and clean everything up, in order to make it our home one day.
We are Bruno and Iole,husband and wife, and we live in a house close to our fields, immersed in the greenery of the Casentino Forests, between Florence and Arezzo
We wish to create, together with warkawayers, a place where many cultural exchanges take place between us and them
People that will be hosted in our house may share family life wuth us and taste Tuscan cooking and some products of our fields.

What else ...
I'm Iole, I'm the mother of three grown-up daughters!
I have always had a great curiosity in manual work, this allowed me to learn to do many things, which I was able to put to good use, first in my tailoring shop, then in teaching children and teenagers at the Waldorf school in Florence.
Since we got our land, I have dedicated myself to picking fruit, gardening, taking care of the bees, and all the jobs I can do!
I have an artistic background and when I have the chance, I paint, draw, sew, knit...
My name is Bruno. I really like working in contact with nature doing construction and agricultural work. In my free time I paint and play the guitar. I have read many books while now I enrich my culture through YouTube. For this reason, if necessary, I can carry out cultural exchanges with Workawayers on various topics, even the more "holistic" ones. I know English quite well.
we live between Florence and the Casentino national forest park, Florence offers many possibilities for entertainment and culture, but our location also offers many possibilities: it is possible to visit Arezzo, medieval town, go trekking in the vast park, in the Apennines, such as in the Pratomagno. Our company is near Pratomagno where it is possible to find beautiful rivers where it is possible to swim. Tuscany is also rich in free thermal springs that are always open, perfect for spending a relaxing day immersed in nature. We will help you discover our region and fall in love with it.
