Malga  Riondera ( 2500 feet above sea level ) is a bioagritourism structure located in an old country rural characterized by a typical stone roof of the Lessinia area and made prettier by a large meridian.
The farm is located in the centre of a large meadow surrounded by woods of conifers
with the possibility of carrying out walks on the surrounding mountains. A large nut tree offers its magical shadow in sunny days, the water comes from a spring, bees are grown up and cows are present up to the end of the summer.

The building has been completely restored recently according to of bio - building principles by using  of  eco compatible materials and paints and by realising the electrics in such a way to avoid creating harmful electrical fields. Solar panels and wood integrate the heating of hot water allowing an improved saving of energy and less impact on the environment. The rubbish is also separated. There are three rural apartments, with large kitchens where it is possible to cook in an autonomous way, each apartment  has one or  two large double beds with hammocks and a total of two, four,five beds in each room Furniture is simple and adeguate to the farm.
The apartment on the ground - floor  has three beds and is accessible to handicapped people.
When available, it is possible to use the rooms with breakfast ( bed and breakfast ).Is is possible to house groups of people who desire to spend a period at the farm for educational activities or simply to relax.
