Nature house is a very comfortable, low-energy ecological house built with straw, wood, and clay, and with most of the raw materials sourced in the locality. The living room is very pleasant because of the natural composition of the walls, wooden floor and roof, and furniture made from wood obtained from the result at the end of the work. No heating system is required, only three high-efficiency thermal points, fueled by local wood, mostly self-produced from continuously regenerating oak, elm and cascia. It is nestled in the typical Tuscan landscape, among woods, olive groves, vineyards and rich wildlife. It is part of a family project aimed at food and energy self-sufficiency, including food production through agricultural techniques, synergy with nature and permaculture. The land is never plowed and activities carried out by mechanical means are almost eliminated. Silence and nature dominate.

Nature and surroundings

Nature house is about 3 km from the Ponteburiano nature reserve, the old bridge depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in the landscape that serves as the backdrop for the Mona Lisa, has been crossing the river since 1277 and can be reached on foot in 20 minutes via the adjacent beautiful Piagge Valley, which is located on a distinctive Pleistocene plateau that is still intact. A little further down the Arno is the Bandella Oasis with the Hell Valley Reserve, which can be visited on foot and by boat. A few kilometers away is the Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi di Falterona e Campigna, with its ancient woods, rich in conifer and beech forests, of striking beauty. The 4 valleys in the province of Arezzo are rich in nature and history. To visit, the hermitage of Camaldoli and the sanctuary of La Verna where St. Francis lived. Strategic position to visit Arezzo 9 km, Cortona 30, Siena 48, Florence 69
