Our Community

Welcome to our village community located in an area of outstanding beauty with rolling hills, lush forests and natural clear spring water. Our village community is composed of a diverse group of individuals from different nationalities, who have made a conscious decision to relocate to this remote location to embrace a more communal and peaceful way of life.

Our community members live in close proximity in a rural area around the village of Castell’Azzara, Tuscany, which offers an idyllic setting that embodies the essence of Italian culture and tradition. Being a former mining village, it is characterised by a small population, limited infrastructure, and strong social bonds.

Our community members share a common passion for nature, self-sufficiency, personal growth, and the desire to live in harmony with the environment. We are excited to embark on this new journey together, to build a supportive and vibrant community.

About Us

"We came for the hills and the silence. We stayed for the bread, the neighbours, and the slow afternoons."
