STELLA OROBICA, LOMBARDY


This mountain farm that is also an agritourism, brings the values and traditions of the hearth and the manual works. Young and dynamic, it heads an ancient and poor craft that belongs to the circle of life



We are set in Valtellina, where we as family are living and educating ourselves in respect of the principle of sharing and sustainability. We are glad to help travellers to rediscover an attitude for life that brings tastes, scents that in our society are vanishing. Every member of our family is the secret of our business.




Flavio is the one who is responsible for all that involves practical activities; Elisabeth, who is from Swiss origin, is the soul of the house.
Their two sons are working in different fields: Giuliano is the brain that has implemented numerous projects and Luca is the master of cheese, expertise that he has learned as self-taught with extraordinary results.



From our beloved vegetables garden, that is grown by experienced hands, we are able to provide most of the vegetables we are cooking at the agriturism. But when the production goes beyond our expectations, we do as grandma taught us: we turn all into conserves and purees and we do the same both for fruits and wild fruits. Meat is, of course, handled with the same care.



Since a couple of years, we are planting corn to get flour and soon we will also have wheat to produce bread and polenta. 
In cooperation with others tiny enterprises, we care about both vegetables garden and little fruits to get extraordinary final products: organic and high quality.
Every day we try to preserve and to improve the environment the area and the biodiversity that surrounds us.
