Description
I live in a farmhouse with my friend in the countryside of Bagheria, a few minutes from Palermo in Sicily. My house has a wonderful olive grove overlooking the sea, and a small orchard. My friend is a cook and teach Italian cuisine. My house is a happy house and I often organize courses or small gatherings between friends. I love animals and in my house live 3 cats.
