My home was originally a farm villa, built in 1880. When I came to Australia from Italy I fell in love with it's colonial character - solid bluestone construction and 13 foot ceilings. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and lots of living space.
My 4 children have all grown up in this home and since flown the nest. I enjoy hosting people from every corner of the globe in my home as travelling has always been a passion of mine.
I have a very large garden where I also keep 4 chickens who lay fresh eggs every day. I love cooking, and I love to share my knowledge of the local area with visitors. My home is very close to transport links to all of Adelaide and beyond.
Additional Info
There is secure parking available, and I speak fluent Italian as well as English. Free secure WiFi is also included.
