  Beschreibung

  Two years ago we (Francesca and Tass) fell in love with a beautiful old stone "casale" in Tuscany and after years of just dreaming about it we are now moving the first steps towards the realization of our project: A place for communal living and exchange in harmony with nature.
  
  We have a lot of ideas for future projects and activities which can be developed in the place, such as bread baking, pottery, having jam sessions or hosting occasional concerts, cultural events or workshops…
  
  However at the moment our focus is more on renovation of the house and organization of the garden space.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You will spend some time in a beautifully isolated house in nature. Here you can see how people used to build houses in the old days. You can make bread or pizza in an original old pizza oven made of clay bricks.
  
  You can go on hikes through the surrounding forests or take day trips to ancient medieval Tuscan villages in the area (Volterra, Querceto, etc.). Volterra in particular has an original art scene that you shouldn't miss!
  
  … or go to the sea, which is half an hour away
  or simply just take a little swim in the small river at the edge of our garden! ;)
  
  In the evenings we occasionally have a little campfire and chat or play music or jam (there are some instruments there, bring yours too!;)

  Unterkunft

  Accommodation is either in the house, there are 2 beds, but as said: the house is currently being renovated, so sleeping space is limited and there is an outdoor shower and compost toilets available around the house and no hot water (yet).
  
  Alternatively you can sleep in tents or hammocks around the house in the garden.
  We have one air mattress and two tents and sleeping bags that you can use but if you have your own, please bring them!
  
  We will share lunch and dinner as a moment to get together, we will take turns to prepare the meals (mostly vegetarian) and share tasks in the kitchen.

  Was noch ...

  The public transport to the house is a local bus from Cecina to the closest village Ponteginori.
  From there it’s a 40 minutes walk to our place or we can arrange to pick you up
  
  We dont have internet (yet). In april we will try put antennas but we dont know if that will all work out so smoothly, lets see ;)
  Phone signal is also bad around the house, mostly we need to walk like 10-15 min for calls
