    Description

    Hello, we are an Architect with a Master's degree in sustainable environmental design from the University of Shanghai. And an Architect interior designer. We live in the Naples city historical center. This is our base camp when we are not traveling. We bought an extremely beautiful rural house in the middle of the city, with a huge garden of 600 sqm. We love friends, cooking, wine, Architecture, Arts, gardening, sea, and Nature. We are self-restoring this historical home with a height of 6 m and a hundred-year-old windows, decorated flooring, and walls. This place of living has all the aspects of a countryside old villa. In the garden, there are a few ancient orange trees, lemon, figs, pomegranate... We are welcoming friends to help us in gardening, painting, food gardening... At the moment, we have one room available, or a tent under the trees...

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are happy to enjoy dinners with us and our friends, artists, sculptors, painters, architects, and musicians. Share some knowledge and take a trip around the city's peculiarities and architectural examples. Nearby surroundings and the coast. For the rest, you have free time to visit the sea, islands, and enjoy the Gulf of Naples, which is very interesting and historical.

    Help

    We’d be delighted to host someone to help us carry on with our projects and keep things in order. It would be helpful to host a couple or two who have skills in gardening and botany, as well as an understanding of household tasks. It would also be brilliant to meet people who can help Mariano with light painting.
    There are a few things we’d like to get done before winter:
    - Clear out a lot of stuff that’s built up over the years from the previous owners.
    - Rebuild the garden paths, re-landscape the garden, and prepare the lawn for the coming season. We’ll definitely need motivated helpers.
