We spent one month with Christian and Daniela at their beautiful farmhouse. We absolutely enjoyed our time with them.
The work ranged from mixing cement, to caring for the animals, to working with clay.
They both have a wonderful knack for cooking! We enjoyed every meal they prepared for us!
Thank you so much and best wishes,
