  ☀ ** PREFERABLY NOT SMOKER; IF YOU ARE, PLEASE ONLY OUT ON BALCONIES (NOT INSIDE HOME) **
  
  ☀ ** PLEASE AVOID MEAT AT HOME! **
  
  ☀ ** STAYING WITH US: YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR YOURSELF. WE'D ONLY ASK YOU VERY LITTLE WORK SUCH AS HOUSE CLEANING AND TAKE CARE OF DUMBA WHEN WE'RE AWAY. BUT PLEASE CONSIDER TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH US IF WE'RE AT HOME - WE DON'T LIKE YOU TO STAY CLOSED IN YOUR ROOM THE WHOLE DAY EVERYDAY -
  
  
  ➠ If you wish to visit our city (Florence, Italy) and you'd like to share your culture, knowing more about ours, visit surroundings and so on, we will be very glad to host you. You'll have free time to visit nearby cities too.
  
  ➠ We live in a comfortable apartment 15/20 minutes away from the center by bicycle. Your room will be Sirio's room - sorry, we don't have an exclusive room for guests - you'll have your privacy by the way .
  
  ➠ Close to our home there's everything you need and a great park close to the Arno river, where to have beautiful walks, cycling, sunbathing and wonderful sunsets - there's also a great outdoor place (free entry) with live music and great people.
  I work as a Yoga teacher and I would be glad to have practices with you - or everything else you'd like!
  
  ➠ We're close to countryside with amazing hiking path, woods and panoramas. There's a swimming pool and a gym near our home, you are free to use one of our bicycles to go around.

  Dumba (14 years)

  She's our princess! I found her in the street back in 2012, while she was crying searching for her mother. I could hear her complaint from the traffic light and, no way! I couldn't go on - I got off the car and caught her - she didn't want to, but I have to. She would have probably lost her life because of the cars everywhere. She was reeeeally tiny and stayed on only one hand.
  
  We love her as a part of our family.
