    Hi, my name's Laura. We are a family of 5 : my husband , Paolo , our
    10 years old daughter, Diana; Perla 3 y old and a lovely hairy son Penny ( our dog ).

    We are looking for a well educated , responsible reliable and proactive lady who REALLY loves dogs and playing!

    We Like to travel and to know different cultures and habits.
    We love cooking and eating, but we also are an active family. We like walking and cycling, skying and swimming ( depending on the weather and the season of course !!!! )
    We love nature and animals: got a jack Russel that We love so much !!!

    We offer room and board ; Full free wi-fi connection , many advices , a lot of italian language practice ( also english and spanish and portuguese if needed ) and a lot of love 💗


    🍝 🍕🍷🍻 Food, as part of a beautiful Italian tradition, is a very important way to know our Country and appreciate it.
    I’m not bad in cooking 😎 even if we try to eat as cleanest as possible .. My mum is the best chef i know and if you’re lucky, you can taste one of her recipes... so yummy!!!!🤤

    🫡 we have just few basic rules at home :

    🙌🏼 - washing your hands before cooking and touching things in the kitchen and downloading the dishwasher

    🧼 - leave the kitchen clean as you found it after cooking or eating

    👠 - take off your shoes before going upstairs.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We love foreign languages and we speak Italian very well, so if you appreciate to learn our language we can help you with that a lot!!! 🤓

    We love to cook but above all to eat.. so you can enjoy the Italian cooking. 😋🤌🏽🍷🍝

    You can enjoy the beach!🏖️ and the sea 🌊

    There is an italian school for foreigners next to our house so you can also have some italian classes or make a lot of international friends there !!!

    We have a very comfortable accommodation. Big spaces and in the city Center of Viareggio.

    5 minutes far from the sea and the beach.
    In front of a park we call The Pineta which, during the summer , is full of people and attractions.

    In the nearby there are plenty of restaurants , bar, stores and everything you could need is at your fingertips.

    We are really well located and closed to te train station so you go visiting other cities very easily .

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    🛏️ 🛁 We offer a PRIVATE STUDIO which means you’ll have your own little home : your equipped kitchen ( the fridge is very small ) , your bathroom and a comfortable double bed all for your own !
    We know that having some privacy means a lot and we decided to offer this amazing opportunity to our workawayers🫶🏽

    I'd like to underline that our location is really coveted because it is located in the CITY CENTER and I can assure you that this makes a HUGE difference between living in the suburbs and living HERE 😎 or even living in the small neighboring towns as, for example Camaiore, Stiava, Piano di conca, Querceta, Torre del lago, Massarosa, Capezzano
    ect ect.....

    in the past we used to rent this room for 500 Euros per week during summer.. 😎 just to let you know that this has a certain value you should consider !!! 💰



    Talking about Viareggio, we feel lucky to live here because we are near to so many beautiful places to visit !!!
    Pisa ( 20 min by train )
    Lucca ( 20 min by train )
    Florence ( 1 hour by train )
    Le 5 terre !! ( i’m Not sure about the distance but i’m Sure it is easy to reach!!!) and they are amazing!!!

    If you will stay here during January and February, we can show you our amazing Carnival!! 🥳
    A street party that lasts almost one month!!!
    Check on the internet “ Carnival of Viareggio” and you’ll see how amazing it looks like!!!
