    Description

    My partner and I are happy to open the gates of our land to those who are able to appreciate it. 3 years ago I built two little houses in an abandoned land of two hectares full of olive trees and fruit trees. I am doing my best to fix it up and also be able to integrate several animals. I was a backpacker for 5 years in Australia, Thailand, Nepal, Malaysia and the USA, now I have settled here in Calabria in a small seaside village in the province of Cosenza. The territory is nothing short of perfect because the mountains overlook the sea and therefore I am lucky enough to live in the woods and with 2 minutes take a walk on the beach. In addition, there are also the spas (Luigiane) that enrich even more this already special land, and then lakes, rivers, waterfalls all around a few km. What can I say ... A perfect place for those who love nature and want to have an experience in nature surrounded by everything.

    Io e la mia compagnia siamo lieti di aprire i cancelli della nostra terra a chi è in grado di apprezzarla.
    3 anni fa ho costruito due casette in un terreno abbandonato di due ettari ricco di ulivi e alberi da frutto. Sto facendo del mio meglio per sistemarlo e poter integrare anche diversi animali.
    Sono stato un backpacker per 5 anni in Australia, Thailandia,Nepal,malesya e USA, ora mi sono stabilito qui in Calabria in un paesino a mare nella provincia di Cosenza. Il territorio è a dir poco perfetto perché le montagne si affacciano sul mare e quindi ho la fortuna di vivere il bosco e con 2 minuti fare una passeggiata in spiaggia. Oltretutto sono presenti anche le terme (Luigiane) che arricchiscono ancora di più questa terra già speciale, e poi laghi,fiumi, cascate tutti intorno a pochissimo km. Che dire... Un luogo perfetto per chi ama la natura e vuole farsi un esperienza nella natura circondata dal tutto.
