You may actively take part in sourcing food as part of your experience believing in a holistic approach from start to finish – from visiting the local Shephard to collect pecorino and ricotta to foraging for whatever maybe in season – as and when you can join in to the preparation of the meal as part of the beauty and essence of Italian conviviality….and someone is always welcome to water the tomatoes at the end of a hot summer day.
