This year we all need to think a little bit “out of the box” … and that’s how we’re fantasizing about all kinds of new projects in collaboration with the local artists of Teatro Cantiere.
One of the ideas that came up during a brainstorm is a romantic apericena with serenade at our StarsBOX. Yesterday we tested it with the people of Guida Torino (an FB page with 165,000 followers) and they were over the moon.

Because there is a river in the valley, there is a high level of humidity that manifests itself in mist, which can sometimes linger until 10:00 - 11:00 in the morning. We are lucky that it usually does not reach as high as our house, with the result that the sun is already shining when we get up, but in the village they have no idea whether it will be a sunny or cloudy day. Thanks to Nicolas, they now have a walking weatherman who informs them about the weather forecast for that day ... See MoreSee Less
