At the sane time, we mat share family Life between "Foreste Casentinesi" and Florence, Italy
We are Iole and Bruno, husband and wife, living in a house, 40 minuts from our fields and 25 from the capital of Tuscany.
We wish to create, together with warkawayers, a place where many cultural exchanges take place between us and them
People that will be hosted in our house may share family life wuth us and taste Tuscan cooking and some products of our fields.
