Description
We are Elisa, Tosca, and Isidoro - 3 siblings - of Italian-American-German nationality. We were born and raised in they countryside of a charming village called Genga (in the Marche region). We spent our childhood immersed in nature and surrounded by animals. We grew up with WOOFERS and workawayers staying with us, and would like to continue to do so.
Our "casa nel bosco" built by our father when he moved to Genga thirty years ago, holds great significance for us.
Sadly, our Dad (also a workawayer host) recently passed away.
We are looking for a workawayer or two to stay there and basically do some small jobs to keep the place looking nice and to just be there to keep an eye on things.
This could be a good opportunity for someone writing a book, an artist, or someone who would like to spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of today's world.
We would really like the workawayer/s who is/are independent.
We will supply some basic food essentials when you get here; after that, you will need to procure your own food.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You (and your friends/partner/family) will be living there alone. We live not to far away and will come by to visit. Of course we are always available to help you with any questions you have. Here you can live in harmony with nature, enjoy the silence, and create your little green space in Italy. It would be best if you have some means of transport (the closest shop is about 8 km away).
Help
We need help with the maintenance of the exterior of the house. Specifically, tasks include cutting the grass, picking up debris around the house, painting, organizing the tool shed, and looking after two semi-stray cats.
If you're interested, you can also cultivate fruits and vegetables.
While there is a lot of work that "could" be done here, nothing "must" be done.
We will show you a number of things that "should" be done here and then you decide whatever project makes you happy.
The work hours are very flexible.
This workaway experience is more of a housesit since we do not live there. However, we live not to far away and will definetely have some time to do something together.

Accommodation
Located 2 km down a dirt road, our two-story house, has a kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms, and 2 bedroom. There is no central heating. To warm the space, you'll need to use the stove. We have one very friendly neighbor (although they are not always there). The house is surrounded by nature. There are plenty of trees for you to hang up your hammock
What else ...
It would be best if you have a car because the bus stop is located 4 km from our place. If you are the adventurous type, you could also live here with your legs as your means of transport and hitchike into town. Within a 1 hour driving radius you have the beach, pretty villages like Fabriano, Gubbio, Assisi, and the Frasassi Caves.
