FAQ

    • The carefree spirit and sense of joy you breathe in the air are contagious and truly engaging. Our staff is made up almost entirely of former students who have known this reality for many years. It’s not easy to describe the atmosphere that develops when you share every moment of the day together. For all of us, this is the best place to work, and we pass that same love and enthusiasm on to the young people we host.

    • For our meals, we mainly use organic food and local ingredients, including wild herbs and products from the island, to create simple and genuine dishes.
