It is located in a quiet area of Suceava, that is the main city of Romanian Bukovina province and is run by members of Artfest Cultural Association (NGO) and Zidul de Hartie art group. It also works as cultural hub for local artists and writers and for small summer art projects and concerts. It is still a rustique place, near a forest. In the big garden there are growing all kind of fruit and forest trees. In the middle of it there is a lake where you can relax, work or get in touch with nature.
