Finally, I was able to stay with my partner at La Fattoria di Nonna Eugenia, a property that had intrigued me for some time but was always fully booked. Three nights of complete and peaceful rest, upon waking up we were super served and pampered by Massimiliano. Every morning we were greeted with abundant breakfasts rich in fruit, brioche, plain and filled focaccia, jams and butter to spread on toast, fruit juice, cappuccino, and coffee in a glass-walled kitchen, immersed in the surrounding greenery. Despite it being May, we could admire the floating banana leaves in contrast with the snow-capped Apennines. Guests can enjoy hammocks with bright colors dominating a terraced hillside with olive trees, mimosa, agaves, aloe, fruit plants, and assorted flowers. The spirit flies free, pushed by a brisk breeze, and the soul fills with serenity. Wooden tables and benches are available outdoors for meals, even barbecue dinners thanks to the barbecue provided. Breakfast can also be enjoyed outside, under the pergola, served by Massimiliano. There is a sense of freedom in the air as you gaze at the vegetation-rich hills and the intense blue sky, with or without its white fluffy clouds that carry your thoughts away. You feel at one with nature, surrounded by plants of various species, colors, sizes, and scents. Orange flowers bloom, spreading an aroma that sweetens every heart. In short, when you feel the need to be part of an impressionist painting, touch the sky with a finger, while your feet root down on this wonderful land, all you have to do is come here and surrender. And then rediscover yourself as richer, more joyful, a unity of spirit and body, simply thanks to this special natural oasis. The passion for nature is perceived in every corner of this house that you feel you belong to, even if it's your first time staying there. Everything is in harmony between inside and outside. It's a bit like reading between the lines, a story with a happy ending, where the harmony between Massimiliano, Marisol, and Maya oozes from every brick, step, door, window, wall, and then insinuates itself into the surrounding ground, shaping every colorful flower that spreads its aroma all around.
