Details
Description
Help us do the general maintenance of a house at the foot of the mountains in the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise.
It is a typical mountain house surrounded by nature.
The house was abandoned for 16 years and after about 10 years of work we have almost completely recovered it.
We are right between Rome and Naples, two hours from both cities, but the best connection is from Rome. Two hours by bus - there are more than 10 buses a day, including Sundays and public holidays.
We offer a transfer service from the Sora train station, 20 minutes by car.
The nearest village, Campoli Appennino is 6 km away and has a grocery shop, supermarket, bar and pizzeria.
Update: the restoration work is almost finished.
We got a great deal.
There is still some work to be done, but now we mainly need more help in the garden, cleaning the house and the forest: gardening, cutting firewood and harvesting olive oil in November. Also sand old doors and windows and paint them.
We would also like to host Yoga teachers.

Gabriele welcomed us in the big house that he has been renovating for many years. We helped him around the house six mornings a week with some quite physical works but also with some indoor and outdoor cleaning. We came for olive picking but unfortunately the trees didn't give enough for us to harvest them.

The stay with Gabriel was very nice! We did some cleaning in the mornings and I taught some yoga classes. In the afternoons we enjoyed the sun, went hiking in the mountains and visited the village nearby. The location is very peaceful and restorative. Gabriel is very friendly, as are the two dogs Zeus and Clementine ☺️💗
