Description
Hi there,
We are a french german couple Olivier and Barbara with our daughters Rosa (27) and Marsia (19).
Olivier is an artist researcher in cognitive science and an engineer and I am a scenographer for theater . We are living between Brussels and Paris and since last summer in the most beautiful valley Liguria in Italy!
There we found our house and a farm with land close to the mountains .
We're located just outside a village called Pratosopalacrocce, in a magical valley surrounded by rivers, pools of water with small cascades and wild horses!
All just 40 minutes from the sea - not far from **cinque terre **!
One of our projects for this summer is to develop the area around the farm with a terrace, work the land and perhaps other ideas to come with you!
