Home Cooking
We believe that food is medicine, cooking is an art and sharing a meal is an expression of love. As enthusiastic foodies we want to share our passion for delicious, healthy feasts using local, seasonal produce. Our cozy home restaurant provides honest and tasty nourishment to support your week.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are served daily on our veranda. All meals are vegetarian and will include a wide variety of cuisines, ranging from traditional Italian flavors to spiced Asian fusion. You can expect a table full of healthy, hearty dishes prepared with love. We appreciate all sweet things in life, so don’t worry, there will be dessert. You can happily indulge in our homemade ice-cream and raw cacao treats :)
Please let us know in advance if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies/intolerances so that we can do our best to accommodate your needs in the most delicious way possible.
​
We are also delighted to share a cooking workshop and nutrition talks. If you would like some more personal attention, a one-on-one session can be arranged.
Local Dining
There will be several opportunities for you to try local Italian cooking. If you decide to go swimming at Lake Bracciano there are some lovely restaurants by the water. And to end our week together we will have a typical Italian pranzo at La Sorgente, an organic agriturismo down the road from our house. For a sneak peek click below:

The Lake
Hiking
Workshops
No relaxation holiday is complete without a good massage! Let us pamper you with a deep tissue massage using local olive oil or a foot reflexology under the trees.
Lago di Bracciano is only a 20minute drive away from our house, so you can spend a tranquil day swimming and sunbathing. A sun-bed costs around 5euro/day and if you're feeling active you can even rent a little boat or SUP board to explore the lake. There are a variety of restaurants and a lovely walkway by the water.
Our mission during the Elemental Retreats is to bring you closer to nature. So we include this beautiful hike as part of your experience. We will wander through forest, clamber over rocks, use a rope to cross the river and end at a serene waterfall. The walk takes about 3 hours to complete, if you wish to join please make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes.
We want to offer you as much as we can! Marti is always enthusiastic to share a Cooking Workshop and there will be an Elemental Workshop at the end of the week. But we like to keep some things a mystery, so be prepared for some self-development surprises and magical ceremonies!
