Description
Hi, we're Mauro and Christian, a couple living in the countryside in a farmhouse surrounded by a large garden a few kilometers from Treviso. We're renovating our house using eco-friendly materials and trying to do as much as possible with our own hands.
We've created our garden with plants that support bees and pollinators, as sustainability and connection with nature are fundamental values for us. We've also built a natural swimming pool. Our home is humble yet welcoming, reflecting our lifestyle based on simplicity and respect for the environment.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are two sunny and sociable people, always ready to make new acquaintances and enrich our experiences. We are both native Italian speakers, we don't have a good command of English but we are trying to learn it. Christian, in particular, has a good understanding of Spanish, while Mauro has some knowledge of French. Additionally, our neighbors speak various languages, which makes our daily life even more interesting and diverse.
We currently live just 15 kilometers from Treviso and 40 kilometers from Venice and the sea. Our location is ideal, as it allows us to explore many beautiful cities and places nearby. For example, we can easily visit Asolo, a charming village known for its historical beauty, Bassano del Grappa, famous for its wooden bridge and local products, and Castelfranco Veneto, which boasts a rich cultural heritage. We can't forget about the hills of Valdobbiadene, renowned for their vineyards and fine prosecco wine. We are in the plains, and there are beautiful bike rides to enjoy; we also have two bikes available.
Through these cultural exchanges, we are particularly interested in deepening our knowledge of foreign languages and meeting new and inspiring people. We believe that every encounter can bring a valuable lesson and an opportunity for personal growth. We are excited to explore new cultures and broaden our horizons through shared experiences with people from different parts of the world.

Help
We would love to meet people who share our love for outdoor life and a passion for nature. We have a dream: to create an oasis of biodiversity and a refuge for bees and pollinators.
We imagine expanding our garden, planting together new species that nourish these precious insects, designing colorful flower beds and paths that invite discovery. And why not, maybe start a small vegetable garden, to grow together fruits and vegetables that enrich our tables.
We would love to meet curious people eager to learn, who are willing to get their hands dirty and share with us the joy of seeing something beautiful grow. We are not looking for expert gardeners, but kindred spirits, who love nature and the simplicity of country life.
If you like the idea of spending time in a relaxed environment, surrounded by greenery and tranquility, and contributing to a project that is so close to our hearts, we would be happy to meet you!
During you stay here I will offert bed with sheets, shower and shampoo, all the meals (small lunch, big diner) ; I can do vegetarian meals.
There is wifi, a TV and a Bio-pool.

Among our goals, hosting travelers, is to improve our English and Spanish skills, because we too will soon embark on a Workaway experience, traveling with just a backpack.
Accommodation
We offer a double room, although the house is still under renovation and not entirely finished. The bathroom is shared. We are tidy and respectful of common spaces. During the summer, there is also the option to sleep in a tent in the garden and enjoy our natural pool, always ready for a refreshing dip or moments of relaxation surrounded by greenery.
Our diet is omnivorous, but we are happy to prepare vegetarian or vegan meals upon request. We cook together, aiming to accommodate everyone’s preferences and needs.
What else ...
You cannot smoke in the house; we have a cat that. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate pets.
