Details
Description
We are Imogen, 1959, Francesca,1999 and Augustin, 1998
We are german and we live here since 1980.
We live with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 3 cats and chickens. Soon we will have bees again.
There are hundreds of big old olivetrees, so that we produce a lot of excellent oliveoil.
I'm a classic homeopath and love it.
I'm also a yoga teacher but now I practice less.
We eat biological food, mainly vegeterian, sometimes meat and fish.
We have no clear organisation, we try to find the best solution for everybody and from case to case.
I'm very interested in culture, literature, film, theater, art and music. There is a piano.
I also participate at political activities here around.
I like people who don't think only about themselves.
The longer you stay, the better it is! (Even years!)

Thea and Jero are very friendly, always helpful, interesting and interested.
Its a joy to stay with them, to work with them, to live with them.
Every task they started, they finished and did it well.
It was a good time, I'm sad they left and will be happy to see them again soon!
(Perhaps for the olive harvest)
Stay well , friends!

Our stay with Imogen was wonderful

I stayed here for almost a month with 2 friends.
We had a very comfortable experience, we did a lot of wood cutting, uprooting, a stone wall, cleaning and removing old fences and more daily tasks.
Everything was on our own pace. The area have a lot of interesting places to visit.
Thanks for everything there!

I had a lovely time helping with the olive harvest with Imogen and her family. I very much appreciated how well taken care of we were, the meals were always great and the accomodations were very cozy. I loved getting to spend time with Masha and Coco (the dogs) and the cats as well. Thanks for a lovely couple weeks :)

Eloi was here five days, worked well and then left.
He is a nice boy, but he threw his own complication on others.
There was no need for all that.
PS: the washing-machine was simply not full enough!
I asked him to wait one other day.
And: YUHU! now we have a new provider, so we have always internet!

Ich war eine Woche bei Imogen in der schönen Toskana. Ich habe Imogen vor allem beim Aufräumen, Putzen, beim Versorgen der Tiere und auf dem Olivenhain unterstützt. Imogen hat viele Geschichten und Wissen mit mir geteilt, es gab immer gutes Essen und genug Zeit um die Schönheit der Gegend zu genießen. Ich werde wiederkommen. Danke 🙏
