Born in a village on the Belgian country side, I grew up in nature. Already as a young boy I wanted to help the neighbors with their garden and I loved going to my grandmothers house to help her cooking!
It was in the local windsurf club, on the little lake near my village where I sat my first steps on a windsurf board and this was the beginning of my passion for board sports; Any kind of surfing in the summer and in winter I love to "surf" in the mountains in deep powder... .
In love with cooking and surfing, I started working for surf- and ski companies and that is where I met Nina. Together we started our Casa Maono project...

As a busy cook and a ski school manager, we learned the importance of listening to your body, to take a break once in a while and to respect your body, mind and soul. For this we strongly believe in the power of yoga and sports as essential elements in life. So we want to create a place where you can calm down, relax and enjoy and we offer you as well many activities such as yoga, walks on the fishermen trail, surf lessons... .

It is with pleasure that we will welcome you at Casa Maono - to join us for a tasty meal, a good wine, a little yoga or surf session or just to hang out in our garden and house!
