  Description

  Hi!
  We are a family of 5: Nicola, 39 years old, Omar, 8 years old, me, Simona,38 years old , Tara, our dog of 35 kg and Mia, our black cat. We are a sunny italian family which love to travel, nature, sports, connect and exchange different life style.
  I'm a vegetarian yoga teacher , shiatsuka, diy lovers and I love to cook when I have time. I worked with children, I'm a sailor and I created beautifull bags with old materials from the sea like windsurf, kite and much more. I'm from Milan but 15 years ago I decide to move here to live with nature nearby. Nicola is a windsurfer, a biker and a great handy man.Omar is a little bit shy but he loves to play and he's so curios to learning.
  When he was 3 years old, we created a kindergarten for him and other children because education is really important for us.
  We were workawayer and at the moment we're working near home, so we decide to become host.
  We live in a villa in the tuscany contryside with fruits and olive tree, just outside of the door.
  Beautiful beaches are 5 minutes away by car, we live 5 minutes from Vada, a little town with all services and market and 10 minutes away from Cecina a bigger center. Pisa is 40 minutes by car or train and Milan, only 3.30 hours in the north, while Rome is 3 hours in the south. You can visit Cinque terre, in Liguria and here you can discover different type of landscapes, like waterfalls, pine woods, amazing woods, sandy beach or other type.
  We love to share all of our experience and kowledge by offering healthy foods with local products and show the sourroundings through adventure excursion by bike, sup, windsurg in the sea or just walking to explore the unique and beautifull flora and fauna.
