Description
Tavola di Migliandolo is an artist's residence that lies in the heart of Piedmont's wine country. In the separate apartment in the building above our family home, we host artists of international renown from over 10 different countries. Now, we are looking to host a Workawayer or two for the month of May to assist with various gardening and home maintenance projects.
We are an Italian family consisting of me, Claudio, my wife, Simona and our two sons in university, Alessandro and Filippo. We are enthusiastic patrons of art, with interests in gardening, nature, and the production of artigianale food products. We are well accustomed to hosting, and look forward to the opportunity to welcome you with open arms.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are an Italian family with deep roots in the Piedmont region. We enjoy sharing our culture, recipes, and traditions with our guests. Additionally, we have cultivated an environment lush with art, music, and culture from which any guest could learn. From our guests, we are looking to learn more about your background, perspective on the world, and language if the opportunity arises.

Help
For the month of May, we are searching for someone who can, over all, assist with gardening and maintenance of our properties. Some tasks required would be to trim the border of the forest surrounding our property, maintain parts of our current garden, and paint several of the iron gates around the property. If you have abilities in carpentry or construction, there will almost certainly be more work and the opportunity to stay longer. The house is over 400 years old and full of side projects.

Accommodation
The workawayer(s) will stay in an high quality apartment in a separate building above our family residence that used to be an osteria and home. The apartment is well equipped with a kitchen, ample living space, and two beds (though if you would like to share a bed they are each big enough for two.)
For food, we are happy to cover the cost of groceries. When the occasion arises, we are also more than happy to welcome you to our dinner table and share traditional recipes from Piedmont.
What else ...
Our homes rest at the top of a hill in the province of Migliandolo which is incorporated under the city of Asti. This means that our house in not well connected Asti through public transit. Though can offer a ride into Asti when our schedules align, we are not available to shuttle Workawayers 24/7. For this reason, we recommend that our workawayers secure access to a vehicle. Once in Asti, you are well connected to the rest of Italy through the network of trains.
