Our trullo is situated in our small organic subsistence farm, which includes a vineyard, a vegetable garden, fruit trees, a shared swimming pool, archery facilities and a trampoline, as well as chicken, cats and a dog. Electricity is powered by solar panels.

We are an international family that has decided to settle down in Southern Italy after having lived on three continents. I am an archaeologist a passionate cook. My husband Manoocher is a photojournalist who has worked around the globe and continues to work for international magazines and to share his work and life experience.
