Description
Hi! We are Valerio and Ruggine(dog) and we just added a new entry, Seta, a young England setter ! We live in a fantastic house in the middle of the woods, completely deep in the nature.
But so close to the city!
Is not so far to get easily the center of Alba, the magic place of wine and truffles!
There is a little wood laboratory because I like shape skateboards.
You can see the Instagram page or website! ask for the link!
The dream is organize some places for tents and, in the future, open the little camping in the woods!
A whale in the woods!
