Description

Hi, I'm a massage therapist/musician, (folk-rock-jazz singer-songwriter), with a recording studio in the foothills of the Umbrian Appenines.

I need help landscaping, fencing, looking after a horse and a donkey, rockwalling, gardening.

In return I offer a fun, peaceful environment, within easy reach of famous Italian art treasure cities, such as Perugia, Siena. Rome, and Florence.

I especially like other musicians visiting, and have many instruments to enjoy!

Vegetarian household.

Michael is a really interesting guy, and a fantastic host. He has a beautiful home and a great way of life.
I had a lot of fun working with him, hanging out and playing music together.
Although my stay was short I and had real swell time and I learnt a lot.
Despite this being my first and only volunteering placement...trust me, this is the guy.

Thanks Michael, good luck with everything.

I spent almost three weeks with Michael and had a blast. He's an awesome guy and a great host. The farm is rather isolated but there is plenty of hilly countryside and small villages to see, and Michael is more than willing to drive to the train stations.

The house is an old farmhouse that has been fixed up very nicely and doesn't lack for anything important. The food is excellent and all organic and vegetation, so very healthy. All the animals are a lot of fun, and everyone of them has quite the personality.

Lots of work to be done, however Micheal is more than reasonable in regards to hours, and has no problem finding something for you that you enjoy.
