    Description

    I'm Daniele (46), and I live mostly with my son Libero (12), and Emanuel, who is 18.

    We live our life in a very beautiful place, a small village where other young families, friends of us, also live.

    We have shaped our lifes by following our dreams and ambitions, and this is something we love to share culturally with our guests.

    Over time, year by year, a spontaneous community of groups of friends has formed in the immediate surroundings. While living here, they collaborate with one another, each maintaining their own autonomy.
    Interesting people often come to visit us, bringing stories and life experiences that are very different from each other, and which become valuable moments of exchange.

    Some of our local friends are organic farmers, some are artisans, some are very creative people, some raise animals, and some… do almost nothing!
    Each of them has chosen how to live their own life and does so every day, finding refuge in these wonderful mountains.

    As for daily life, we mostly spend our time around the house, doing many activities related to everyday life and to the organisation of our home.

    Cultural exchange and the sharing of experiences are the main reasons why we host. We truly enjoy meeting people from different countries, sharing points of view, daily life and conversations, and learning from each other through our experiences.

    In some periods of the year, I dedicate myself to creative and manual activities using natural materials and more, mainly for learning and experimentation.
    At other times, I travel and take part in various festivals, as my work sometimes brings me to different places in Italy and also abroad. - ask us for our website link

    All the activities proposed here are non-commercial, non-professional, light, and carried out exclusively in the spirit of cultural exchange, sharing, and mutual learning.

    We also have bees, even though at the moment they are not very well looked after, and over time I would like to create a small vegetable garden for family use.

    The place where we live is not far from important historic cities, reachable in about 45 minutes by car, nor from beautiful natural attractions such as rivers, forests and mountains, most of which can also be reached on foot.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As I said, we live in close contact both with the local community that has lived here for generations and with many other families of friends, all very different from one another.

    The area offers river swimming, mountain activities, and many other outdoor experiences.

    It is easier to reach us and move around with your own car, although it is often possible to find car rides among the many people moving around in the area.
    We will do our best to make your stay here as pleasant as possible, sharing and learning from each other through the exchange of our experiences.

    The nearest village is Pianello di Cagli, about 5 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot: a very nice small town of about 500 inhabitants, with bars, shops, river access, and mountain trails.

  • Help

    Help

    Here you can share our everyday family life and all the things that naturally come with it.

    We are not looking for professionals or people specialised in any particular task. The help you can offer here is light, informal, and naturally arises from living together.

    Depending on the moment, this can include:

    - helping with daily life, inside and around the house
    - house cleaning and small home reorganisation activities
    - stacking firewood for household use
    - occasionally spending time in the vegetable garden
    - spending relaxed time outdoors
    - visiting and getting to know friends who live just a few steps away
    - sharing creative moments
    - sharing time and experiences with the children
    - and many other things that naturally come from sharing everyday life together

    The idea is to live together, keeping the necessary space for everyone, helping each other and enjoying the mutual exchange.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We can offer a one-room apartment with a double bed or two single beds, with bathroom and kitchen, on the floor below the same house where we live in the village.

    We rarely use this space ourselves, only sometimes to make some artistic stuff or to take something.

    We would be happy to share lunches or dinners together, while still leaving everyone free to enjoy their own time and space when needed.

    At the moment internet is available only by mobile hotspot.

    Regarding animals, it is simply necessary to let us know in advance what kind of animal it is, as there are already many local animals living in the village.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    this place is located at about 500 metres above sea level and is not very well connected by public transport, but twice a day it is possible to take a bus to reach beautiful cities such as Urbino, Cagli, Gubbio and others.
    Here you can relax in the village, spend time with friends, or walk freely in the surroundings, among forests, mountains and rivers.
    In winter, there are ski slopes right at the top of the mountain.
