We, Angelika(63) and Christof(60) are living in an old shist-house at the edge of a small village in the mountains.
The house is completely restored with 5 rooms, a guestroom, kitchen and bathroom with solar warm water.
There is a small chicken-house, some sheds, a workshop and a garden with greenhouse, fruit and olive trees and a big variety of plants. There is another small house with three more rooms that needs a lot of renovation to be done, inside and out.
