Description
Hello everybody!
We are searching for a period of two/three weeks in the period of May, September, October or November.
The help would consist in doing do-it-yourself works of different types (painting wooden shutters and metal frames, painting balcony railings and doing some works of little carpintery and do it yourself). We could consider to host couples although we would prefer a single workawayer.
We are searching for people with a previous experience in these tasks and precise and careful in the work. We don't expect doing a lot of things, but doing them well.
We are a family of five: Fabrizio (my husband), Giovanna (me), Laura (our daughter of 17 years old), Kera (the black cat) and Kio (the white and grey cat). We are all sociable and smiling people.
We hosted several workawayers in the past and we had great experience with them!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love to host open minded people, who will regard to this experience as a way to learn from sharing a different culture, rather than having a cheap room. We are open to talk about different features of our cultures and to a deep a real human exchange.
We are sociable, open, interested in knowing people from all over the world and learning from our workawayers. We could tell you more about Italian culture, habits, interests and you could dip into the Italian way of life. We can speak both english and spanish so communication won't be a problem.
We are outspoken and frank people and we would love to host people with the same attitude: everything is simpler when things are said!
We are also flexible and goodhearted people and we would love to find the same attitude in our guests.
We are interested in sharing-economy, bartering, ecological issues, local economy and we think that addressing to this website is a little way to change the world. We also love personal growth, fitness and quality of life.
Help
We will have to do some works in two flats. The works consists in painting frames and window frames, painting walls and rails. We work at a peaceful pace and we expect our workawayer to do things more in a precise way rather than too fast.
Some do it yourself skills and previous experience with wood and painting would be highly appreciated.
We expect a responsible, open, mature and dynamic person, willing to be part of the family but independent at the same time and enough flexible to perform different tasks according to our needs.

Accommodation
We can offer you two options:
1) A SHARED OPTION
In this case we offer a private single bedroom in our apartment with a shared bathroom or, in some cases, a double bedroom with a private bathroom. (in the photo you just see the single bedroom).
The bedroom has a single bed but a second bed can be added in case we host couples or, in some cases, we can offer a double bedroom with a private bathroom.
2) AN INDEPENDENT OPTION
In this case we can offer a bedroom at the ground floor (a garage transformed into a small apartment) with a double sofa bed and a personal bathroom with sink, wc and bidet but without shower. For the shower the workawayer can rely on the shower of the apartment. This room has no heating and therefore the workaway should rely on an electric stove.
We can discuss with the workawayer which is the best option for both before arrival.
Meals are included in the hospitality.
The flat is provided with Internet connection and we could also provide you with a bycicle during your stay.
We are open and sociable people and we have always welcomed our workawayer as part of the family.
We wait to hear form you soon!
What else ...
We have two cats, Kera and Kio who live with us and therefore keep it in mind in case you are alergic.
Please, let us know if you are alergic or intolerant to animals or to some food or if there are foods that you don't like.
We eat very healthy, with lot of vegetables, pasta and fruits. We eat both meat and fish.
We are sociable, friendly and open minded people and we will do our best to make your feeling at home and comfortable living with us.
