    Description

    Hi everybody
    We are a little crazy family
    Claudia, 49years old supermum
    Frida, 5 years old super little girl
    and Mia, our super super dog
    We live in Sicily, close to the volcano Etna, in the little village called Mascalucia
    Not far from the sea
    As well
    It’s a nice big old house where we’re living
    With a big garden full of orange trees, other fruits and some vegetables
    There’s also a nice yoga studio where I teach and practice with a yoga hammock and other nice toys to train with
    And we like to share it with our guests

    Help

    We need help around the house, gardening, and cooking. We have a nice little room where we can host two persons, but it’s a small room, I must admit, and we would like to have people for at least one month. Unfortunately I have no Wi-fi in the house...So if you’re looking for a nice place to travel while sharing a dynamic life with us
    We are waiting for you
