Description
A unique place, in the middle of nature! Waterfalls, forest, monkeys and an incredible view of the valley. Huge mountains all around us. Bird sounds and peaceful environment.
Relaxed people, looking to build a fresh and peaceful refuge, connected to nature. We like pizzerias and barbecues, we love animals and we are simple people.
Here, I seek a lifestyle that is more connected to nature and relaxed. I had an incredible permaculture experience volunteering in Greece that made me absolutely change my life and now I'm here starting my own project.
