Help transforming my old grandparents farmhouse in South Piedmont, Langhe, Italy

Infos

• 

  Description

  My name is Giorgia, few years ago II moved from the city to my grandparents farmhouse.
  In the past it was a very alive place full of agricultural activities and people working.
  I wish is to bring back this special place to its life, turning it into a gathering point for people interested in knowing and understanding local culture of south Piedmont (Langhe) and its natural environment, preserving it and adding value from new comers and visitors.
  I am working on conservative renewal of different spots of the farmhouse, in particular a tiny traditional stone cottage (ciabot) and its surroundings.
  I love reusing and upcycling almost everything in a useful way. ... sometimes reaching some excess :D
  
  II need suport from people with abilities in renewing and repairing since I don't have those specific skills , but I help in everything. I live next to my parents that are a great source of help in many ways.
  
  Transporting: there is not local pubblic tranportation available at walk distance but we can drive you at the nearest bus station (in Cortemilia) 20 minutes by car and pick you up at your arrival in the nearest train station (Alba or Cengio)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You will stay in one of the most beautiful place in South Piedmont. I live in the less popular and known side of Langhe, called Alta Langa, that is wilder and more remote than the Langa of the wines.
  Here is the culture of hazelnuts and sheep cheese. We are immerse into hazelnuts fields and woods. I can tell and share anything i know about hazelnuts local products, local recipies.
  My parent live beside me and my mother cook very well too, my father like to show around and explain many things.
  Here you can enjoy good food, very nice walks and a welcoming family atmosphere

  Aide

  I need help:
  - from basic things - those kind of activities that require patience and resistance, like stone walls cleaning, painting, moving pieces of furniture from one side to the other (!)
  - to skilled DIY abilities, general maintence, building something new from old staff ... little plumbing; ( I would love to create a small eco-toilet into the wood), where i can only be a low skill helper.

  Autres infos...

  The place is 1 hour by car from the sea side (Ligurian Sea), 50 minutes from Alba (wine and truffle capital) and 2 ours form Turin or Milan. This special hills offer incredibly wonderfull walks and all the villages around are beautiful. But you need to be interested in staying in a quite remote area too. The village is about 250 residents and all the other villages nearby are tiny.
