    PLEASE DO NO ASK US FOR SET THE RESIDENCE FOR ADQUIRING THE CITIZENSHIP.

    We are a small cooperative run by Giulia (italian) and Maxi (argentinian) Three years ago we bought an old house next to Demonte that we are fixing, and we are living with dogs, cats and hens. We are involved in a community work, dedicating to bio-agriculture and agro-ecology. We are managing a small restaurant in Pontebernardo 20 m north from Demonte, in the high Stura Valley. We organize classes and workshops on felt, foraging. We've been volunteer in various occasions and we know that can be a unique opportunity. We'd like to host one person who can help us taking care of my daughter Maite (12) when we are working at the restaurant, who wants to experiencing the daily rushing country life helping with herbs and vegetables in our house's garden etc. The place is really nice, up on the mountain, 900-1000 mt, in the Occitan valley not far from France and in summer till October is full of sagre concerts trekking and so on all around moreover the numerous sports to practice (rafting, riding, hiking, biking and a lots of others ing). English, Spanish and Italian spoken. For any question please just e mail us!
