How did Arpa di Pietra come to life?
Arpa di Pietra was born from a passion for nature, wellness, and the enhancement of the local territory. The name evokes harmony between humans and the environment, inspired by the traditional dry-stone terraces of Val di Gresta, which a local historian compared to the strings of a harp. The project was created to offer guests a place to immerse themselves in a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere, closely connected to nature and the rhythms of rural life.
