  Description

  Dear all,
  
  Recently I bought a house in Italy, Piemonte, for future residence. The house is a nice old building, and is meant to stay like that. It is located at the foot of the Bielllese Alps at a level of 550 m asl. The entrance of the Oasis Zegna natural park is at only 5 kms. It is meant to become a hide away after busy periods.
  The house is over 100 years old and filled with old furniture. Some is reusable, some is not. So, I am looking for volunteers who can help me creating a nice livable place.
  The house is big and and needs lovable attention, no renovation. This includes also the garden.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I hope to welcome volunteers from all over the world (please make sure to have the right visa), and to exchange cooking habits and recipes. And please go to the Oasi Zegna and join the guided walks. They are free and the guides are experts on the local fauna and flora.
  We can organize a picknick together when visiting Lago d' Orta, or learn how to make fresh Italian pasta,. Italy has many suprises.

  What else ...

  This is a place for people who like nature, but the cities are not far away. Turin and Milan are only an hour and a half away by car. Beautiful cities with a lot of culture, museums, nice restaurants.
  When you do like nature, that you need to go to the Oasi Zegna, just 5 kms away. You can choose to hike, mountainbike, bungy jump, trekking, horse riding and more. It's a beautiful place.
  Or you go to the lakes, just 30 to 45 minutes away by car. Lago d'Orta and Lago Maggiore are beautiful.
  
  The busstop is at Pray (10 minutes by bike or 5 by car).
