We are surrounded by woodland with beautiful walking paths, here are a sauna in a cave in the forest, a swimming pool, a vegetable garden and olive trees. We produce organic extra virgin olive oil, jams, meat, vegetables.

    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 and working 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.

    We want to host couples for a long stay, in terms of months, to built a good relationship and to give our family and our work a continuity and a good rhythm of constructive work and leisure time on both sides.

    We need help with gardening, wood cutting, cooking, keep clean the spaces, maintenance tasks, take care of the chicken and rabbits, production of jams and preserves, clean the swimming pool.
    If you have any experience in handcrafts, wood works, carpentry, gardening, painting and repairs you are perfect for our place!
