Description
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 650 meters altitude. On the property is a collection of around 8 - 10 buildings (former buildings, I have to admit, it's mostly 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. The smallest building (the "scau" already is kind of inhabitable. So this year will be dedicated to start construction on building number 2 ("il finile") and number 3 (we don't know yet what to use it for).
Jeanette is a designer and carpenter, mother of three and a most wonderful woman anyway,
Maxl is an almost 13 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.

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.

We loved her sense of humor and basically every of her many contributions to the project and everydays life.
She will always be welcome to return!
A very sincere and quiet worker, who, after being introduced to a task, seemed to enjoy working on his own or in a small team as well.
He did a great job in building a DJ pedestal with natural stones, clay mortar and chestnut wood.
His photography is amazing!
Looking forward to having him with us again… read more
Clara ist als Helferin und als Gast ein großartiger Mensch!
Sie hat sich mit ihrer Arbeit bei den Steinterrassen verewigt und darüberhinaus spontan einen absolut umwerfenden Tanzworkshop angeleitet, der die TeilnehmerInnen begeisterte.

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
