On Valle Falconera, guests will find a pastel-colored farmhouse. The home's host, Anna Sarzetto, runs the rental spot and surrounding farm with her boyfriend, sister, mother, and father.

The farmhouse belongs to Sarzetto's grandmother, and it holds many memories for the family.

"[My father] dedicates all his time and effort here, and he transmitted this love to me," Sarzetto told Insider.

Sarzetto said the family uses the money they get from rentals to pay for barriers that protect the small island from high tides.

"Everyone staying here is helping to save the island," Sarzetto said.

The Sarzettos recently started a farm on the island to help promote local products. They grow artichokes and tomatoes and cultivate honey, fish, and oysters.

During their stay, guests can gather around the home's welcoming dining table to enjoy fresh, farm-to-table food.
