  Description

  A friendly and funny italian family who loves nature and living in countryside.
  
  We've been travelling a lot around Europe our whole life by campervan. This helped us to exchange cultures and have opened mindset with everyone in respectful and vitality way.
  
  We live in the country side of Lugo (lowland of Romagna), surrounding by vineyard, cropland and ours animals: 4 sheeps, many chickens, few geese, 3 horses, 1 dog. We have an independent big house with big garden and many rooms to share with guests.
  We love our place and we love even more host friends, families, other people and share good moments with them.
  
  Help people and the simplicity of small things are great and important values for us, which we defend and try in every way to spread in our lives.
  We like eat good meals (as ALL Italians do ahahah) and most of all making it, preparing with our veggies and try to avoid processed food.
  
  Our project born with the desire to be self-sufficient with healthy food and sell to the surrounding community veggies, eggs and homemade food. We also seek to create a nice environment and in harmony with the surrounding nature.
  Rethink, reuse, reduce and recycle are also our slogan.
  
  The members of the family are:
  -me Roberta (59 y/o): artisan with recycled materials, creative and joyful
  -my husband Giovanni (64 y/o): retired policeman, ever volunteer and missed actor (joking all time)
  -my son Michele (20 y/o): animal lover, wild cowboy and deep "oldschool" farmer
  -my son's girlfriend Diamante (20 y/o): horse lover, quite farmer and good worker
  -and of course all the animals!
  I also have two more children (34 and 38 y/o) and I am happy NONNA of two grandkids.
  
  Looking forward to host you :)
