    Italy! In the beautiful hills of Oltrepo Pavese , Just South of Milan !

    Oltrepo Pavese is relatively tourist free, I call it real Italy , my husband and I have a old 150 year old Cascina, which means old farmhouse, we share our home with dogs, cats , and local wildlife, deer, rabbits, sometimes we see wild boar.
    Note ;- WE ARE NOT A WORKING FARM OR A VINEYARD , it is a family home !

    I am British, my husband is Italian, we have three children, not soo much children anymore !

    Oltrepo Pavese is the largest wine area in Italy, second globally to California, if you do not like wine then we suggest you do not visit us.

    The surrounding vineyards and hills are south facing , many refer to this area as the jewel of the crown, in some ways it is similar to Tuscany , however, without major tourists.

    Our life is our home, our family, small wine cellar, food and local culture play a large part of our daily life, in the Spring and Summer we dine most evening under our Cascina al fresco Vita Bella .

    Nearby, we have everything from the border of Liguria with the coastal regions of the famous 5 cities , Genova, Milan, Tornio, and many beautiful local villages ready to explore .
    Venice is reachable by train and an overnight stay is possible !

    Our home is large, always plenty to do , we have a swimming pool in the summer months , bikes, and a very outdoor life in the spring and summer .

    Weekends usually are spent off in the hills , with a bottle of wine , bread, cheese , exploring local vineyards, new wines waiting to be tasted or off to the sea or just relaxing in the garden and pool .

    It is important that you have experience with dogs and cats and enjoy experiencing different cultures.

    I always have a video call before committing to anything and please note we do not Mediate , we are Not Spiritual,
    if this is something you are looking for then we are not the hosts for you .

    I always try to reply to messages, please don't be disappointed if it doesn't work out, I receive many generic emails which I never usually answer , it is important that people coming to our home read our profile.

    No smoking in the house, and you must be fully vaccinated in line with the Green, Super Green Pass, or relevant country equivalent, we do not accept No Vaccinated guests.

    Please do try to communicate in English, once I respond to your emails I expect an answer within a week as we receive a significant amount of requests.

    PS if you have any sailing experiences or qualification please do share this with me as this could be of a great help as in our spare time we love to sail.

    Thank you and look forward to hearing from you X
