The idea was born on a terrace in Salina, in the Aeolian Islands. Drinking a coffee and looking at the sea we thought: this place is perfect to enjoy the beauty of our country and its language.Since then we organize stays in charming and little-known places of our country during which we lead our guests to the knowledge of the language and places, flavours and aromas, local traditions and the taste of life.<\/p>\n
