  Ciao! We are: Renata, Roberto, and little Dario 3 year and a half, Giulio, 1year.
  
  Renata from Czech Republic, after 15 years of Italy, an italian..
  A creative and independent soul, a lot of experiences in tourism, travels, photography, natural talent for pr, a really self made woman..
  Roberto, from Italy, outsider and creative from the beginning.. art, nature, sound, massage and and good in use of hands.
  Dario, our actual creation..
  
  We are moving in this "new" historical house, an old iron foundry, on a little creek in ligurian inland.
  
  We want to establish here, a project of transformation of this old and marvelous house into an eco friendly accommodation place, a place where people can really stay in peace for a while, not only a guest house or something like that, a place surrounded by beauty of Nature, where is possible to Be.
  
  Just to be precise and transparent as possible:
  the place is in the hills, 600 m. high, 1h from the sea, in the woods.
  Small villages around, one, two shops, one mini market around here.
  For reach a human civilization or multiple solitude called city..)) Ovada is a small one, 30 min. driving; Genoa a medium one (for Italy), 1h drive.
  Let's say that here car is quite useful, we'll see what possible to do borrowing one from us.
  Winter here is not North Pole, but snow, rain and fog is possible easily for days.
  On the other hand if you like an immersive atmosphere, this is perfect.
  
  We think the cooperation like a form of mutual learning, sharing and considering the most important place is the project itself.
  As we are not a wealthy family we now offer a kind of au pair stay, not possibile in any other way at the moment.
  
  Ten minutes far from the foundry another old house, an ancient mill that has to be restored is another part of the project that now is working like a creative form of accommodation.
  
  We need a bit of help for many aspects, like:
  cutting grass and chop wood
  help gardening
  stone, wood carpentry works
  take care of a little baby 1h& half
  general country works
  
  
  We need practical, respectful, active, healthy (in the body-mind-soul), clever people, better with a minimum of experience in using tools like chainsaw or brush cutter, hammer, nails and so on.. General countryside works.
  Your hands will be dirty and sometimes could be hard compared with sitting in front of a monitor.. But we think is better.
  If without experience, no problem. As we ask for real help, is enough the capacity of listening-watching for learning.
  
  For sure if you want we can speak italian, while we improve our english or french.

  Hébergement

  According to our future choices and needs:
  
  an indipendent flat with two rooms for the guests, that can host 2 couples or 2 single travelers, or a room (the one with more privacy) for guests with us.
  Sometimes if the stay is long, we think better to eat separately, for yours and our private life, we think that once a day is enough or at least we consider this hypothesis.

  Autres infos...

  In your free time (we need you for 5h a day, if you want give us more time then we'll find an agreement).
  We are not wealthy now, so money payments are quite difficult for your help now.
  You can do your activities, anyway. Keeping in mind that you are not in a city but in the hills.
  
  We are far 5km from the first bus stop to Genoa (2-3 times per day), 1h for reach the city, with his historical centre and monuments.
  By car: 1h for reach the sea or the coast line, Varazze, 1h30 for reach Portofino promontory, 2h for Cinque Terre.
