Descripción
We are a retired English couple living in the countryside between the sea and mountains in Basilicata (Nova Siri) Southern Italy. We have 5 hectares of land (including 120 olive trees), two dogs and two cats. In our working lives we both were involved in international exchanges and love meeting new people and introducing them to our relative unknown corner of Italy. Our location is peaceful and beautiful and there are many places of natural and historic interest in the area.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
We love introducing people to this corner of italy and it's rural culture, music and cuisine. Although we are both English we have good links with the local community and S plays violin in a folk band. In season you can join us in the art of olive picking, pressing and pruning. We are happy to help you with your English if that is useful.

Alojamiento
We have a self contained fully equipped house situated next to ours (double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/diner/lounge) with good internet. The lounge has a sofa bed. We also have a small pool. I love cooking and you are welcome to join us for any meals or to cook for yourselves in your fully equipped kitchen or any combination - we can agree what suits all of us.
Algo más...
We are 10 minutes drive from the sea and about 30minutes from the Pollino national park. In the area there are Greek temples, roman remains, castles and stunning countryside. The UNESCO world heritage city of Matera is about 1 hour away. We are a short walk from the nearest bus stop and 30 mins from the nearest train station. Long distance buses stop about 10 mins drive away. Public transport is very limited in this part of Italy, with no taxis or local car hire facilities. Having your own transport would be a great advantage. Sorry, but we are unable to accept people travelling with animals. Non smokers only.
