Description
We are a bi-lingual and bi-cultural British/Italian family made up of Charlotte, Claudio and our two children (aged 18 and 16). Our family lives in the small hilltop village of Montefegatesi in the Apennine mountains in northern Tuscany. Charlotte is a life coach and also helps in the family building business. As well as building, Claudio teaches judo, volunteers with the Red Cross and is very involved with the local community. We also spend quite a lot of time taking the kids to their various activities and having family fun. Oh and in our spare time we are finishing building our new home! So, we have quite a bit going on.
Right now we are looking for someone to help us take care of Claudio's parents by spending some time with them, helping with cleaning, cooking and general care and just to be there to support Claudio's mother who is well but unable to care for her husband and brother in law by herself.
We would like someone who can at least get by in Italian.

They live in an amazing place, so a big part of the workaway experience, was to see the life in a village dating back to the middle ages, still fully alive today!

I had the absolute pleasure to spend 7 weeks with Charlotte, Claudio and her lovely family in the village of Montefegatesi during the summer holidays.
I couldn’t have asked for a better family and a better experience and truly miss them all and wish I could have stayed for longer. This is a truly Italian experience and I must mention Charlotte… read more

We spent almost two months with Charlotte and her family in Montefegatesi in July/August, and had an amazing time. The family live in a truly stunning part of Tuscany that is well worth a visit. As hosts, Charlotte and Claudio were extremely capable and made us feel welcome in their home and amongst their family and friends from the very first… read more

The only thing that was disappointing was the short length of Alex's stay! We would have loved to have had her with us for much longer. Alex is so easy to have around, hard working and easy to talk to. She is mature, yet fun and we hope she will come and visit before she leaves Europe!

I don't think I can say enough good things about my stay in Montefegatesi with Charlotte and her family. The whole situation is just very ideal for workaway, I would say. You put in your five hours of work for the day, and then you are able to "go home" to the workaway house which is right around the corner and relax for a bit. Also, there are… read more

Charlotte is truly a sweet and compassionate woman. I am so thankful for the experience I was able to have with her and her family, and I never imagined to be welcomed in the way that I was. I felt at home from the second I met them. They gave me a taste of what "village life" is, and I couldn't have loved it more. Their family and Montefegatesi… read more
