Description
We are a family of four: Simone, Elisa, Rachele and Celeste.
We are a very active family: we love being in nature and practicing outdoor sports, such as climbing, hiking, skiing, swimming in the sea and, above all this, we love cycling. We explored lots of countries with our bikes, since the girls were very young!
Simone is 50 and he is an employed. Elisa is 48, she is a psycologist. Rachele and Celeste, are 15 and 13, they speak English quite well, Rachele is also learning Spanish and French and Celeste is learning French.
Rachele loves animals so much, especially horses, in fact she likes going horse riding and taking care of them. She also plays the guitar, she's really into music.
Celeste loves dance and teathre. She also likes to read books and comics (especially "Peanuts").
We also have two cats: Sunny and Lullaby, they are cute and fluffy and they love to sleep.
We hosted lots of volunteers during the past summers. We had always very good experiences: we knew new many people and their culture and most of the volunteer became part of the family and remained friends with us. Some of them still come and visit us on their holidays!
The volunteer usually stays with Rachele and Celeste from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm. They practise some language together, they go walking around our village or they go to the beach. Rachele and Celeste like to make the volunteers explore the most beautiful places in our area, like museums or citys.
The volunteers have also some free time to spend on their own and to visit others incredible places in the area!
We hope to welcome you in Loano !

Our family lives in an independent villa which is 1,5 km from the center of Loano. The bus and train station and the sea are 20 minutes walking from our house. On the ground floor there's the kitchen, the living room, the bedrooms of our daughters. Upstairs there's parents' bedroom, downstairs there's the guest bedroom with a private bathroom.
What else ...
Loano is in Liguria, the region is between the sea and the mountains and it's rich in nature and history. For these reasons it's a holiday destination all year round.
In your free time you can visit very nice vilages or explore the trails trought the "macchia mediterranea"
In Loano there is the train station: by train you can reach all the most important Ligurian cities and northern and central Italy (in two hours you can get to Genoa or Nice, in three hours to Turin or Milan, in five hours to Pisa or Florence, in seven hours to Venice.) With one night on the train you will be in Rome or Naples. If you need more days off to visit these cities, we will be happy to give them to you!
