  Description

  I was born in Milan and I have traveled the world both for work and leisure. At some point in my life I fell in love with Tuscan nature and lifestyle, so I decided to move to Loro Ciuffenna 4 years ago. The country house is in Arezzo province, on a hill 500 m above sea level and offers an amazing view on Valdarno. I like to host friends and family members to spend time together.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Loads of art and culture at short distance: Firenze, Siena and Arezzo are all within 60/90 minutes drive or easily accessible by train. As part of the cultural exchange, workawayers will enjoy a one-day trip with the host to one of the famous historical locations (Firenze, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona...) at the end of the harvesting. Workawayers will learn how olive oil is made and enjoy typical Italian cuisine, while sharing an informal family atmosphere during their stay.

  Help

  From October 26th to November 9th we will be harvesting our 100 olive trees to make EVO for family consumption. Two workawayers would be welcome to help the host. Activities will run in a friendly and co-operative environment.
