Hi! My name is Paolo, but my friends call me Paul.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to live in nature. As a child, I spent summers at my grandparents’ home in the countryside. I still remember with nostalgia the endless afternoons spent running alongside my grandfather in the woods, or following him as he performed daily field chores.
With my wife, we looked long and hard for a place in nature which could become not only our home but a meeting place, where we could produce our own food and have enough space to hold courses and offer yoga seminars.
From the first time we visited Magnano, we knew that we could stop looking. These hills, the nearby Bose monastic community, and the picturesque Roman church make this a unique location within the Biellese landscape and far beyond.
Home Anahata, the place in our heart
An important first step was taken with the creation of Home Anahata, our home and a place we hold dear.
Here I started a vegetable garden following the principles of synergistic farming and now cultivate land that had been abandoned for years. We have a chicken coop and our trees are producing their first fruits.
What had been an old hayloft has become the “Hay House”, a space dedicated to meditation and yoga.
And in the woods, we’ve set up a magnificent yurt, an intimate place where we listen to our inner voice.
The establishment of the Bed & Breakfast Home
Once our life project was initiated with the completion of our main home, the logical next step was to share this beautiful place with others, creating a space dedicated to welcoming our friends. Following a series of fortunate events, we were able to renovate the old farmhouse located right next to ours, in a sustainable way, and to integrate ourselves into the local community.
Now you too can share our dream of living in a house immersed in nature… while taking the time needed to recreate a sense of balance for yourself.
