What you'll do
The experience takes place on my farm, Kalat Scibet, where you will be beguiled by the perfume of lavender, sage, rosemary and thyme, and charmed by the sight of diminutive donkeys.
Upon arrival, you are met by Stefania, the farm owner, and Gianluca, a trained archaeologist. After a snack of homegrown foods, let's start the experience!
In the course of the visit, you will know the donkeys and their behaviour, and they will accompany you to the path of perfumes, where you will pick aromatic plants learning how to use them in Mediterranean cuisine and as natural remedies.
Finally you are told how to make natural cosmetics from donkey milk and aromatic plants, and you will make your own scented bag.
If so inclined, you can also buy farm products such as olive oil or natural cosmetics.
Other things to note
Gli asini e l'aperta campagna sono i protagonisti della nostra esperienza, per cui, la giornata non è consigliata a persone che abbiano allergie a pollini e peli di animali.

I love traveling, listening to music, doing sports, canoeing, the sea and the mountains.
First as a FISE horse-riding instructor and then as a certified AIGAE guide, I have had a great deal to do with tourists. For many years, I have been also a farmer and bred a protected species of small-sized Sicilian donkeys.
