  Description

  I am Eliana, I'm a photographer whose love for nature led me to leave the city and live in the tranquility of the countryside next to the sea in the beautiful Italian Riviera.
  After living and traveling across Europe for many years I decided it was time to bring to life my dream. My daughter (Irene, 21 yrs old) and I began and wish to create a place whereby everybody is welcomed to express their passions surrounded by animals and trees (1.5 acres of land).
  The aim of our ecological and artistic association is to organize all sorts of activities: pet therapy, photography/ cooking/music/ painting classes, yoga, etc. We are a veggie family and we grow (and we can teach how-to). The most important thing is that anybody is open to share and learn new talents with the community! In exchange for your help in building our dream, we offer you accommodation, veggie food that we can cook together or you can cook yourself in the restaurant-style kitchen.
  
  Our "tribe/ tribù", as we call it, consists of two donkeys (Thelma and Louise), a chick (Frida), 10 rabbits (Mr. Potter & co), two dogs (Bonnie & Filippo), and a cat (Nina).
  
  Our villa is divided into four parts: the first floor (where you will be staying) consists of a restaurant-style kitchen, an atelier, a bar, a pizza-hoven, a living room with 4 sofa beds, a reading area, a 200m2 room with a small stage (where anybody can organize all sort of classes/ shows/ activities), two bathrooms and a storage. On the second floor there is the main apartment with the kitchen, two bedrooms, a studio, a large living room, and a bathroom, adjacent to it there is a studio that we are planning on renting online. Then, there is a warehouse with a barn.
  
  We are still in progress and we need help from open-minded, nature, and animal lovers!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We offer an exchange of knowledge and skills in the realm of Photography, Painting, and all sorts of arts. In addition, both my daughter and I speak different languages that we are happy to share with you. We will also teach you how to love and take care of different sorts of animals.
  We grow our own vegetables and we can show you how and/or listen to your experience. In autumn we also go hunting for mushrooms in the woods that surround us! We try to mix traditional Italian cuisine with receipts and ingredients that pertain to different countries.
  You can also reach the beach and do all sorts of activities or go on Trekking adventures (many options with lakes/rivers and waterfalls) across this beautiful area.
  But, once again, you are open to share all your creativity and give birth to your own projects!
  p.s We may also need you to take care of the property & animals if we are traveling.
