    Description

    we are 2 friends, - 1 Italian woman and 1 German man - 54, 67 full of enthusiasm. We decided to try to share life in a big house where we can make a vegetable garden, oil, and activities we love, such as yoga, meditation, tantra, biodanza. We have a community project, and to be able to host families and groups who want to share activities with us and enjoy the beautiful landscape, among the Tuscan hills, 40 minutes from Florence, Pisa, Lucca and the sea. We have 4 independent rooms for hosting volunteers and shared bathrooms. We would like to take advantage of the summer season to do some work alone, but there are too many and we need help ...

    siamo 2 amici, - 1 italiana e 1 tedesco - 54, 67 anni, pieni di entusiasmo. Abbiamo deciso di provare a condividere la vita in una grande casa dove poter fare orto, olio, e attività che amiamo, come yoga, meditazione, tantra, biodanza. Abbiamo un progetto di comunità, e di poter ospitare famiglie e gruppi che vogliono condividere con noi le attività e godere del bellissimo panorama, tra le colline toscane, a 40 minuti da Firenze, Pisa, Lucca e dal mare.
    Abbiamo 4 camere indipendenti, dove ospitare i volontari e bagni in comune. Vorremo approfittare della stagione estiva per fare un pò di lavori da soli, ma sono troppi ed abbiamo bisogno di aiuto...
