  Description

  Hi, we are a family of three (Marzia, 50 Aurora, 15 and Gabriele, 13) and we live in a small village called Villamontagna in the outskirts of a town in the north-east of Italy, Trento.
  
  We are very close to the lake of Garda (more ore less 45 minutes by car, one hour by bus).
  
  Our town isn't a big one but we are
  close to Venice (2 hours by car or train), Milan (2,5/3 hours by car or train), Verona (1 hour by car or train).
  
  Our house is on the middle/top of a mountain from which you can see the Adige Valley where Trento is, and the mountains which are famous for skiing in winter and summer trekking.
  It is surrounded by a big garden where our dogs, Mila and Sparrow, and our children love to play.
  
  I (Marzia) love cooking. My best creation is home made pizza, but I also bake cakes, biscuits and bread and cook pasta, rice, cereals as well as meat and fish.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  If staying with us you'll have the chance to visit many beautiful places in Trentino, our region. It's a mountain landscape with the possibility of beautiful trekking trips in the nature.
  In the woods next to our house there are many beautiful paths where you can have long walks.
  
  Besides, in just one or a couple of hours by train it's possible to get to Milan, Verona, Venice.
  Rome and Florence are farer but reachable from 4 to 6 hours by train.
  
  You will also have two "little" siblings 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 who will be happy to share their time with you, watching movies, playing video games, table games or table tennis or simply listening to music.
  They're teen-agers, so they can be wishing loneliness sometimes, but hopefully you will be of help.
  
  If you like animal you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the company of two lovely and playful dogs ,🐶🐕 and to discover the bees 🐝 world.
  In July we collect our bees honey🍯
  
  We can teach you Italian.

  Sometimes during the week we have to take care of our bees.
  
  In the afternoon and at weekends you are free.

  When at home I'll cook for all the family (you are enclosed :)). When I'm at work you have to cook the meals for the kids.
