Description
We moved to the countryside only 4 years ago. We are artists at heart, but we love life in the countryside. Santa is a choreographer and physiotherapist who works in the city and often travels to nearby cities. Arthur is a director, playwright and carpenter who works from home and working on various projects. Also we have two active boys (3 and 2 y) who would love to make international friends.

A separate bedroom is available. The kitchen and bathroom are shared. We are going to share meals together. But it's posible to cook separately. We can currently accommodate three guests sharing a room (If there is no objection to someone sleeping on the floor on the mattress). We are also renovating several rooms, but this does not interfere with living.
What else ...
If we can, we will come to a bigger city towards you. The capital of Latvia (Riga) is 1.5 hours away and has bars, clubs, cinemas, theaters and museums. Some of this have also a bit nearer and smaller cities of Jelgava and Dobele. Our surroundings are picturesque and there are nature trails nearby where you can rent a bike or just take a walk. In the warm season, we mostly work outside. We would like the guests to take an active part in everyday life and show initiative or suggest what could be done or improved on the farm. We are also open to learn and improve ourselves.
