The agritourism is located in an old farmhouse of 1832 in Costa Lorenzo of Torre Pellice, in the heart of the Waldensian valleys, at an altitude of 750 m, surrounded by chestnut woods. It is precisely the production of chestnuts that characterizes the farm, certified organic since 1999; beside it, the production of berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currant), mountain potatoes and vegetables in general. The presence of bees in summertime ensures a good pollination to fruit trees and allows an excellent production of chestnut honey and linden trees (Tilia).
