  Description

  We are living on our homestead at the very edge of a small hamlet, in the middle of an Olive Grove.
  
  We left the busy life and jobs behind and came here to cultivate our own food.
  
  No public transport. The nearby village has a Café where you can meet locals on Sunday. Take a stroll through nature to the river for a swim. We have an old bicycle you can use.
  It is isolated here, so be good by foot to explore the surroundings, or bring a book or two, as there is no entertainment.
