    Description

    Hi!!!
    We are Paul and Sara! We've bought an old farmhouse in the marvelous and famous area of Monferrato in Piedmont. The area has also recently received UNESCO status. The property is on a hill, with a fantastic panoramic view, surrounded by woods and vineyards!
    We've spended the last two years restructuring the house. Se have created a little country house with a rura center. It is more than a simple space for artists to expose their works or present their performances, rather a source of inspiration that will actively contribute to the creation and design of their works.
    We are developing the project ecologically: we use phitodepuration and termo-solar system for the warm water. Our farmi will be powered by photovoltaic panels.
    Up to now we need to tidy up garden, take care of our vegetable gardens, take care of our animals (horses, hens, dog, cats) build fences and do small jobs for the maintenance of the area, help with domestic tasks as tidy up the house,cooking (if you want to learn Italian cuisine), baby sitting. We are also cleaning and restore our little attic so we can need your help. We would also like to practice with english and french.
