Description
We bought a nice little land in a small valley with drinkable stream and small waterfall with little natural pool. There are a lot of fruit trees( olive, walnut ,plumb, cherry, pear, orange, kiwi..)There's an old stone house that we're restructuring. We choose this place also because there's also other people living in the valley that have the same vision of simple life. We have two dogs and there's a lot of wild birds who sings all day long.

Elena and Claudia made me feel very welcome in their home!
I could choose the work that I wanted to do in my own rythm :) with them trusting me.
To sleep I had a camper for myself.
We had lots of great food together and it was a pleasure to meet their friends and neighbours.
I enjoyed the time a lot 💜
