Biodiversity

The farmhouse “La Malcontenta e il Lupo” is located on a property of about 15 hectares, here there is also the organic farm that produces extra virgin olive oil and truffles.
There are several environments that make up the farm: beyond the olive grove and the truffle ground, there are woods left to their natural evolution, rare environments because they are not subjected to the intervention of man, and thus favour
biodiversity.
The special attention to habitat conservation has made possible the existence of many species of wild orchids. Any part of the property, both productive and non-productive, is subject to constant control, and its appearance, sometimes "wild", is the result of a conservation program that promotes biodiversity and the development of the animal species present.

Buzzard (Buteo buteo), brown kite (Milvus migrans), owl (Athene noctua), barn owl (Tyto alba), tawny owl (Strix aluco), wild boar (Sus scrofa), porcupine (Hystrix cristata), badger (Meles meles), stone marten (Martes foina), marten (Martes martes), hare (Lepus europaeus), fox (Vulpes vulpes) and who knows ... maybe finally also the wolf (Canis lupus), are just some of the species that live in this area.

Animals are elusive by nature, and it is difficult to see them, but they are present in the surroundings of the “casale”. Silent and cautious, it is more often they observe us than vice versa. We must never approach them, but respect them in their environment.

La Malcontenta e il Lupo” is born to appreciate nature and the animal world and to learn to know them. It is a stay in nature and a suspension of time.
