  • Description

    Description

    We are Alessia and Gianluca, and we are thrilled to open the doors of our home in beautiful Southern Italy through the Workaway program. Coming from creative backgrounds - Gianluca as a social media manager and Alessia as an art-loving graphic designer - we both share a passion for travel, discovering new cultures, and sharing meaningful experiences with people from around the world. Having had Workaway experiences elsewhere, we feel the desire to reciprocate the hospitality and offer a warm and inspiring environment for other travelers.

    Our home is located in the picturesque village of Gagliato, in the province of Catanzaro, in Calabria. Here, you can immerse yourself in the everyday life of Southern Italy, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, ancient history, and rich traditions. Our welcoming community will make you feel right at home, while you have the opportunity to explore the natural and cultural beauties of the region.

    We are certain that your presence will enrich our lives as much as we hope to enrich yours. Beyond the practical tasks, we share a passion for good food, so prepare to delight your palate with authentic Calabrian dishes prepared with fresh and genuine local ingredients.

    We are eager to meet you and share with you all that our beloved Calabria has to offer. If you are ready for an unforgettable experience of exploration, creation, and sharing, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be delighted to welcome you to our home and our community.
