In 1981 the Savini family made their dream come true and acquired the farm to grow organic produce and ethically raise livestock. In 1999, Giulia’s parents opened it officially to visitors and now their retired Giulia and her partner Robert are the face of the business.

Previous guests describe the family: “Run by Giulia and her parents, the hosts are good company and helpful but also respect their guests’ privacy.”

The Savini family do such much to reduce their impact on the environment that it’s hard to keep it short, so check out their website – https://vallenuova.it/green, but key points are:

• Valle Nuova has been a fully organic farm for over 35 years
• They produce 100% of their own electricity and even sell back to the grid
• In every aspect of their business (design, materials, insulation, shopping) they aim to be as “green” as possible, with no plastic no disposable items no single use items
• This includes no straws, no plastic glasses, no individual use toiletries, no single portion jams or butter, etc and reusable shopping bags in units
