WHO WE ARE
The farm Pachamama is located at the TEPOLINO farm in Castel del Piano (Grosseto) and follows the principles of Permaculture. The Tepolino Farm (about 11 hectares at 500 meters above sea level) is located a few kilometers away from Castel del Piano. The village is five minutes away by car, or on foot, about half an hour.
There are two houses at the end of a driveway in a rare oasis of peace, silence, serenity, meditation and space, without neighbors in the immediate vicinity. If you look no further, the only risk is to see a deer, a boar, a badger, a weasel, a fox, a porcupine, a heron ... or other similar residents with permanent rights. The area is dominated to the east by the sacred mountain of the Etruscans: Mount Amiata (1700 m), the extinct volcano that stands imposing and protective in all its beauty. It is home - among others – to one of the largest beech forests in Europe. On the west there is a spectacular view over the Orcia valley. To the north there is a wonderful forest of chestnut trees and large boulders that inspired intriguing fantasies. To the south, there is Castel del Piano, Monte Giovi and Mount Laterone.
Pollution from artificial light is minimal, which allows very good contemplation of the starry night, disturbed only by the croaking of frogs and fireflies. Tepolino Farm offers several walks, including excursions of a naturalistic or historic interest, as well as oeno-gastronomic tourism.
