Description
The farm was established in 2011 with a vision of efficient self-sustainability. We are located in the Trebbia Valley, which Ernest Hemingway described as 'the most beautiful valley in the world.' We host events, produce lavender and its derivatives (primarily essential oil), and provide boarding for horses. A few years ago, we also started a permaculture project. Our approach is always eco-friendly, making the most of the resources available on the farm.
This year marks our tenth anniversary of hosting volunteers.

Here’s the revised version of your text:
Our farm is situated atop a hill, 600 meters above sea level, offering a breathtaking landscape. The nearest village, with shops and bars, is 9 km away, and there is no public transport service connecting our farm to the village. During their free time, helpers can explore the surrounding mountains or walk down to the river for a swim.
To ensure a genuine help exchange experience, we kindly request that helpers commit to a minimum stay of TWO WEEKS.
The common language spoken among helpers and hosts on the farm is English.
Aide
In 2024, we plan to build a new house—an eco-friendly structure made of wood and straw bales. Currently, we cannot provide a detailed plan or construction timeline, but we aim for the following schedule:
- June: Demolition of the old stone house. We will salvage materials such as stone and wood.
- July - August: An external company will construct the foundation and the wooden frame up to the roof. Meanwhile, we will collect and store straw bales for later use.
- Late August: Self-construction of the house will commence. Throughout autumn, tasks will include installing straw bales in the external walls, building internal walls, and applying external lime coating and internal clay coating. Additional help will involve installing plumbing, electrical systems, doors, windows, flooring, and completing other finishing touches. We plan to organize self-construction courses once we have a clearer idea of the timeline.
In addition to house construction, here are the regular tasks for the upcoming seasons:
- Spring: Maintenance of fences and paddocks, and general repairs. Grass cutting and the construction of a new watering system for the garden are also planned. Gardening activities will continue as usual.
- Autumn: Maintenance and firewood collection in preparation for winter, along with various construction projects.
Due to the construction, we will only harvest a small portion of our lavender field this year.
We always welcome artists and musicians.
Please note that this year, we do not have riding horses available.

Hébergement
Here's your refined text:
Accommodation for helpers consists of a room with two (or more) beds, equipped with a fire stove for the colder months.
Helpers typically dine with the hosts, who primarily prepare Italian cuisine. While our diet is mostly vegetarian, we are not strictly vegetarian; however, vegetarians have never encountered issues with our meals. We appreciate a degree of flexibility. Helpers are always encouraged to cook and share their own traditional dishes, which is greatly appreciated.

This August I've spent two weeks with Roberto, Tiziana and their lovely family. I've enjoyed staying in this cozy place a lot and was fascinated from this view over the hills every day. You can experience a wonderful calmness in this place. There is no street noise at all and you can take a rest while listening to the crickets. All of the pasta… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Anna)
Anna is a lovely girl who brightened our days while she was here. This is the beauty of hosting people, which is not only working and helping but also enjoy the presence of the others. Anna is the one I would host again even without a warning and, one day who knows, in a future trip in US I will change my route to stop by in her place.

Just one week of stay was enough to get involved in Italian culture. While being here I really felt that I was part of the Italian culture, talks with Roberto were perfect and feeling like another person of their close circle of family and friends was the best of this workaway experience. Unfortunately I have to change my plans and left earlier… read more

Having a so wide representative of South America just in a couple it was a great experience. They are kind and available to learn even task they never did. Perhaps a bit shy, but after a while the shyness disappears. Give them the key your kitchen and you'll never regret it.
I hope to see them again.. may be in their restaurant ;-)

This was our first Workaway experience and we are very glad that it was at Roberto's farm, it was amazing. We had a really good time there enjoying our time cooking, talking to Roberto, going to the river to fight the heat on the hottest days, eating good food, spending time with Roberto's wonderful family, relaxing by the farm and of course,… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Lou)
Lou has enough energy to move mountains. Even though I told her to stay in the saloon enjoying the warm atmosphere created by the stove, she went in the lavender field under the rain.
She did a good team-working before with a Japanese lady and later with tho French girls.
Lou is happy, always smiling and is for sure a pleasure to meet her.

I had a wonderful time with Roberto, Tiziana and their family! I was there for three weeks (my first workaway experience), working in the lavender fields (great success when we finally got rid of all the weeds!), riding the fantastic horses, hanging out with the dogs, cutting wood, planting potatoes etc. I felt welcome and comfortable right from… read more

Alphee and Showi brought us their happiness and " joie de vivre".
They immediately integrated in the farm life and acted like one of us.
We had fun together and they helped us concluding an important task which was the weeding and trimming in the lavender fiend.
I miss them and I hope to meet them again. Any other words would be useless.

How can I describe two weeks full of laughs, talks, work in the lavender fields, amazing food, wonderful landscapes, beautiful horse rides and hilarious creative projects in a few words ?
In short, I had a wonderful time with Roberto, Tizianna, Vale and all the family. This was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn't have dreamed of a better… read more

Our time spent with Roberto, Tiziana and all their wonderful friends & family was amazing! They made us feel welcome and at home. We spent time in the lavender field, working in the horse paddock, making new signs, repairing fences, and most importantly loving their awesome dogs! It was a sad good bye. We are going to miss the great meals and… read more

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Richelle & Shawn )
The sad side when you host people like Richelle and Shawn is to say goodby to them. I hope to meet them again sooner or later. Usually in a couple doing workaway one of the two is the leader and the other is a follower, meaning that as a host I end up to like one more than the other. This time we liked Richelle and Shawn in the same way. We all… read more

Danil and Lisa brought in our farm happiness and a bit of Russian culture. They helped us to dismount some stereotype about Siberia which would be a beautiful land. At that time they were at the first workaway experience so we worked a bit to establish a good communication. Their English were improving day by day and even my Russian which is… read more

Roberto, Tiziana and the family, thank you so much for the Italy you gave us. It was a wonderful experience of work, communication and friendship. We enjoyed this life for a month. I am sure that our project will function properly for many years.

We had a fantastic time here, it was one of the highlights of our trip! We learnt how to make straw bale insulation, how to make gnocchi, used all sort of retro farm tractor tools, and observed Roberto's amazing techie DIY lavender extraction process. We learnt so much, ate AMAZING food, had some great chats with Roberto, Tiziana and Maria-Grazie… read more

Nat and Emma stayed among us for one full month. Together we achieved every goal I wished to complete before their departure. We had a fun, we discussed about life in Germany and in New Zealand and last but not least we tasted different type of food, learning new receipts, among them, how to make the peanuts butter. They show us enough self… read more
