    We are a group of friends that bought a mountain house. 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 are planning to do massive restoration works at the main building, plus some gardening and wood chopping. Details about the tasks are weekly discussed according to priority and workforce.

    It's going to be the five of us, plus our friends, plus any workawayers that might want to join, plus animals :) We are not living there all the time but visiting on some weekends, so we can host just during weekends or specific periods.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Everybody will sleep on the floor with matresses 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 intollerance or allergy to get ready. The idea is sharing the 100% of time and experience, so we are going to cook together.

  • 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).
