    Description

    Hello, here is Raffaella Lorenzo Mira Viola and Luna🐶! we started hosting more than10 years ago and we had so many wonderful experience …we love to host!

    You would be encharged of Luna our 6 years old dog similar to a Labrador walking her twice a day everyday, watering plants and sometimes take care of Mira - our 11 years old sunny and reliable girl. When possible you could be asked to help in preparing something easy for dinner (as for example putting the preparation in the oven) or throughing the trash or putting and removing dishes from the dish washer.

    Me and my husband Lorenzo are the parents of a large family composed by our 4 daughters: Elena 28 and Lavinia 20 (not living with us) and the the younger living in sisters: Viola 18 and Mira 11 years always living with us.

    We live in our cosy home that's on the last floor of and old building on a beautiful small square in the old part of the town and we love it with the antiques monuments and markets and the long walk on the seaside.

    Lorenzo is an architect and we run together our business: Radici piccolo Museo della Natura which si a natural museum close to home with caffè bistrot and bookshop….we love our job but we are really busy the whole day and week and weekend.

    Our daughters go to school in the morning and we all meet for dinner at 8.30 p.m. or during the day at Radici.

    We host during summer as well, till mid june everything is more or less as usual then the girls move to Ustica a tiny island in front of Palermo and the volunteer will have lots of spare time and living most of the time on her own, taking care of the house, the dog and watering plants.
