    Description

    We are a norwegian couple who has our summerhouse in a little coast town close to Rome. Our house is a beautiful, 200 years old villa .Our house is situated in the center of this town, in a very nice green lunge, with a big garden and lot of birdsong. It is a ten minuts walk to the beaches , so it is plenty of places to go swimming and sunbathing. Here is a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants. Every Thursday there is a big market where you can buy clothes, shoes and all kind of good food. One hour with train and you are in beautiful Rome with all its excitment. All our 3 children are grown up and live in Oslo. Siw Is a former teacher and gardener and Nils Arne is a classical singer and manager for other singers. We need some help with gardening, and some painting around the house. You will always work along side me and my husband.
