Description
UPDATE!!!!! KIDS ARE NOW LEARNING FRENCH (MATTEO) AND SPANISH (EMMA) SO IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE AS YOUR SECOND LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE A PLUS!!!
We are a family of four: daddy Enrico, mummy Barbara, Matteo( 13 ) and Emma (10). We love long walks and hiking in our mountains .
We live in Borriana, a small but lively village lying by the beautiful Serra Hills, between Turin and Milan in Northern Italy. It is a very good place to stay if you love hiking, running or cycling or if you simply enjoy long walks, but we are a few minutes by car from the main town Biella, where you can find main facilities.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Babysitting and creative play
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We believe that staying in our family will be a great opportunity for you to experience italian hospitality, traditions and food. If you are interested to cycling , skying, hiking or simply walking or running, our area is just the right place for you...Borriana lies in the countryside but in 10 minutes by car you can be in the mountains..

Help
We are focused on improving our children's knowledge of English. I've been speaking English to them from their birth and they can understand it at a good level, and Matteo is now fluent while Emma needs a boost on speaking her second langage :D! We would like to host a native English speaker that could play and communicate with our children in English exclusively.

What else ...
The Biellese area is well known among outdoors activities lovers, and here you might try some unusual activities from gold panning in rivers with a local association to hang gliding or bungee jumping from the Colossus bridge (152 m). We are very close to Val d'Aosta and Mount Blanche and Mount Rose.Those who are interested to history will love visiting the Ricetto di Candelo, a very well preserved medieval hamlet and the mining archeological sites in Valsessera. All these sites can be reached by coach and we will be more than happy to help you to find the best connections.
