    Description

    hello traveler
    thank you for taking an interest in my profile

    We are a very loving, lively, warm family, made up of two caring and attentive parents and two wonderful, full of life, curious and joyful girls who are the center of our world and our reason for living.

    girls (6 and 11 years old) are well educated and autonomous in most of their activities. They are very close and love to play together, even if they sometimes fight and then make up.

    Sharing our daily life with you would be a real pleasure for our family. Sharing is an essential value for us that we want to instill in our daughters, together with curiosity and understanding of other cultures.

    Cooking is our passion and we like to prepare many delicious things together but above all desserts, if you want we could teach you many delicious recipes,

    We enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors taking care of our garden, but the thing we love most in the world is spending time hiking, walking and visiting different places on the weekend.

    ours is a small town of about 12,000 inhabitants, has beautiful mountains with many hiking trails and a mild climate, has a beautiful old town with a beautiful castle and has shops, restaurants and bars.

    The village can be reached from our house by car in just 5 minutes and there you will find the bus stop that will take you wherever you want to go, if you are a good walker you can also get there on foot.

    Coming to us you will live in a country on a "human scale", you will improve your Italian, you will eat excellent food and you will meet nice and very welcoming people.

    In the immediate vicinity there are Formia, Gaeta, Sperlonga.

    Gaeta is a renowned tourist resort where girls usually go to the beach all summer, I have nicknamed it "little Sorrento" because it has nothing to envy to other beautiful places in Italy such as the Cinque Terre and Sorrento with a sea of ​​a deep blue.

    Formia is famous for the Vindicio beach where a strong continuous and constant wind make it an area frequented by windsurfing all year round.

    Sperlonga is another little gem loved as a tourist destination.

    Rome and Naples are very close to us and easily accessible by train or car.
