  • Description

    Description

    We're a couple, Francesca and Luca, 41 and 51 years old. We've moved to the hill, in a beautiful wood. We live on a small farm of 20 hectares in the foothills of Appennini, near city of Imola, no far to Bologna, Firenze and Ravenna. The nearest village is Fontanelice, 5 km far. We welcome help with daily household and farm tasks. At time we have 2 dogs, a cat and a little vegetable garden.
