About the host
Hosted by Alessandro Deviato
We’re an adventurous family of four who love spending time outdoors and exploring all the beauty Vancouver Island has to offer. Whether it’s hiking, camping, climbing, or beachcombing, we’re usually outside making the most of every season. I’m a lifelong soccer fan and still love, while my partner enjoys yoga and trail running through the island’s many forest trails. Our two girls are full of energy and curiosity—they love gardening, rock climbing, and biking around the neighbourhood. Hosting gives us the chance to share a bit of our nature-filled lifestyle with others by allowing them to use our home as a base for island adventures.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it's centrally located on Vancouver Island, making it the perfect base for all kinds of island adventures. Whether we’re heading to the mountains, the beach, or exploring nearby towns, everything feels within easy reach. We're just a short drive from the airport, BC Ferries Duke Point, and Departure Bay terminals, which makes travel incredibly convenient. At the same time, the area has a quiet, rural charm that we love—surrounded by forest, fresh air, and a peaceful sense of space. It’s the best of both worlds: easy access to everything, with the tranquility of a nature-filled setting.
What makes this property unique
Our property is a magical, nature-filled oasis that offers a peaceful and private retreat from the busyness of city life. Tucked away among massive cedar trees and vibrant flora, it feels like a hidden sanctuary. You'll hear the sounds of roosters and nearby horses, spot hummingbirds and eagles above, and often see bunnies grazing on the lawn. The property includes a beautiful food garden, berry bushes, and fruit trees—guests are always welcome to help themselves to a taste of what's in season!
What makes our place truly unique is its old-world charm, with distinctive German-style architecture and custom rockwork that give it character and warmth. While it’s not perfect, we’re slowly and lovingly bringing it back to its former glory, one project at a time. The space is full of soul and history, offering a cozy, authentic experience in a quiet, natural setting.
