Ssshh… I’m playing hide and seek! I am in a magical house in Francavilla Marittima, a small village among the hills that smell of olive trees and salty winds. Here the houses smell of ancient times.

My name is Achille, I am an elegant Siamese with some experience in comfy cushions and sunny windows. Today I tell you about my exploration of my possible future residence… a house of our own, or almost, in Lodrone. As soon as I arrived, I immediately noticed one important thing: independent.
