  • Description

    Description

    We live in a traditional farmhouse nestled in the green hills of the Bologna countryside, surrounded by nature, woods and vineyards.
    We are Eleonora and Giorgio, and we live here with our beautiful and incredibly affectionate pets.
    We have seven cats and a dog (a Great Dane).
    You’ll love this place because here you can experience nature at its most authentic, just 30 minutes from Bologna’s historic centre.

    Accommodation

    You will have a large double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom at your disposal.

    We believe that mealtimes are a chance for families to come together; the volunteers share our home and help us with the housework and the animals, just as any other member of the family would.

    So eating together is a key part of our routine.

    On the days when we are away, the volunteers will have access to a pantry set aside for them, partly because getting supplies can be difficult if they don’t have their own transport.
