Description
We are a family of 3, dad Leonardo is 45, mum Valentina is 49 and Federico who is 10 years old.
Dad works as a mechanic and mum is a police-woman. Federico is a very joyful boy, he loves open air games and good company.
But we are not only humans...There are many animals in our family!
We have with us 5 dogs, 6 cats and a beautiful pig...our family has many many legs! Of course you need to love animals as much as children to stay with us...
We live in the countryside, in a big independent home 8 km from the seaside of Genova Pegli.
For the summertime, you should be able to swim because Federico loves going to the beach almost every day!
We'd love Federico to play outside and/or with games useful for his fantasy such as Lego instead of laying on the sofa watching TV. Anyway, we'd like someone playing WITH him and not just watching him playing by himself.
Federico can speak English pretty well and he can understand Spanish as well, but he's still too shy to speak this language :) I hope our host will help him to improve his language skills
