    Description

    Adrian and I, Mirella, run an agriturismo on 6 hectares of Iland. We rent out holiday flats and grow saffron, among other things. We have 2 Sardinian donkeys, 2 Sardinian dogs, two cats and three chickens. Wi live in a beautiful location with a 180 - degree view of the sea. In abaout 5 minutes we are at the most beautiful beaches of Gallura. You need a car. Or another means of transport. We are far away from the tourist hustle and bustle and yet we are quickly in the centre of the action. Adrian is an artist and I write books. We are both Retired. We are both Swiss. Mirella also Italian and we `ve both lived here for six years.

    Wir Andrian und Ich Mirella betreiben ein Agriturismo auf 6 ha Land. Wir vermieten Ferienwohnungen und pflanzen unter anderem Safran an. Wir haben 2 sardische Eselchen, 2 sardische Hunde, drei Katzen und drei Hühner. Wir wohnen an einer wunderschönen Lage, mit Blick 180Grad Winkel auf das Meer. In ca. 5 Min. sind wir an den schönsten Stränden der Gallura. Du brauchst ein Fahrzeug.Wir sind fernab vom Touristenrummel und doch schnell im Geschehen drin. Adrian ist Künstler und ich schreibe Bücher. Wir sind beide pensioniert. Wir sind beides Schweizer und Mirella ist zusätzlich Italienerin. Wir sind seit 6 Jahren hier.
