    Description

    We live on a wonderful island near Napoli, Ischia. It is a quiet volcano where ancient greek started to produce wine about 3-000 years ago. The view from our vineyard is wonderful, you can see the sun setting over the Pontine Islands and the entire Lazio coast. There are four of us in the family, a municipal employee, a lawyer, and two girls high school students. We spend all our free time dreaming of reviving the ancient vineyard. Would you joint us?

We will work, go fishing, go trekking and work again. We really like the idea of ​​hosting people who come from different countries because it is like traveling while staying at home and we love traveling a lot but we have chosen this hobby that keeps us on the island.

    Help

    We have the habit of planting vegetables between the vines, for our own consumption. But this, in addition to keeping the vineyard clean, takes a lot of time. And then there are the small maintenance jobs, the fences to paint, the irrigation systems to fix. We do everything, but having a hand is nicer, chatting while working likes working lighter .
