Descripción
We are Torben and Klaartje (= Claire), a Dutch couple living in Umbria, Italy, since 2008. We have 2 daughters of 13 and 16 years old. We set up our own business here in Umbria 16 years ago, and have been renting out our big villa - consisting of 7 holiday apartments with a communal pool - to mainly Dutch and Belgian tourists ever since.
Apart from hosting tourists for 6 months a year, we also set up an exporting business to Holland and Belgium, 13 years ago. Through our webshop , we now export our own extra vergine olive oil (that we pick in november) and more than 100 different Umbrian wines.
To help us out with all our activities, and because we like to meet people from all around the world, we have asked many, many helpers to stay with us for 13 years now, during our busiest times. We have made some dear friends because of Workaway, so we love this way of 'exchanging cultures'.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

We like for them to experience the Italian countryside, visit the nearby cities, maybe tell them how to start your own business (with the honest stories of how it really is to own a B&B in Italy and be hosts).

Right now (end of January 2024) we are preparing for our 17th season, that will start the 19th of April. And there is always lot’s to be done!
We are working in the garden, getting everything trimmed, cut en raked, to make it all look nice again after the winter period. We are doing all sorts of chores in and around the house, repairing stuff in the guests apartments. Also we are doing lots of painting inside and outside.
Anyone with two right hands and who wants to help out in the garden (raking, cutting back bushes, building small fences, trimming plants, etc) or is handy around the house can contact us!Idiomas hablados

In this period of the year, Casa is closed to guests. So the Workawayers will stay in our regular guest apartments.
Algo más...
In their time off helpers can go explore the neighbourhood, lovely cities all around us, most reachable by train or bus. Daytrips to Rome and Florence are also easy!
