There is a huge estate with farmland, horses, a donkey, sheep & dogs to explore and befriend. Please share your new found friends with others.

You will enjoy full board, created by you and your fellow AcroYogis via community cooking with local food in the villa’s kitchen with its large industrial gas oven and cooker. There is just us, so we leave our food and beverages there & come back later for a snack
Spend one free leisure day as you wish: If you can forgo the villa’s conveniences for a day you can visit Rome or the Mediterranean seaside, wander the hills of Sabina, or visit ancient Roman villas in the neighborhood, possibly guided by Luciana, one of our two wonderful hosts — you will see.

DETAILS 3: EXTRA PROGRAM AND SPECIALS, ROUND ABOUT
First evening: italian family dinner in the villa, cooked by friends of Luigi and Luciana. Motto: „More than you can eat & better than expected“ in short: „Arrive!“.
Luciana will sporadically suggest or invite you / us to trips into the region giving historical backround stories, most of them true, I believe.
Every other day Luigi and a small group of volunteers will do a regional round trip and go shopping togehter in the nearby shops, markets and supermarkets to fill our fridge with italian specialities and „regular“ food.
Everyone interested in taking over / owning the kitchen for an evening for cooking a special dish with a couple of helping hands please step forward and you will get the applause of the group.
Visit a local festivity, Porchetta for example, take a walk to Cantalupo for a treat with really good ice cream, walk through the surrounding fields to Selci, go to Luciana’s favourite restaurant — there is always a local event or sth else you can investigate and immerse into at night or during your lunch break.
