  Description

  MINIUMUM request - MARCH 2025 to OCTOBER 2025
  
  Hi there, we are a family of 4 (Luisa 40, Francesco 45, Greta 6, and Dante 15 months) living in a countryside house just outside the village of Ceglie Messapica, in the Itria Valley in Puglia (South of Italy). In summertime our home is a lovely b&b nested in a 2 hectars olive tree groves and we are hosting family and groups from everywhere in europe. We have three dogs and two cats, and our garden is always in need of care.
  
  Luisa has a corporate life working for a med tech company – mostly from home but also travelling around Italy and Spain a couple of times per month at least. Francesco owns a vintage furniture business – mostly mid-century modern style – both as an online shop as well as with a local showroom in the town of Ceglie Messapica.
  Greta is in first year of elementary school with full schedule from 8 to 16 mon to Friday – while Dante is in day care from 8 to 13 . We go out during the weekend to visit family and friends and we try to maintain a routine as much as possible but schedules varies a lot week by week .
  
  We love good company and hosting brunches with friends, we like to walk in the surroundings of our property and going out for fine dining – we have passion in art and design and we love learning about new culture and meeting international friends.
