Hi :-)
I live in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany. Near Florence, Assisi, Perugia, Siena, Rome. I am American and Italian. With my husband and 2 dogs. I could use a little help with all of them. Also I enjoy sharing my new country with you. You would have a bedroom and bathroom. I frequent other expats in the surrounding area. You would have excellent opportunities to explore Tuscany and practice both English and Italian.
I am available to host one person or a couple.
Ciao!

Vom Workawayer (Dobrinka) für Host

I am thankful to Grace and Gian Carlo for welcoming me in their home. During the first week, I was alone with their two good and well-behaved dogs - Abbey and Gino, afterwards they came back. I was accommodated in a room with a private bathroom and the most wonderful view in the world! Every morning I greeted the sunrise, unfolding before me like… read more

David was fabulous,,,I wish we will be as lucky next time we need a house sitter. During our 2 months away not once did he need help with the mechanics of the house. He befriended all our friends and they are still in touch today. David also was able to speak with Gian Carlo in Italian as well. Good Luck to David and Jane in the next decade with… read more

I spent two months at Grace's home taking care of the house, yard and two awesome dogs while the owners were away. It was a fantastic experience. The owners are lovely people, the little town is very nice with an awesome bar, an award winning osteria, and a minimarket. I had a rental car while I was there, and while you could survive without a… read more

We spent a whole month in Marciano della Chiana, a lovely village surrounded by a wonderful landscape and interrested places. But our stay would surely not have been as pleasant without our hosts ! Unfortunately, we did not have the chance to spend more time with Grace, but enough to say that she is a funny and generous person ; she was willing to… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and I couldn't have been luckier! I had a lovely time staying with Grace, Giancarlo, Giuseppina, Tine and Denise. I felt like part of the family and I'm happy to have found a home away from home.

Everyday we would help Giuseppina with the morning and night routine. She is a very warm and friendly lady. We… read more

I got back 2 days ago from my first Workaway trip, 3 weeks in Grace’s lovely home in Marciano in Tuscany. It was a real privilege to stay with the family who treated me like family, even kindly including me in a magnificent family birthday party.

It was lovely being part of the every day lifestyle with Grace and her family. Although I could only stay one week, we

Grace's home is a good place for you who want an intimate acquaintance with Tuscany and practice American English and Italian at the same time.
Grace and her husband Giancarlo gave me a warm welcome picking me up at the train station in Arezzo on arrival, even if it was late on a Sunday evening. They live in a rural area, in a semidetached stone… read more built house with a huge garden surrounded by acres and farmland, so you would wake up to the sound of a rooster and birds singing. They live together with Grace's 102 year old mother and two dogs. Graces mother is a lovely old lady, still rather self sufficiant, walking up and down the staircase on her own.
From the first day I felt I was treated as a family member. I had my own spacious bedroom, and the privilege of sharing the bathroom with the old lady. I really appreciated her confidence allowing me to arrange her hearing aid, preparing her a cup of tea or tucking a blanket around her when she was relaxing in her armchair watching TV. She communicates in both English and Italian and is very easy to get along with.
Grace expects her workawayer to keep her with company. She takes great pride in showing you the area, and together we went to many interesting places like Lucigniano, Foiano, Norcia, Pienza, Rapellano, Orvieto, Cortona and Siena. We would be accompanied by her mom whenever possible, taking her age and weather conditions into account. Grace appreciates that you go to explore on your own as well, so I spent some days on solo excursions and went on bike rides, or to Florence and Peruggia. Grace is an excellent cook who prepares warm meals every day and she loves to go out for lunch, so I got a decent insight in Italian food. She is an expert on gnocchi and provided a private cooking class for me, so I will put the recipe in practice when I return to Norway. Grace has a lot of friends and acquaintances who came over for lunch, or we met them in various places, so I got to know a lot of new people during my stay. Everybody was very kind and welcoming.
Grace's husband Giancarlo is a kind man, working every day and spending only evenings and week-ends at home. He speaks Italian only, and, being very social, he made me listen, read and finally talk after a couple of days. My expectations on language practice were met with 100%. If you want to learn to speak Italian this is definitely a good place to go! I helped him 2 sunny days to pick olives and really liked this kind of agricultural experience. He also showed me how the olives are processed to oil, and the taste of the virgin oil on toasted bread was delicious. He presented me to his Italian branch of the family and took me on excursions to the antique market of Arezzo, a concert, a mass and the exposition of the agriturisme.
I would definitly recommend this place for a workaway stay. Welcoming hosts, no hard work, a nice house, possibilities enough to explore Tuscany - you cannot ask for more. Thank you, Grace and Giancarlo, for your hospitality. I am sad to leave and hope you will find a new workawayer who keeps you with company in your lovely home. And welcome to Norway at any time!
