For us, food is a bridge between people, the earth and the future. With a constant commitment to the use of local products, either of our own production or from local companies, we are committed to promoting culinary experiences that nourish body, soul and planet.
Attention to sustainability is one of the fundamental values in our Agriturismo.
All the products used in our kitchens are carefully chosen to guarantee the highest quality, supporting the local economy, reducing the environmental impact and keeping the culinary traditions of Massarosa and Versilia alive and vital.
