Casa Gentili in Avane, Italy offers a unique living experience, allowing guests to experience life as locals do. The 16th century property was once home to a family that produced pasta for over 100 years. Guests can now stay in one of two accommodations - a B&B or self-catering apartment - and immerse themselves in the surroundings through workshops or simply relaxing in the secluded garden. The goal is for travelers to slow down, fully experience the local area, and appreciate the small moments.
