Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living in the Umbrian countryside is an experience in itself, connecting with the pace of nature and breathe in the cultural traditions of the heart of Italy. We will share all our knowledge about growing and tending plants and animals, and the principles of organic farming, about italian food, and about living in an italian "agriturismo".
Jennie has a passion for naturopathy, yoga, arts, creativity. Stefano for food, plants, tools, wood and fishing. We can help you learn and improve italian and introduce you to our beautiful region.

Help
Hi! We are Jennifer and Stefano, and we live and work in our family-run agriturismo/farm, surrounded by nature. This place is our home and our life project, where our two children are growing up. We love cultural exchange, sharing, and a simple lifestyle connected to the land and to people.
We are looking for two people to be involved in both the work of the agriturismo and our family life, with the idea of building a medium- to long-term collaboration. We are looking for people who can stay at least from April to September, with the possibility of staying longer.
One person will mainly focus on cleaning and organisation, while the other will be more involved in maintenance and practical/manual work, but both will be asked to help flexibly depending on needs and season. Tasks may include cleaning and tidying indoor and outdoor spaces, laundry, helping in the restaurant kitchen, cleaning the swimming pool, garden and green area maintenance, working in the vegetable garden, helping with the preparation of preserves, feeding the animals and, when needed, spending time with the children (playing, supervising, helping in daily routines).
We offer accommodation, the use of our home-produced food (vegetables, preserves and farm products) and regular monthly payment. The environment is friendly, informal and collaborative. We are not looking for hotel staff, but for people who would like to feel part of our reality, sharing spaces, time and responsibilities.
We also really appreciate if you are creative and enjoy taking photos and videos of our lifestyle and daily activities. Bringing music or any other artistic skill is very welcome too and adds a lot to the shared experience.
We are looking for reliable and respectful people with a practical mindset and flexibility, who enjoy being around children, animals and outdoor life. No specific experience is required in everything — what matters most to us is a willingness to help, a positive attitude and the desire to learn.
If you feel this experience could be right for you, we would be happy to hear from you 🌿

What else ...
We live in the countryside, the next town is 4 Km from us, very small, but there is anything you need. 20 Km from us there is Orvieto, a small city, and vary nice to visiting. We are surrounded by many wood, paths and streets for walkings and for mountain bike tours, many nice town to visit with each his own interesting story. Nearby there is the Bolsena lake for very nice one day stay, where you can also canoing or windsurfing, and the same on the Trasimeno Lake too. In the surrounding there are nice walls for climbing and a very nice fitness club with also an indoor climb wall. There are interesting caves to visit with guides, and not far there are thermal bath, free or in spa. We live in a very nice place! To discover and to love.
During summer time almost every day you can find something to do in the towns nerby, as music, live music, coctails, outside cinema or theatre, dancing, walkings with guide, and mostly food.
We can have times to spend together and you can explore by yourself.
