the summer, in a wild environnement, untouched.
​
I decided to build my retreat there and found a nice big land overlooking a beautiful green valley, full of olive trees and oak trees, with a breathtaking view over the old village.
​
After 2 years, the goal was achieved, the property, composed of 2 houses of 100 sqm each and a large pool of 15X3 meters surrounded by stone walls, is a little paradise... 
​
I decided I wanted to share this fantastic place with people looking for beauty, peace, and authenticity.

Then came Villa Clara, another 2 years of work to build a large villa for groups of friends or extended family. 
 
Local people are full of hospitality and love to share with visitors, since there are still few tourists in this region.
 
With just a few words of italian you will meet Vittoria, who will cook and deliver for you local dishes,
​
Nino, who will take you for a sailing trip on his boat and and look for the dolphins so you can swim with them,
​
Antonio, who will show you everything about the gardens of the properties,
​
and Maurizio, who will tell you everything about the local restaurants and wines. He may even cook a special dinner for you or organise a cooking class...
