Main facilities include the Agri-garden, POKO POKO activity center, and two restaurants, OTTO SETTE NASU and SHAKI SHAKI, offering a resort stay surrounded by nature, and its uniqueness is amplified by original activities throughout the year to experience the different stages of harvest first hand.<\/p>
