  Description

  We are an Italian family of 4, living in the countryside Imperia just between Bordighera and Perinaldo, in a beautiful place between the pines, looking at the sea.
  We both are landscape architects and we run a family business with project and build gardens, we also have a little plant nursery all settled in the countryside of Torino.We moved to the beach 2.5 years ago and we are finally building the house of our dreams, with eco materials, a lot of energy in the garden trying to making sustainable action thanks also to the beautiful wheater here.
  We love plants and nature. We have two kids of 7 and 8 years who spend a lot of time with us in the wood or in the water! We are into very natural gardens that s also why we are builing a beautiful natural swimmingpool which works great and give us a lot of joy in all seasons! We also have a sauna and we use it a lot! in the past years, in our old house,we started a project of food forest so we planted hundreads of little fruits plants and we also had 18 families of bees, just for pleasure, we love to share and not seel fruits or honey.
  We would love to also start a little family chickens coop with 8-10 chicken but we are aware we need more help to do it all, so before to start it all and then let it go we would like to see if someone is interested in trying this adventure with us and see if and how it works. We would love someone who can give a hand in builiding ( of course we have a regular enterprise who is in charge of all), keeping the chicken, mantain the vegetable garden, building new areas of the garden!
  
  ate the moment we have an apartment in the town in soldano which is free for you to stay while the period of work, if you are wild you can also stay in a free cottage we builted directly on site, with amazing view and open air kitchen. let s see what works better!

  Accommodation

  we have a little apartment in Soldano(IM), all furnished as a regular house, in this case it s better if you have a car or a scooter as it is 5 km (45min by walk) away from the garden site.
  If you feel to be rock and roll there is a tiny house on site with a double bed and a stove and toilet and kitchen outside!

  What else ...

  Soldano is cozy rocky town 5 mins from the beach. we are very close to Bordighera if you like the beach, or to Perinaldo where amazing woods and mountain paths are there to discover the beautiful "entroterra" on Liguria.
  We are surronded by an amazing community of travellers, expat and farmer which is costantly meeting and fermenting to give life to a more natural life. Welcome to come in!
