Cascina Siè is a small intentional community composed of 6 family units. It is located on the hill of Turin, in the hamlet of Reaglie, surrounded by greenery but a few minutes from the city center. Composed of 11 adults and 13 children, 2 dogs, 5 cats and soon some chickens will arrive in addition to the numerous dormice that brighten the nights (not to mention wild boars, roe deer and badgers that wander around)!

In addition to the apartments, they have created a shared kitchen/multipurpose room, a children’s play area inside and then there is a shed open on 2 sides with a wood-fired oven and a warehouse to fix up. The house is an old horseshoe-shaped farmhouse surrounded by more than 8 hectares of woods, from which you can occasionally see wild boars, foxes, roe deer and many songbirds emerge. In a part of the woods, very close to the house, they have created about 40 square meters of vegetable garden.
