  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.
