  Description

  HI! We are Paolo and Serena and we have three children aged 13,10 and 6 full of life! We have decided since the autumn of 2022 to abandon Rome, our city in favor of a place more in nature and on a human scale and we have chosen a pretty village in the mountains at 1000 meters above sea level in the middle Val Camonica, Borno (BS) :-) : ski and snowboard slopes, mountaineering, mountain biking, trekking, trails, nature, good genuine food and the idea of creating your own vegetable garden with the princes of permaculture, for now just an idea that we hope to realize soon :-)

  Accommodation

  the accommodation is a room in a private house with two floors, two bathrooms, four bedrooms, a living room with kitchen, two balconies and a large garden.

• 

  What else ...

  The house is just outside the town of Borno, reachable by car in 5 minutes and on foot in 40 minutes; by bike in 8 minutes but the return is uphill! There are buses for getting around but there are few rides, mostly for schoolchildren. In the mountains there are many opportunities to be in contact with nature, mainly there are many well-marked paths, even for bike trekking. The village of Borno is quite popular especially in the ski season, in the summer and during the weekends. Descending into the valley there are many attractions to visit, such as the rock art sites of Unesco heritage and many opportunities for free time.
