Description
My wife Marina (Mohini) and I, Roberto (Rohini), have purchased a double house at the feet of a hill on the Euganean hills area near Padova. The town is called Lozzo atestino and it's one hour drive distance from Venice. The area is amazing for trekking and walking. We have bicycles that can be used by our guests. The thermal area of Abano and Montegrotto thermes is very close. There are few buses everyday connecting with the city of Padua. Train station to come here is either Padua or Este.
Regarding the house, there are few minor tasks required, painting, fillig up libraries, wardrobes, gardening etc. We are looking for a non smoker male or female preferable vegetarian or vegan. You'll have your private bathroom and bedroom. Soon there'll be also a private kitchen. A handy person or a person willing to learn new things would be preferred. We have been around the world and we are very open to different cultures. Few years ago we were cooperating in a farm in Sweden, where many volunteers used to come, we have learned how to host people in a way that can be fruitful for both, hosts and workawayers. Any question please feel free to ask.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are practicing bhakti yoga and Krishna consciousness. There is a yoga temple nearby and we visit there from time to time. Workawayers will learn, if they desire, the ancient philosophy of India regarding meditation, yoga, karma and reincarnation together with a very constructive and deeper meaning of life. As far as the project we can learn new skills together and share our experiences.
Help
We need some help in wall painting, gardening, decorating, windows restoration, furniture moving and other easy household projects. I'll always be around here so we'll have time to learn new things together.

Accommodation
Guests will have their own bathroom and bedroom. Kitchen will be shared in the beginning and eventually there'll be two separate kitchens so one can be used exclusively by the guests. We'll usually cook for all and any help well be of course very welcome. We are a vegetarian/vegan family and can host only people with the same taste or people who decide to practice this food philosophy for the time they stay here. We don't drink alcoholics and don't use drugs and we also expect that our workaway guests won't do the same whilst in the premises.
What else ...
There are many paths leading to the tops of the hills surrounding the area. The Euganean hills are ancient small volcanoes dated 40 to 50 millions of years. They are made as a basaltic rock called trachite. This stone was used to pave the roads in Venice. Now the extraction of this stone is very much restricted, but still one can visit the old quarries.
As far as the house rules we appreciate people who are early morning lovers and responsible persons in caring for the hosts spaces. Of course we are very open people and for us communication is the basis of any good relationship. We understand the needs of people especially youngsters, but still these experiences have to be appreciated for their potential in creating adults who can deal with any kind of people
