    Help

    In this days my husband is very ill and I have to take him quite often to hospital for therapies, so please understand that sometimes is not really a holiday... You may help in many ways, all of them in turn or just in what you feel like : gardening, housekeeping, doggy-care, permaculture, vegetable garden. I am very easy, so you choose the way: may be half a day or a full day in order to have some days off to visit Venice or to do whatever you like.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I live in an old farmhouse, you will stay in the same house with me and my husband ( when we are at home), there are two more double rooms, three common bathrooms. I only cook vegan/ vegetarian food, but you are free to use the big kitchen if you like, you can share this space with us or stay on your own. Although the house is in the country there is a main road very close, sometimes annoing to me. Smoking is not allowed inside.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The town is just at 2km, there is a train station, you can easily reach Venice, Padova, Treviso, Udine e Trieste in one hour ... and my very big love... the Dolomites in two! if you prefer the sea it is just 20 min by car. But of course you can also stay quietly here with my dogs, good yoga, good music
