Description
I am in the final phase of a project of a 300 years old family house refurbishing. Now the work has progressed a lot, but still a lot of work to do!!!
Interesting for those who like an authentic life in a peaceful and quiet environement (small village)..various activities in a beautiful setting in the ticino alps overlooking the lombardy plain and with a view on the Alp summits.
SCUSE ME BUT FOR THE MOMENT I'M AWAY.. I CAN'T RESPOND TO EVERY MESSAGE! SORRY!!
I WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

Mon temps avec Myriam fut court mais très agréable. Dès le jour de mon arrivée, elle m’a tout de suite inclus parmi ses soupers entre ami-es et elle m’a très bien accueilli chez elle.

We had the opportunity to work in the renovation of the old library where we did some… read more

Myriam is a wonderful person with lots of energy and young spirit, and she will definitely surprise you with all the ideas she has, things that she could teach you and with super good and healthy food.

Le passage de Selina dans ma maison a été un moment très positif pour moi! c'est une jeune fille pleine de ressources, toujours positive, gaie, prête à rendre service, à trouver des solutions.. j'ai été tout de suite très à l'aise avec elle.
Elle est d'une compagnie très agréable et a été très efficace.
Merci beaucoup ma chère et belle vie à toi!
