    THE HOUSE IN THE FOREST

    In the municipality of Sale delle Langhe in the province of Cuneo, inside a chestnut forest, there is La casa nel bosco. My son, Jacopo (4 years old) and I live in France, but we come regularly, mainly in the summer, to the house in the woods and we gladly welcome guests, eager to learn about nature and to give us a hand, in everything that involves the maintenance of a house in the countryside, rural life and knowledge of a little-explored territory but rich in cultures and interests. No specific knowledge is required, other than a propensity or ability to do small manual jobs. Such as cutting wood, painting, If you also get along with children, Jacopo will be happy to spend time with you.
