Description
Hello! We are Henri and Deisy, a young couple living near Rome.
We live in a house surrounded by nature, nestled in the Castelli Romani and close to the lake. We share our home with our two Cocker Spaniels and enjoy a simple, creative, and active lifestyle — we love working on small home projects, gardening, cooking, and making our space more beautiful and welcoming.
We’re always happy to meet new people, discover new cultures and foods, and share daily life while speaking different languages.
For us, hosting through Workaway is a wonderful way to travel without moving! Welcome 🙏🏼✨ -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in everyday Italian life while bonding with our beloved dogs, who are sure to bring joy and inspiration. Living in the Castelli Romani, a beautiful hilly area about an hour from the center of Rome, you’ll enjoy the peace of nature, charming historic villages, and local flavors, with easy access to the Eternal City. You’ll be able to learn more about Italian culture and traditions.
During your stay, you’ll also have the chance to participate in activities like gardening, DIY projects, and seasonal harvesting — picking olives to make olive oil and grapes to make homemade wine. You can also join a cooking class to learn how to prepare some typical Italian dishes, getting a true taste of local life.
If you’re open to it, you might also pick up some Italian phrases or practice the language day by day. -
Help
Generally, we would love to host artists and creatives who can add a special touch to our home:
💻 Website creation support
🎥 Video recording support
🖼 creating paintings and decorations
🧿 making small artistic items (jewelry, ornaments…)
🔧 giving new life to furniture or creating useful pieces (lamps, drawers, etc.)
🧘 Support with physical exercises and wellness activities (such as Pilates or similar practices), so someone who knows how to guide and teach these activities.
We are also open to welcoming:
✦ tattoo artists
✦ nail artists
✦ volunteers with practical skills and a willingness to help
We are looking for support in various day-to-day activities:
✅ Pet care
(feeding, walking, playing, cleaning)
✅ Help around the house
(cleaning, organizing, simple cooking)
✅ Gardening
(outdoor care, small improvements)
✅ General maintenance
(minor repairs, DIY)
If you are an artist or a creative person, I’m happy to hear your ideas to help improve the decoration of the house.
We can talk about your stay, and I can show you what I need through a video call or pictures. -

What else ...
In your free time, if you enjoy nature walks and breathtaking views, you can explore several trails between the two volcanic lakes, including “La Via Sacra” and the path to “Monte Cavo”. The station with direct trains to the center of Rome and other destinations is about a 30-minute walk from the house.
