Casa Calénc · About us

Piacere, we are Esther and Wouter!

For years we dreamed of one day living in Italy. Not just in any house under the Italian sun, but in a place where we would truly feel at home.

We found that at Casa Calénc, in the small hamlet of Cossure near Sogliano al Rubicone. The old stone walls, the nature surrounding us and that stunning view over the hills. We knew it straight away: this is it!

Our story

A dream that became reality

What appeals to us so much about Casa Calénc is the outdoor life. The birds you can hear, the view that changes with the seasons and those wonderful evenings when you simply don't want to go inside yet. A place where time seems to slow down all by itself.

Esther

Esther loves the outdoors, hiking, gardening and cooking with fresh ingredients. She has an eye for detail and loves creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Above all, she finds joy in the little things: a cup of coffee in the morning sun, working in the kitchen garden or lingering over long, convivial evenings throughout the year.

Wouter

Wouter is the host and all-round handyman at Casa Calénc. Always busy making sure everyone is happy! He is passionate about sport, with goalkeeping as his greatest passion. But he is just as delighted by the Italian way of life: great food, soaking up the atmosphere and above all living life the Italian way.

And together we love to head out with our dog Pia. Walking, discovering new places, and stopping somewhere for a good meal along the way. We never get tired of Italy!

For us, la dolce vita, the enjoyment, is found in those ordinary moments.
