Description
We are located a few kilometers from Genoa and the sea in a beautiful valley.
A few years ago we created an association where people who love the experience of living with nature.
We have created many small vegetable gardens where people can grow on their own, we keep the mountain paths clean and above all we organize parties, excursions and workshops open to all.
In the summer we host artists for short periods of residency.
This year we are carrying out a project to put a piano in our forest and offer the possibility of playing among the trees.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our house is in an isolated area by a little river , but nevertheless close to the city.
We love our life immersed in nature and are happy to share it with whoever comes here.
We are a family of artisans who love to work and build things with our hands. We often have, together with our garden work and animal care, building projects around our house and yard, and in springtime we often organize workshops where we teach natural tinting of cloth, soap-making and traditional cooking.
We very much enjoy music and have a guitar for anyone who wishes to play.

Help
There are many different things to do with us: the vegetable garden, small maintenance jobs, our sweet donkeys. With spring we start many workshops for children and families, excursions and parties, we welcome schools who want to visit a farm.
In the summer we host artists in residence who come to us to create works related to nature and we will need a hand to help them during their stay.
For our piano project in the woods we will have to set up the space and promote it on social media and any help will be welcome!

What else ...
In your free time it is easy to reach the city or the beaches, or you can simply hike in the woods or swim in the river.
The bus stop is only 15 minutes from our house. In a few minutes you can arrive in Pegli and from there in 20 min. in the city center or on the beach.
Genova is a beautiful and lively city where one can visit the old city center, the museums, and easily find a variety of interesting things to do.
The beaches of the Riviera arevery good and you can visit many traditional villages.
The presence of the artists makes the stay very stimulating. Sometimes they organize workshops to share their skills that you can join.
