    Description

    Welcome to our Canonica (former rectory) in the hills of Emilia-Romagna. We are a group of four families who share this home near Corniglio, in the province of Parma. We come here whenever we have free time to relax, spend time together, and enjoy nature in good company. We are looking for a friendly, responsible Workawayer who would like to experience Italian rural life and join our group for a short period. We are just a stone's throw from the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine Park, an area rich in forests, lakes, and streams suitable for swimming.

    Benvenuti nella nostra Canonica sulle colline dell' Emilia Romagna. Siamo un gruppo di quattro famiglie che condividono questa casa vicino a Corniglio in provincia di Parma. Veniamo qui ogni volta che abbiamo del tempo libero per riposare, stare insieme e godere della natura in compagnia. Cerchiamo un workawayer amichevole e responsabile che desideri vivere l'esperienza della vita rurale italiana ed entrare a far parte del nostro gruppo per un breve periodo. Siamo a pochi passi dal parco dell'Appennino Tosco Emiliano, ricco di boschi, laghi e torrenti balneabili.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Our rectory has always been open to welcome friends and passers-by, to share moments of conviviality and exchange.
    We can cook some of our traditional recipes together, go mushroom picking, go for walks, swim in the rivers, and tell you the history of our homeland.

    We primarily need help with small practical tasks around the home and outdoor spaces. Tasks may include: minor diy/repairs and general maintenance, garden and outdoor care, and painting. You don't need to be a professional handyman, but some manual dexterity and a willingness to get your hands dirty would be greatly appreciated.
