    Description

    Hi, I am Massimiliano and I live together with my business partner Riccardo, Our dogs Haka and Eco,
    that live with us in a beautiful location up in the hills in the
    north of Italy, surrounded by nature and vineyards.
    We live with what we produce by looking after some animals,
    (chickens, a bull, and two cows) our vegetable patch, our wineyards and our natural wines.

    This is a special place and we are introducing interesting and new
    experiences.


    This is really peaceful and isolated place, although we are only few
    minutes away from the nearest village and less than 1hour driving
    from Milan.
    We enjoy life away from the hectic routine and we have fun by
    playing music and cook many different dishes.
    I am a keen cook and I like to try new recipes, drink good
    wine and watch wonderful sunsets.
    I also host people in my house, with rural hospitality formula. We cook and eat with them and exchange ideas, thoughts and laughs.

    Our workawayers Will help only in community share space, like house, patch garden, common space. They wont help in our business job./wont have to clean in paid guest spaces

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are very open to any culture, religion and beliefs. From our travels we have learn how beautiful are differences and how much you can learn from people who live differently from us.
    We live in an amazing area although we come from other parts of Italy.
    We love our origins and we are proud to let people discover our workd and our roots.
    We have also embraced the traditions of the place where we live so,who comes here will have a full immersion of what is the Italian life style, together with some internationalisation 😁
    We like to go out for pizza or karaoke night and meet up with friends or go for a walk and swim in the river.

    Help

    We would like to have helpers here first of all for cultural exchange, we both have travel extensively and now that we are here we would like to bring a bit of the outside world in our environment.
    The help that we require would be the one that we do day by day: looking after the animals, the family vegetables patch and gardening, cleaning.
