    Description

    Hi, I'm Lucia (46) and my husband Is Agostino (48). He's an engeneer and I am a Science teacher; we have 4 children and we love to support them in their first steps: they're Andrea (12), Alessandro (11), Alice ( 9) and Arianna (7 and a half). We're a happy and hospitable family, we often have friends for dinner and I love cooking (delicious risotto and Amazing pizza provided!). We like to go on trip visiting the most suggestive places of our region (you can join us of you want) and we all love music, Agostino plays guitar and piano and he sings in a rock band, Andrea loves playing piano, cahon and medieval drum, Alessandro plays Guitar and medieval drum and Alice plays Ukulele. We don't have television by choice: we use to spend free time reading (our children really love books and comics), walking , cycling or skating in the countryside, gardening, playing board and card games or chess. Andrea loves Also playing football, Alessandro loves animals and open air life, Alice loves origami and artworks, Arianna
    Loves dancing. We live in the centre of Mestrino (PD), a Town in the middle of Veneto, in a villa with garden and swimming pool, and our pets are 6 turtles, a dog (Molly) and a cat (Zorro, he lives in the garden and in the garage). In front of our home there's a public park and beside there is another one with volleyball field, basketball court, Gym equipment and bar that organizes many events in summer such as live music, cocktail party, games and the Fairy festival in Summer. We can lend a bike.

    Mestrino Is conveniently located in the North East of Italy. Venice, Milan, Treviso and Garda lake (with Amazing amusement parks such as Gardaland) can be easily reached by train (railway station can be reached in 15 Min by bike). The bus stop Is 600 m far and the bus brings you to Padua (10 km), Vicenza (20 km), Euganean SPAs (9 km) and the seaside (50 km). In our home you can taste typical italian homemade food and breath the loving atmosphere of an italian family.
