The answer led to the complete restructuring of the farmhouse with only natural materials in 2017\/2018, to the introduction of vegan cuisine and slow travel.<\/p>\n<h3><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-44376 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio.jpg\" alt=\"agrivilla i pini\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio-536x302.jpg 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio-570x320.jpg 570w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/agriturismo-bio-344x194.jpg 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>What sustainable practices have you adopted?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Restructuring with only <strong>natural materials<\/strong> with a mixture of clay, hemp, and rice husk<\/li>\n<li>Organic and vegan seed to table Cuisine<\/li>\n<li>High quality, handmade items: refurbished vintage furniture, terracotta tiles, hand-sewn linens<\/li>\n<li>Natural and veganic Agriculture<\/li>\n<li>No-till farming<\/li>\n<li>Work according to the cycles of the seasons and the moon<\/li>\n<li>HORTUS quality seal, which reflects our values towards protecting the integrity of our natural environment and culture.
