    Description

    For about five years we have decided to leave Milan and our jobs to work in contact with nature in agritourism companies and now we are finally realizing our dream: to open a small "bnb" in the middle of the woods, with a vegetable garden, animals, veeeerySloooow food and plenty of space for wellness practices immersed in nature! In the coming months we will be immersed in a construction site for the renewable Energy (and partly self-construction) of the farmhouse and the start of the vegetable garden in permaculture way! See you soon :) Elena and Andrés and Anita

    UPDATE!!

    The renovation energy work on the farmhouse is complete!
    We have fully launched our B&B business.
    Anita has turned four years old.
    Our little wolf Kirya no longer eats the neighbour's lambs, and three kittens have joined the crew!
    We are sailing smoothly!

    We always need help with household chores and a little bit in the garden.

    No assistance related to our BnB business will be required, only with personal matters.

    If you are passionate about nature, here you will find endless walks in the woods starting from our house.
    We have a series of open days in spring and autumn where we invite experts in sustainability and art workshops. Our house is home to a literary café and live music evenings.
    We are located 10 minutes from Gubbio, a beautiful medieval village famous for St. Francis and the wolf, from where you can easily reach the cities of Perugia and Assisi.

    We look forward to seeing you
    Elena e Andrés e Anita

    Da cinque anni circa abbiamo deciso di lasciare Milano e i nostri impieghi per lavorare a contatto con la natura in aziende agrituristiche ed ora finalmente stiamo realizzando il nostro sogno: aprire un piccolo "bnb" in mezzo al bosco, con orto, animali, cibo veeeerySloooow e tanto spazio per pratiche di benessere immersi nella natura!

    Nei prossimi mesi saremo immersi in un cantiere per la ristrutturazione (e in parte autocostruzione) del casale e l'avvio dell'orto!


    AGGIORNAMENTO!

    I lavori di ristrutturazione del casale sono finiti!
    Abbiamo avviato completamente l'attività di B&B,
    Anita nel frattempo ha compito 4 anni,
    La nostra lupetta Kirya non mangia più gli agnelli del vicino, si sono aggiunti 3 gattini alla ciurma!
    Si naviga a gonfie vele!

    Abbiamo sempre bisogno di aiuto nelle faccende domestiche e un po' nell'orto di casa.
    Non sarà richiesto aiuto connesso alla nostra attività di BnB , ma solo con le faccende personali.

    Se siete appassionati di natura, qui troverete infinite passeggiate nei boschi che partono dalla nostra casa.
    Abbiamo una rassegna di giornate aperte di primavera e autunno dove invitiamo esperti in materia di sostenibilità, laboratori artistici. La nostra casa é sede di caffè letterario e serate live music.
    Ci troviamo a 10 minuti da Gubbio, bellissimo borgo medievale famoso per San Francesco e il lupo, facente si raggiungono le città di Perugia, Assisi.

    Ti aspettiamo :)
    Elena e Andrés e Anita
