    Description

    Hello people!!
    Our family bought a land with a ruin here few years ago and we’re now renovating it into a house.
    Since February we moved in and we'd love to expand our social environment and make it cozy, funny and have travellers around.

    We’re quite isolate here so if you enjoy peaceful and quiet place you'll feel awesome here!
    We’re more or less 4/5 people living here but VERY IMPORTANT we have 6 DOGS and 2 CATS 😀 ; ask yourself if you love animals before coming 😆 !

    The place is very close to the beach ( where I try to go at least once a day!), from the house we have an amazing sea and mountains view!
    I was a Workawayer myself for many years ans I would love to give back all the good I had from life, opening my place for volunteering and sharing culture.

    If you are interested in our project but you need/want to know more I’m always available for a phone/video call before you decide!!

    Many thanks . And see you soon 😊
