Description
Experience Tuscany Through Cultural Exchange – Join Us in Casoli!
Ciao! It’s Brian. Since 2018, my husband, Michael, and I have embraced life in the stunning hills of Versilia. We spend most of the year in Casoli (Camaiore), a charming village between the mountains and the sea. It’s a place where time slows down, allowing us to appreciate nature, community, and meaningful work.
Our hearts belong here, on our small, private farmstead. We cultivate the land, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and engage in hands-on projects that connect us to nature and tradition. More than just a home, our place is a meeting point for cultural exchange, where travelers bring their skills, stories, and perspectives, making each visit a shared experience of learning and contribution.
Join Us for an Enriching Experience
If you’re looking for more than just a holiday—if you enjoy getting involved, helping with your hands, and exchanging ideas with like-minded people—we welcome helping hands.
Beyond the physical tasks, this is a space for cultural exchange. Over shared meals, conversations, and laughter, we hope to create a meaningful experience that blends hard work with personal growth and connection.
Who We Welcome
We appreciate respectful, nature-loving travelers eager to contribute and immerse themselves in rural Tuscan life. Our place is best suited for independent, hands-on people who enjoy being part of a project and a community.
⚠️ Please Note: Due to the nature of our property, we cannot host digital nomads, families, or children (for safety reasons and to ensure an engaging experience for everyone).
We travel extensively and aren’t always near an internet connection so that replies may take some time—I appreciate your patience! We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of Tuscany, where we can learn from one another and share in the beauty of this remarkable place.
Benvenuti!
Brian & Michael

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
While living on our farmstead, you will experience the Tuscan countryside's beauty and enjoy the nearby mountains' peace. 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, Carrara, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Pisa, Florence, and Rome.
