Introduction

We are a dutch/italian couple living in a simple [not totally finished] comfortable straw bale house. Our dog Corto doesn't like to travel. So we are looking for sitters that like to experience living between the straw bales, to make walks

Home & location

We live in Santa Caterina [GR] Tuscany, since we started building our straw bale house 10 years ago. The house has a sitting-sleeping-kitchen openspace, 2 bathrooms, a separated bedroom for our guests. The sitters will use the guest room
