  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  we can share our passion for italian food and culture, and teach you some italian of course, there are also italian classes for foreigners at walking distance october to may. our house is filled with books (IT EN FR) and books can be borrowed for free from the public library too. we can teach cooking and cat ethology. we have been travelling quite a lot and we have a good knowledge of different cultures and approaches to daily life. please note that during summer time we normally do not spend much time at home, we may therefore not stay as many days together as in the different seasons of the year. when none of us is at home, we offer accomodation but not meals. when we are not at home in summer, we may host more than one workawayer if you want to spend holidays in the area with a friend. school in italy is closed mid june to mid sept.

  Aide

  We need help with daily activities, wake up and breakfast for my son (in order to make sure he is off in time for school), taking care of cats and cleaning/reordering the house like a family member. you may do gardening too.
  It is very important for us that our guests can independently manage and respect the house, be eco-friendly (no useless waste of water, light, paper, food etc) and be very careful with the cats as they are not allowed outside.
  Please note that my son is a teen, in full bloom, it is a challenge to manage him and have him his tasks done at times. He is very creative, active, independent, but he dislikes rules.
  We are willing to teach italian, but it is important for our son to learn other languages, so when he is at home we prefer not to speak full time italian with our guests.
