Description
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. Last year, we got married. 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 hardworking individuals, we strive to give our best daily and are constantly immersed in various projects. Therefore, we are looking for someone who can be an excellent addition to our world during their stay with us. We have a strong network and are always willing to assist others.

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.
Help
We can use some assistance with the veggie garden, planting, watering, and weeding.
General maintenance of the property like helping cut grass, making wood, and other smaller projects.
