Description
I have lived in Brazil for more than 20 years and I continue to enjoy this country very much, both the beach and the interior. Books are important companions, besides painting, hiking, animals. Our house in the country is a place where I can return again and again. This place of retreat, far from the traffic and the commotion of civilization, I would like to share with other people.

There are two kitchen. We can share the kitchen. You can cook your meals independently or we can share the cooking. If you wish it, there is an independent kitchen avaliable. As the town is relatively far, you would better buy everything you need like medicaments etc. your favorite chocolate, fruit etc. You will have acess at the garden with what vegetebales and fruits grows in the season and to the basics like rice, oat, flour etc.
What else ...
You will be in a very quiet, secluded place. There is no public transportation. The nearest small town is 7km away and the nearest bigger town is about 25 km away. ( earth road). However, there are people in the neighborhood that you can go with, though you will have to be somewhat felxible. If you need a lot of contact, it is not the right place for you. But if you want to retreat a bit, love nature and animals it is the right place.
