Lucia R.

Hello,

I am Lucia and with my husband I run the Alchimissa B&B, http://www.alchimissa.it/Index%20Inglese.htm , . I also come from Piedmont, I was born in Stresa near Lake Maggiore, but spent most of my life in the area of Brianza, near Milan.

Even as a child I always wanted to travel and discover the world. For this reason I studied languages and other cultures. Brianza was always too small for me, especially when the natural environment vanished to make way to new buildings and when, finally, the last fields and woods were replaced by roads and industrial warehouses.

As time passed, the call of the wild became too strong for us so we decided to move to this magical island and start a new life. My greatest passion is gardening, I love taking care of my plants, flowers and love the feeling of peace and love stemming from it. To give shape and colour to our garden, neglected for the last 20 years, was for me a great project that is still ongoing. The idea underlying all is to create different corners, one for each sense: a view of the blue sea to rest tired eyes, the scent of lavender and herbs, the singing of birds attracted by flowers and berries... A little Eden. http://www.alchimissa.it/Giardino%20Inglese.htm

I am a nature-path and great supporter of a lifestyle as close as possible to human nature, where quality triumphs over quantity and where human conscience can evolve to higher levels.
