  Beschreibung

  Hi everyone, this is Piero and welcome to my place. I travelled myself when I was younger and I really appreciate the happiness and friendship from people coming from all over the world. The place where I live is just 20 minutes far from the beaches (Francavilla al Mare, Pescara) and 20 minutes far from the beautiful Majella mountain and its great hiking paths and lookouts; it's the countryside in Abruzzo but everything is nice and close so during the day you can get the peaceful and relaxing feeling of the country and at night you can have fun in the several clubs and discos that are not far at all. Getting here is easy, but to make it even easier for you, I can pick you up from Chieti Scalo (train/bus station), Pescara (airport, train/bus station) or from any other hub place around.
  
  On the farm we grow our own food, we save our seeds, we have chickens, olives and vineyards: some of the jobs are daily (f.i. feeding the chickens) and some others are connected to the season (f.i. seeding, harvesting, preparing jams). We are not vegetarian/vegan but we will not have any problem in offering such meals, we normally eat together so we can share even deeper what we have grown and produced. No one in the house is a smoker but we have no problems at all in hosting someone who smokes.
  We normally are quite, peaceful and go to bed around 10PM, on the other hand when the vibes are good, we don't mind to have fun together, play, sing, drink and being late.
  
  I really hope you will enjoy your stay!
  See you soon!
