Dutch since 2000 living in Italy ranging from eternal city Rome to island life in Sardinia, Tuscan countryside and recently more against Florence. Owner VivendolaVita & SognoSardinia for 'Empowering Engaging Events' in Tuscany and Sardinia, Lifestyling & PR. Passions are traveling, horseback riding, yoga, photography, art & architecture. Consultant in Europe for SaSa Art with gallery in San Pantaleo & Florence. With a busy and vibrant life I sometimes want to withdraw and recharge energy in nature. In 2005 I therefore spontaneously bought 8 acres of land at 10 minutes from our village San Pantaleo. Over the years I have designed and built my 'Heavenly Hideaway' with architecturally daring combinations, many vintage finds and ecological materials. Since 2016 we have enjoyed ourselves with friends and family, since 2018 we also let others enjoy it when they appreciate a 'Retreat between the rocks'.

You are a nice easygoing couple and very resp...
What a great time we had in Sogno Sperduto. What a beautiful place: optimally quiet in nature! We love our own private place, and we had it now in Sardinia! And yet close to everything you could possibly need for a super holida...
Thank you Erik! With a few more detours than usual, but it was great to lend the lodge to people who appreciate nature, peace, privacy and especially safety during this period. This was Sardinia for you as we islanders experien...
