There are many special reasons for a trip to the upper Val di Vara, the green heart of the La Spezia territory, which has obtained the hallmark of the valley of organic production: the first in Italy to understand the value of nature and naturalness.

It offers you a chance to relax and merge into the green spirit of the valley for the eco-sustainable management of the territory.

It is inevitable for anyone searching for natural flavors to stop at Varese Ligure and to visit the Borgo Rotondo, conceived in the middle ages as a defense system.

For its typology, the borgo recalls the structure of other medieval dwelling nuclei in the area, gathered around a square surrounded by porticos, under which the stores were.

For gourmets, the area is paradise. the meat and the milk are certified with an organic hallmark. there are many dishes, done with the few available ingredients from pansori with walnut sauce to tagliatelle with mushroom tomato sauce and zimino chickpea.

Brunch includes a hot beverage between tea, coffee, milk, cappuccino, caffe latte, americano, homemade yogurt, in-house honey and jam, bread, homemade cake or pie, eggs, cheese, seasonal fruits, and homemade torta salata.

Dinner includes starters, first course, second course, seasonal vegetable side dish, dessert, and water. Since this is an agriturismo-farm, we want to respect nature and its natural cycles. For this reason, most of the ingredients used are self-produced or coming from the organic valley of Varese Ligure. So you can expect to have fresh and organic meals but not everything, every day. Upon request, we will also prepare vegetarian and gluten-free meals.

Agriturismo l'Origano is not just a yoga retreat destination, it is primarily a small organic farm located in the Vara Valley, also known as the Organic Valley. They produce mainly for their own use and for the restaurant, usually have some extra production for sale.

Given the peculiar vocation for organic production in the area, they strongly suggest you to visit the local agrarian consortium. It opens from Monday to Saturday (8:30 - 13:00 and 15:30 - 19:00) and Sunday from 15:30. From there, you can find and try most of the organic products of the valley, like cheese, wines, pasta, jellies, and yogurt.

Hiking fans can also find some suggestive tracks to follow all around. Upon the previous request, Yoga and relax in Agriturismo can organize enjoyable hikes with a local guide.
