    Description

    We are a group of friends that bought a mountain hut. Hidden in the Alps, with fresh air and clear water, it's the place where we want to have good times.

    It is a place for anyone who enjoys mountain, good-mood people and spending time together. We like spending time there in summertime while doing some task aroudn the hut: cleaning, gardening, maintenance of wooden fences. Details about the tasks are discussed together according to priority and weather.

    It's going to be the five of us, plus our kids, friends, workawayers that might want to join, plus animals :) We are not living there all the time but visiting on some weeks in summer.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Everybody will sleep on the floor with mattresses or camping mats. The house is composed by different rooms. The main one, just above the kitchen, is the sleeping room where everyone is staying.

    Keep in mind that it is a moutain house. Dry toilet and shower outside, animals, spiders and so on. If you are looking for a comfy and clean place, this is not the best option.

    About food, we will do all the shopping. Let us know of any intolerance or allergy to get ready. The idea is sharing the 100% of time and experience, so we are going to cook together and share recipes from all over the world.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are in the Alps. There are plenty of routes to go. And Milan is 1,5 hrs by train from the nearest station. There's a lake for sailing and swimming not far away (by car).
