    Description

    Hello, we are Giuseppe and Janiele, we have 2 children and we want to carry out a self-sufficient life project in a beautiful place, surrounded by nature in front of the imposing Majella mountain in the territory of Archi (CHIETI).

    Nature gave us the possibility of receiving a place full of life
    with fruit trees, a bambuseto, various gardens and a lot of forest.

    We are restoring an old ruin with sustainable materials

    Just for mechanics and metal, paint, art lovers, we have 40 vintage cars to take in pieces to have back the rare mechanics parts and transform the car body into work of art!

    One of our projects was to restore a 400-year-old mill that is inside our house, the only one in the entire region. Finally, we were able to complete the restoration with the help of other volunteers who stopped by.

    Now everything needs to be cleaned and treated with care and love

    So, there are many works to do, respecting the nature time and space... and of course there are many things to enjoy and share...

    VERY IMPORTANT!!!
    TO AVOID PROBLEMS OF LINGUISTIC BARRIERS
    AND ENJOY TO THE MAXIMUM WITH THIS EXPERIENCE,
    CURRENTLY WE ARE HOSTING ONLY PEOPLE
    THAT SPEAK OR UNDERSTAND ENOUGH
      ONE OF THESE LANGUAGES:
    ITALIAN, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE
