Description
Welcome to our little corner of "paradise" in the hinterland of Liguria! Our house, surrounded by greenery, offers a perfect refuge for those seeking tranquility and nature, or for those who simply have no better alternatives!
Just 10 minutes from the "picturesque" village of Campo Ligure, 30 minutes from the sea (if you survive the journey) and 50 minutes from the center of Genoa (when the traffic is not terrible), our friendly farmhouse will be happy to host you!
You'll meet Mirna, a frustrated nurse who retired to this "paradise" a few years ago with her son Andrea, a misunderstood writer and chemistry student in a perpetual existential crisis. Often are here Etienne and Iris, actors and musicians who haven't yet understood the concept of a real job. But they might be onto something else!
On special occasions, our wonderful space have also hosted gatherings and workshops of various disciplines, from Theatrical Improvisation to Music Jams, for those lucky enough to have some time to waste!
We will be happy to help you explore the surroundings (if you find something interesting) or let you enjoy the tranquility of the place (until you get bored out of your mind).
If for some absurd reason you fall in love with this place like us, we will be happy to help you build your own dedicated space in nature, to which you can return!
We are not a business, this is our home. We look forward to welcoming you and working together to give life to this mediocre corner of paradise!

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We are great lovers of cinema and art, so you'll find us playing, drawing and building all the time!
All of these things can be taught, along with growing, plant care, and furniture making skills!
Together we can do different things, not only to learn, but also to have fun.
We're sure we'll find ways to inspire each other!
Aide
With your help, we would love to work towards improving the external environment! We have lots of ideas on how to make this place amazing, however so far, they remain just ideas!
If you choose to join us, you can expect to engage in a variety of hands-on activites including building fences (that ideally don't collapse at the first wind), clearing the surrounding woods (which desperately need a haircut), beautifying and reorganizing the areas around the house, and creating small pitches and paths so we can better explore our surrounds!
We value creativity and would love you to join us in building everything and anything that could make this place even more beautiful. Most of the furniture is built by us, so any help and advice is welcome!
We are looking for creative and practical people who want to help us improve our home and surrounds. Whether you are a carpenter, a bricklayer, a plumber, a painter or simply eager to lend a hand, try something new and maybe learn a thing or two - you will find a welcoming and stimulating environment here... or at least, not hostile!

Hébergement
We host in two shared houses and several tent spaces for adventurers (good luck!).
If bugs bug you, you'll overcome that fear for sure, and if you don't mind a little ash on your food, you can even cook outdoors!
At the moment we can accommodate solo travellers, couples or small groups, but we aim to expand the capacity and privacy of guests in the future, building independent rooms and living spaces!
And for this, we need your help!
Autres infos...
Relax in hammocks of dubious stability or under a sun that will make you miss the city!
We are surrounded by lush greenery, lakes and dairies where you can taste local products without shame, and the woods are dotted with paths that will take you... nowhere!
We have a tiny pool where you can cool off with some local frogs, and you will spot wild animals such as hawks and roe deer, and you will be able to cuddle our cats, who will probably ignore you.
In summer, the small surrounding villages come alive with food fairs and music festivals, if you can find them.
In autumn, picking mushrooms and chestnuts will offer you an excellent excuse to return home empty-handed!
