    Description

    Hi, we're a family of four: my husband Franco, me, and two girls, ages 6 and 10, full of smiles and energy. We live in the countryside, but only 5 minutes from the sea! We also have our cat Uva, who happily runs around the garden and occasionally comes into the house looking for food. We live in Imperia, a seaside town, just an hour or so from the French border. Summer is our favorite time because we can spend the day in the garden or eat pizza on the beach.

    Ciao siamo una famiglia di 4 io, mio marito Franco e due bimbe di 6 e 10 anni cariche di sorrisi ed energia viviamo in campagna, ma a solo 5 min dal mare! con noi c'è anche la nostra gatta Uva che scorrazza felice in giardino e ogni tanto entra in casa in cerca di cibo.
    Viviamo ad Imperia una cittadina sul mare e siamo ad un'ora o poco più dal confine francese.
    L'estate è il nostro momento preferito perché possiamo passare le giornate in giardino oppure mangiare una pizza sulla spiaggia.

    Help

    We're looking for someone to spend time with our girls while we're away, taking them to the beach or playing in the garden. We offer short cooking lessons and the opportunity to try their hand at gardening.

    Cerchiamo qualcuno che condivida il tempo con le nostre bambine mentre non ci siamo che le porti al mare o le faccia giocare in giardino.
    Offriamo piccole lezioni di cucina e possibilità di cimentarsi in giardinaggio e orto.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    A single room on the ground floor adjacent to the ground floor bathroom, small but comfortable, with a double sofa bed, a clothes rack, and a cabinet. We're open to trying new dishes, so we'd love for visitors to feel free to experiment with us in the kitchen. In the evening, we all dine together; lunch can often be quicker and more convenient.

    Camera singola al piano terra adiacente al bagno del piano terra, piccola ma confortevole con divano letto matrimoniale rella per abiti e mobiletto.
    Siamo aperti ad assaggiare piatti che non conosciamo e quindi ci piacerebbe che le persone che verranno a trovarci possano sentirsi liberi di sperimentare con noi in cucina.
    La sera ceniamo tutti insieme il pranzo può essere spesso più veloce e fuori casa

    What else ...

    Ad Imperia ci sono diverse zone che meritano di essere visitate e vicino a noi c'è una fermentata del bus, mettiamo a disposizione una bicicletta e ci offriamo occasionalmente per passaggi.
    In generale teniamo alla pulizia e non entriamo in casa con le scarpe.
