  • Description

    Description

    We are a family and we live in Umbria, the green lung of Italy, in an old characteristic country house that 2 centuries ago was a furnace. We have 2 hectares of land around the house with a little vegetable garden, 30 olive's tree, flowers and many beautiful trees.
    Currently Mimì, Lorenzo, Lea, Ulisse and Serena are living here. We love nature, music and art.

    We are exploring the technique of regenerative agroculture to grow veggies and fruits.

    We would like to plant many more fruit trees.
    Lorenzo Is an artist, so we will be happy to host artist too.

    Help

    I need someone who comes to help in general and who would be part of our small projects, which helps to take care of the garden (vegetable or no vegetable) and the house when necessary.
    Depending on seasonal needs, it will be necessary to prepare the soil, plant vegetables, prune olives, pick olives, cut the lawn, clean up shrubs, etc. in addition to the general daily care of the garden and the house.

    Our garden is small, we do not have so many olive trees so in any case it is never a matter of long and heavy tasks. We are planning to clean a party of the garden that need It.

    Accommodation

    we offer accomodation in a comfortable tent with bed (under the shade of the olive trees) or in a small roulotte during summer.
    When it's colder season we have a room avilable in the house.
    All food is included, generally organic and fresh, and we will share meals. Normally we cook all together for everyone.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Explore Umbria with me or alone, taking advantage of the special naturalistic beauty of the region and its historic villages such as Assisi, Perugia or Spello.
    We live on the edge of a small but beautiful forest but at the same time in a strategic position not so far from Perugia ( 10 km) and Assisi (10 Km).
    There are few buses that connect my house to Perugia, Assisi and the nearest train station but we are always available to organize with you for moving around and to help you for going out.
