    Description

    Hi guys I'm Michele, Nice to meet you! I'm 31 years old and I live in Urbino. I worked as cook around Europe and now I'm restoring my family house in Urbino.

    The house was an Agriturismo since 2019, now I'm transform it in an Eco-village where people will live and work togheter, this project has sustainability as its goal. The structure has rooms with bathroom where you can stay, a large room heated by a beautiful stube built by a man from Brescia.
    We will work together and eat together, the work is 5 hours a day (from 8 to 13) for 5 days a week.

    The house is surrounded by greenery and therefore not accessible by public transport, but if we agree I can transport you wherever you want with the car.
    We are working on this project, especially me, and my friends that are living here in the house.

    Tasks and goals of the projects:
    collecting woods
    restoring the pond
    gardening
    seeds bank
    herbs and vegetables cultivation
    Minicamping building
    cleaning rooms and kitchen.

    The project is intended to go toward self suistainability.


    Dogs are allowed and I do not require a swab or vaccine of any kind.

    Hope to see you in Italy soon, in the meantime Ciaooooo!!!
