Relaxing escape in Italy

How this holiday makes a difference

We support the local community economically by bringing our groups to medieval hilltop locations rural areas in Italy. Local businesses benefit from our visitors from local craft shops to local farmers as our visitors live alongside local people and buy from the local community. We use local houses for our accommodations, employ local people and work with the villagers in order to enhance the local economy and integrate the concept of eco-tourism into the culture of Sabina. From our profits we also support festivals and local functions yearly.

We aim to continue to promote eco tourism and protection of nature. To promote eco tourism and traditional organic methods of farming we work along side the WWF and other anti hunting organisations in protecting the Sabina mountains fauna and Flora and in the rest of Italy and world-wide as a whole. We transport guests to local nature reserves, wild streams, wild sulphur springs, mountains and woodlands, explaining to our visitors the functioning and cycle of the flora and fauna of these places.

We work alongside local people as our groups are small and have a theme of relaxation and eco tourism.

This was one of the best holidays we have had. It was lovely getting to know a group of people, it was valuable to share a holiday with people who had a common interest. Getting up early for yoga in the morning and having a lovely breakfast was wonderful (we didn't think that we could do it!). Casperia is a wonderful and amazing place to relax in. The staff were so helpful and we were allowed the freedom to be with the group or to be alone. It was truly refreshing and a wonderful experience and we do, and will, highly recommend it to others.

We thought that the holiday definitely benefited local people and the fact that the old houses were converted and made to feel VERY homely and welcoming was so much better than staying in a hotel, ethically and practically. We were pleased that we could contribute positively to the town of Casperia as tourists. We loved the local supermarket and the fact that we could walk around safely and not need to rely on public transport to find anything of interest.

A wonderful idea for a holiday. Really well organised. Totally relaxing and refreshing. Absolutely beautiful.

A big thank you to Allan, Lucy, Paolo and Jenny.
