As well as running the Accommodation, they farm organically some of the fields around Decontra, in particular growing a traditional grain - farro (it).
Marisa makes her own flour as well as many jams, liqueurs and pickles.
English and French are spoken fluently.
Marisa organizes her delicious Dinner Party three times a week, or more on request.
She is a real MAGIC in the kitchen and her bubbly personality is just a bonus.
