  Description

  Hi everybody! We are a family composed by Fede (mother), Manu (father), Martino (7 years old son) and Adele (3 years old daughter). We also have a lovely dog, Frique.
  Fede is a social worker, Manu a teacher of physical education, both children go to school.
  We live in a village called Cambiano that is situated at 15 km from Turin. It is connected with the city by a train (a train every hour, 25 minutes to get to Turin) or by a bus (a bus every 15 minutes, 45 minutes to get to Turin).
  We are very open and welcoming and very found of hospitality!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We really adore cultural exchange, we use to host people for short periods (we are inscribed to Couchsurfing since more than 10 years, and also to Be Welcome) and also for long periods.
  So we are very curious, open and found of meeting people from all over the world and we love that our children grow up in this kind of attitude.
  We speak English, French and Spanish.
  The village where we live,Cambiano, is a small village but where are close to Turin, that is an amazing city, and also to hills surrounding the city.
  It's a place where it's possible to have nice walks and where everything is calm.

  Accommodation

  We can offer a kind of small apartment that is on the ground floor of our house. It's a big room with his own bathroom and kitchen. There are either a sofa and a bed.
  This room has an indipendent access (not the same door of our house, we live upstairs).
  It is a very indipendent accommodation but also very close to us, so you can have the perfect mix of sharing and privacy.
  There is also a nice garden outside that you will be able to use.
  For the food you will be able to cook by yourself and so it's not necessary to share all the meals. Anyway it will be a great pleasure for us to share meals sometimes!
