Details
Description
We are a fun-loving and cheerful family of three: Sara, Umberto and the eleven years old Paolo. We live in Massa, a beautiful city on the Tuscany coast and our house is 800 meters far from the beach. We like good food, good wine and the company of friends. Sara works as a local police and she loves the pool and seaside.
Umberto works for a telephone company ( sometimes in smart working and sometimes in the office at Pisa or Viareggio) and loves everything that is electronic.
Massa is a 60000 inhabitants city on a gold sandy beach surrounded by the blue sea and the white marble.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The Apuan Alps, protected by the Regional Park, are the perfect destination to do trekking or biking excursions. A nature jewel on the sea, they show rare plants and flowers and they are the perfect place for climbing and spelunking. And how to forget the charming marble quarries? The amazing Cinque Terre are very close and far away only twenty minutes by train. Pisa is 40 kilometres far away and Florence is one hour and a half by train...
Come and you will explore a beautiful and lovely place.

I spent 2 weeks with this family and am very grateful for the experience. It was a great way to have an insight into Italian life, the work expectations were well explained and achievable, and we ate good food together every night. Sara speaks English well and was helpful, kind and accommodating. Thank you!!!

Ian joined us for 4 months and he was very helpful. He is such an open mind and easy going person. Paolo loved him and they had fun together.
Ian is a responsible, well educated man. He helped around the house and our dog Teddy wont forget the long walks with him anymore.
Thank you so much, dear.

Sara is friendly, interesting, chatty, a fantastic cook, and a good friend! I enjoyed her company immensely! She told me of lovely places to visit and nice places to eat in the… read more

Sophie joined us for twenty days. She is a good girl, I can say that she is better doing manual rules, as cleaning the house and taking care of the dog, than managing with kids.
She helped in the house.

I spend one week with the family! They are very open and you feel that they have a lot of experience with aupairs in their house. Paolo is a sweet, enthusiastic and energetic boy. Firstly a bit shy, but soon he will like to play with you. Playing could be anything, from table football, to playing cardgames. He speaks a little English, which makes… read more

Do you want to experience hearty hospitality and a very nice Italian family which you will record like own family? Then you should come to Sara, Umberto and little Paolo! I stayed a little more than two weeks at their house and enjoyed every single day. Sara was an excellent host with a sense of humor even though she was busy with her job and… read more

I absolutely enjoyed my time (1 month) with Sara , Umberto and Paolo !

Every day is different but I could adapt to their daily life quite easily and it will never get boring.
