Details
Description
My husband and I live in a house on the shore of Vico lake, 1 hour north of Rome. We have a small dog and a cat. I work as a tour guide and my husband is retired and he will enjoy some company. Luna, our dog, is very affectionate and needs some walking to stay in good shape, when I go to work on tours . In summer you can enjoy swimming at the lake, all year hiking in this natural reserve - or visit the surroundings. We also have a mounting bike and a kayak. If you like sports and nature this is a great place!
WE DO NOT GIVE THE RESIDENCY IN OUR HOUSE FOR THOSE REQUESTING ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP.

I stayed with Anna Maria and Matteo, and with Patrick (another workawayer :) for about three weeks and we had a wonderful time together. Anna Maria was a great host, always taking care of us and giving us the best possible experience.

I spent 10 days with AnnaMaria, Matthew, and Milton, their adopted son from Chile. I was welcomed into their home and felt part of the family. My job was to sand down and prepare the palisade fence on the border of their property for painting, and then paint it. AnnaMaria was relaxed about the working time and I worked when the fence was in… read more

Ricarda and Alejandro stayed one week with us and it was really a joy to have them! Always willing to help with our packing and very good with our pets. We wished they could have stayed longer!!!! They prepared for us käsespätzle and we taught them how to make home made pasta. We very highly recommend them and we hope to meet them again!

We were very happy to have Simonetta here with us for two weeks. She has been of great help in packing our belongings for the move, very well organized and a hard worker. She was very easy going and we enjoyed her company and sense of humor. We hope our paths will cross again to share more fun moments.
