  • Description

    Description

    We are a Dutch family of 4 who just moved from Amsterdam to the north of Italy in a small and peaceful village in the mountains close to Lago D’Orta, also very close to the Swiss border. We decided we would like to live a more quiet life, surrounded by nature. We are working in a spiritual retreat centre in the same village. We have bought a house (currently renovating) with a 1,5ha piece of land, surrounded by endless forest, rivers, waterfalls and mountains. We love animals; we have horses, cats and chickens. We also love working in the garden and growing our own vegetables. We have 2 kids; boys of 8 and 9 years old.
