We are a dutch couple, we moved in the 80th to the italian mountains, where we created a little paradise which we like to share with others. A peaceful location well away from towns and cities, our off-grid home is hidden in the hills of northern Italy at the end of a 40 minute uphill walk from the nearest village. It isn't accessible by car.

What a beautiful spot! My daughter and I were able to set up our tent in Marieke and Thymon's garden for a week and we enjoyed it. Everything from previous reviews is correct. It is a bit of a climb up with all your luggage, but it is a beautiful climb and then you arrive at a unique place.
We enjoyed the view, the "barking" of the deer, walks, the outdoor shower, the vegetable garden, the lovely places to read a book, the yoga in the morning, the company, the delicious bread, etc.
How was the contact with the host?
Fantastic! Nice, friendly communication during the booking and once upstairs, everything is done to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
Marieke......thanks again. It was, in one word...a big QWIRKLE.
Tips for new guests?
To go! Enjoy a magical spot in the middle of nature, go swimming in all kinds of pools, walk, eat ice cream in Badalucco, etc etc

Had a very nice stay. Very nice walk! Marieke and Tymon are fantastic!
How was the contact with the host?
Awesome!
Tips for new guests?
There are nice walks nearby. We have mainly followed GR routes via the Komoot app, but Marieke knows the area very well and can certainly advise you.
In Glori (+/- an hour's walk) is a nice restaurant.

Beautiful place, highly recommended! We are aware that we will not often come across such a place in our lives. The walk up is tough, but definitely doable!
How was the contact with the host?
Fantastic! Marieke is a really great hostess. For us it was really the total experience, the place is beautiful and the contact only contributes to that. Very fascinating and lovely people!
Tips for new guests?
Wear good shoes, only bring what is necessary. This was one stop for us during our camping trip and we only had a three-burner gas fire with us, quite spicy to drag up the mountain 😅 So maybe think of a smaller fire.

Everything was so nice! The cabin, the location, the host! I would recommend this place to everyone. You can hike up to the top, and also there is a nice hiking route nearby. At the latter, you will walk next to the river which is beautifull. I stayed for 3 or nights, but it could have been longer. Definitely worth going here!!
How was the contact with the host?
great

After a brisk walk (very brisk) you get to the top and the walk is worth it. The view is breathtaking and Marieke is very welcoming. You can also cool off in an outdoor shower. Very quiet and beautiful place, away from all the hustle and bustle. We definitely recommend this place!
How was the contact with the host?
The contact went very smoothly. We even got a description of how to get to the sleeping place and where to park the car.
Tips for new guests?
Don't pack too heavy!
Be sure to go for a swim at the swimming area close to the car!

It is a lovely place to stay for a few days. The 40-minute trip is doable and the place to sleep is basic but wonderful. The tranquility makes you naturally relax.
How was the contact with the host?
Marie is a super host. She immediately makes you feel welcome.
Tips for new guests?
Make sure you have good shoes when you start the trek and make sure you are upstairs before dark.

Great location, a tough walk if you're packed, but when you get there it's more than worth it! Super sweet owners, who also think along very well! I can no longer say that it was above expectations and an experience not to be forgotten. (If possible, join us. Marieke makes the tastiest dishes with vegetables from her garden)
How was the contact with the host?
Super! Very nice people who think along!
