Description
We are an Italian family of four (two children of 11 and 8 years) living on the beautiful island of Gran Canaria, after living 3 years and half in Gozo (Malta). Here in Gran Canaria we enjoy the good weather and the sun staying outside all day long, enjoying the sea, the mountain, the hills and all the good things this island can offer.
We are developing a self-sufficient project in the finca where we recently moved in. We need help especially with plants and land management.

I really enjoyed my stay with the family. They were great about including me in their plans and showing me around the Island. There was a good balance of work and free time. I also know a lot more about authentic Italian Pizza. (I'm so sorry I completely forgot to review earlier).
