Aliavventura Summer Camp
with Valentina and Giovanni
6
nights
A week of total immersion in the most sincere and spontaneous nature.
Aliavventura began its journey in 2013. A summer camp that brings together children aged 8 to 13 for a week of total immersion in nature. A transformative experience that weaves together unforgettable events and surprises each day.
Valentina entertains the kids with workshops and learning sessions in the gardens on traditional cultivation methods, plants, and the Mediterranean ecosystem.
The lessons encourage the children to become self-motivated, curious, and team-players while giving them concrete activities to best encourage thoughtful care of the environment.
With Aliavventura, Valentina dreams of creating strong bonds between the land, its history, and the new generations of kids, while also inspiring in them the desire to become, perhaps one day, dedicated and aware farmers of the land.

Brother and sister team Valentina and Giovanni Guccione take care of their family farm, DARA GUCCIONE BIOFARM, handed down through generations since the eighteenth century. It was Valentina who, moved by the desire to share the charm of this estate, created a unique rural hospitality system. Her offerings have nature at their core and are perfectly integrated with the farm that her brother Giovanni runs.
