  Description

  Please expect delays in reply since we do travel extensively and are not always
  near internet connections. Thank you for understanding.
  
  We are Brian and Michael, both artists living in Casoli since 2018. While we work in California and travel frequently, we call Casoli our home. Our house is open to a diverse community, and we are LGBTQ-friendly. We welcome all travelers who respect their surroundings and the people they encounter.
  
  As dedicated workers, we're always engaged in a multitude of projects, and we're seeking individuals who are on holiday and eager to contribute their time and expertise to minor projects on the farm. We're particularly interested in workers such as handymen, craftsmen, and traveling workers on holiday with expertise in general construction. (Carpenter, sanitation, forester, gardeners, other farmers) Our daily projects typically span about 3 to 4 hours, leaving plenty of time for relaxation afterward. It's worth noting that we don't have projects every single day, so there's flexibility in scheduling and plenty time off.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You will have the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and enjoy the peace and quiet of the nearby mountains while living and working on our farmstead. A nearby village will provide all your shopping needs, and Wi-Fi on the property will ensure a comfortable and fulfilling experience.
  For those who enjoy sports, there are many activities, such as swimming, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking in the valley, yoga, and more. Additionally, the beach is just a 30-minute drive to Viareggio or Torre de Lago, and there is a mountain creek nearby where you can cool off on hot summer days.
  During your stay, you can visit several nearby cities, including Camaiore, Viareggio, Carara, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Pisa, Firenze, and Rome.
  
  Artists have the quiet to concentrate on their art. Painters, photographers, musicians, and writers often stay with us.
  
  This is not a full-time working day. We expect you to take time for gardens, animals, and plants at most 3 hours a day, but not every day. There is plenty of YOU-Time, set aside.
