Descripción
Me (Ulrich), or us, that are Jeanette (Ulrichs partner) and Maxl (a dog) and me (again - Ulrich) have bought a small piece of land in southern Piedmont (close to Levice, Cuneo). The property is situated in the forest at about 600 meters altitude. On the property is a collection of around 8 - 10 buildings (former buildings, I have to admit, it's all ruins actually) of wich we plan to reconstruct at least 4.
The idea is to use materials, the land around us provides - straw, clay, stones, wood. At the moment we are working on the smallest building - "il Castano" - to make it winterproof.
Next step after building number 2 ("il finile") will be an open air theatre with a small stage and place for around 150 people.
Jeanette is a designer and carpenter, mother of three and a most wonderful woman anyway,
Maxl is an twelve year old shepherd-mix. He is not very relaxed with other male dogs (sorry!)
Ulrich studied architecture, learned woodturning and works as an actor (in fact he is a small one-man-theatre) and is pretty much a DIY-fan. In his second life he works as a personality/communications trainer
The property has 2500 square meters and is shaped through its terraces that span around 20 meters in altitude.
On the ground is a shower (heated) and a compost-toilet (with a very comfortable seat) apart from that we have a small kitchen-building (with one sleeping-place) the rest of us resides in tents or vans.
Electricity comes from solar panels and batteries. Drinking water from our neighbors.

This fall we need help with wooden construction, building and plastering walls, roof construction, working with clay, natural stones, straw and wood. Tools are provided.
Work that can always be done is - carefully demolishing the ruins, sorting stones, moving dirt ....
Anyone with experience in designing permaculture gardens is heavily invited and most welcome!!!
Apart from construction I would be thrilled to have someone here who could teach me Italian.
But in general - anyone with open minds and open hearts is welcome to stay.

Alojamiento
in a tent (we have a small one and a family-tent for guests and a couple of sleeping mats) / or your own camper. As soon as buildings are finished in those buildings...
i / we provide for food and drinking - of course - mostly vegetarian with a tendency to vegan, but that is not a religion...
cooking, shopping and eating preferably will be done together - so anyone is free to communicate their needs.
should your needs be excessive alcohol or soda pops, you might want to bring some money for your own....
Algo más...
Since our place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, there's lots of possibilities for hiking, walking, being on your own. The towns of Alba, Savona, Acqui Terme are about an hour drive away. If you are traveling with your own car we could guide you to the place, if you are traveling by bus or train, we of course can pick you up in Alba, Cortemilia, Acqui Terme or Savona. Public transport via bus to Coremilia is ok.

She easily adjusted to our style and tempo of living and working and was a most perfect complement to our little community over the time she stayed.
She picked up basic skills in clay plastering and filling joints in the natural stonewalls.
Lina is forever welcome to return and help!
He is such a light hearted, kind spirit, that it almost is of no importance how the working goes, since his presence makes the days being good days. And on top of that he was a most helpful two hands in moving stones, chopping and sawing wood… read more
They were reliable, cheerful, very consistent in their workflow and on top of that sooo sympathetic that one doesn’t want them to leave.
For future hosts: have them and treat them nicely - they deserve it!
wonderful spirits, humorous and joyful, great company and willing helpers with everything they were asked to do.
thank you for being at our place!
Ann-Kathrin war eine wundervolle Bereicherung für die Zeit die sie mit uns verbrachte. Unermüdlich, initiativ und eine kreative Köchin obendrein.
Ein Mensch den wir schon nach der Abreise vermissten!
We gladly recommend her!
It is really an exceptional place in the woods there - so quiet and surrounded by nature. And it is an special project to restore these old buildings, bring them to life again and turn them into a place where once cultural events can happen.
I really can recommend everyone going to… read more
His dog was, after a little hiccup at the beginning, a great company for Maxl. I really enjoyed to have Wolf stay with me and can absolutely recommend him to any host, who needs reliable help. - THANK YOU - DANKE
My time there was just amazing. Ulrich welcomed me into his place with such kindness and warmth. I felt at home from the very first day. We cooked and shared all of our meal together, he introduced me to his friends and neighbors and took me… read more
