    Description

    Hi! We are in a country house on the hills of Itri, a small town near the sea, famous for its olives. We have about a hectare of land, mostly terraced, planted with olive trees and a few fruit trees.

    We're currently looking for help with:
    - Aromatic herb garden
    - Orchard
    - Small vineyard

    The projects we're currently seeking help with are:
    - Creating an aromatic garden
    - Creating a vegetable garden
    - Painting exterior walls
    - Designing and building a barbecue

    Artist residency - We also offer hospitality to those who wish to develop an artistic project! We offer hospitality in exchange for works to be exhibited, either temporarily or permanently.

    We always have something to do in the countryside, so even if you're inexperienced, don't worry; extra help is always welcome!


    Ciao! La nostra è una casa di campagna tra le colline di Itri, un piccolo paese vicino il mare, famoso per le sue olive. Abbiamo circa un ettaro di terreno organizzato principalmente a terrazzamento come uliveto e con qualche albero da frutta.

    Al momento i progetti in cui cerchiamo aiuto sono:
    - creazione di un giardino aromatico
    - creazione di un orto
    - tinteggiare muri esterni
    - progettare e costruire un barbecue

    Residenza artistica - offriamo ospitalità anche a chi vuole realizzare un progetto artistico! Offriamo ospitalità in cambio di opere da esibire sia temporaneamente che permanentemente.

    In campagna abbiamo sempre qualcosa da fare quindi anche se non hai esperienze non preoccuparti, una mano in più è sempre ben accetta!

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are located in the hills, just a few minutes from Gaeta and Sperlonga, which are very popular summer destinations thanks to their beautiful beaches. In addition to the natural beauty of the area, we would like to promote and share the cultural side that this region has to offer. We are curious and welcoming people, and our interests range from visual art to yoga. We would love to share our home with people who want to share their stories and knowledge with us.

    Siamo in collina a pochi minuti da Gaeta e Sperlonga, mete molto ambite nel periodo estivo per le belle spiagge. Oltre l'aspetto naturalistico ci piacerebbe promuovere e diffondere il lato culturale che questo territorio ha da offrire. Siamo persone curiose e accoglienti e i nostri interessi spaziano dall'arte visiva allo yoga. Ci piacerebbe condividere la residenza con persone che hanno voglia di condividere con noi le loro storie e saperi.

  • Help

    Help

    We welcome any type of help: from garden maintenance to small renovations or redevelopment of outdoor spaces.
    We have 130 olive trees, and during the olive harvest season, an extra hand is always needed!

    Artist Residencies - We're happy to host anyone with an artistic project and would like to realize it with us in exchange for hospitality.

    We have a large kitchen available where workers can cook independently.

    Meals are free, but it would be nice to share dinner or lunch together sometimes. We love cooking, but we'd also love to learn new recipes!

    Important: Ideally, you'd come by car. We're not far from the main road, but there are a few buses that only go in two directions. A car is necessary to explore the area and be independent.

    Accettiamo qualsiasi tipo di aiuto: dalla manutenzione del verde a piccoli lavori di ristrutturazione o riqualificazione degli spazi esterni.
    Abbiamo 130 ulivi e nel periodo della raccolta delle olive una mano in più serve sempre!

    Residenze artistiche - Siamo felici di ospitare chi ha un progetto artistico e vuole realizzarlo da noi in cambio di ospitalità.

    Abbiamo una grande cucina a disposizione dove gli workers possono cucinare autonomamente.
    I pasti sono liberi ma sarebbe bello condividere qualche volta la cena o il pranzo insieme. Ci piace cucinare ma vorremmo anche conoscere nuove ricette!

    Importante: l'ideale sarebbe venire in macchina. Non siamo molto lontani dalla strada principale ma ci sono pochi bus che portano solo in due direzioni. Per visitare la zona ed essere autonomi la macchina è necessaria

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Accommodations for workers may vary depending on the season. We can accommodate workers on the upper floor of the villa when it's not rented. The upper floor consists of a separate apartment with three bedrooms, all with private bathrooms and air conditioning, a living room with a dining area, and a small, fully equipped kitchen.
    When the upper floor is rented, we can accommodate workers on the lower floor (where we live), in a room with a private bathroom or in a room with a shared bathroom.

    La sistemazione per i workers può variare dai periodi. Possiamo ospitare al piano superiore della villa quando non è affittata. Il piano superiore consiste in un appartamento indipendente composto da tre camere, tutte con bagno privato e condizionatore, un salottino con zona pranzo e una piccola cucina fornita di tutto.
    Quando il piano superiore è affittato possiamo ospitare al piano inferiore (dove viviamo noi), in una camera con bagno privato o in una camera con bagno in condivisione.
