Description
Apply for 2015 only

From 5 years, me, Alessandro, and Monica, my wife, run a countryside boutique bed and breakfast in the hilly heartland of Piemonte wine country, in northwestern Italy. In the good season we need help, because we have more guest coming to stay at our place.
We love laughters, relaxing, nature, good food and wine - but in summer we have little time for that: we focus on providing the best possible service to our guest from Italy, Europe and beyond.

Accommodation
Comfortable room, with private bathroom; sometime with bathroom shared with the owners - depending on accommodation provided to guests.
What else ...
This is a quite countryside area, ideal for lovers of walk and mountain bike rides (we can borrow my bike). We are 800 mt from our small village and 4km from the nearby town. We have just one car, but we are happy to borrow it to a trustable driver - to allow exploration of our beautiful hilly land of vineyards, woods, wineries, small towns and castles.
In your free time you will surely enjoy the pool, for swimming (the size is 20 x 3 meters) and relaxing.

Alessandro and Monica are two fantastic persons: warm-hearted, open-minded and incredibly hospitable. My stay with them included so much more than the actual ‘work’: From the beginning, they made me feeling like at home, shared their way of life and daily-routine with me and gave me advices and ideas for my little Piedmont-excursions. And first of… read more

Ursina is a clever, reliable and helpful young woman.
But we think that those above are not most important aspects, if you are hosting her, because the real gift you get is that she is a really interesting person with whom you will have a great time talking, while tasting a nice glass of wine, about politics, food, geography, culture, tradition… read more

It's so pleasant to volunteer there. Such a beautiful place surrounded by nature and lovely people. I'm totally falling in love with Piedmonte, Monica and Alessandro. They are more than fantastic.

It was so sad to leave. I really had great time with them drinking wine, eating tasty food, etc. by the way, Monica is a real chef. Such a genius. I… read more

We were so lucky to have Vicky with us for three weeks!
Not only she can work hard, she is also a truly wonderful and positive person, who loves to explore the world and know new people and their stories; and this means that she has a lot of interesting stories to tell, laughters to share, and bright smiles to offer.
We really spent a great time… read more

Simon and Henna are top workawayers!
They perform any task with maximum proficiency and use their energy, creativity and positivity to successfully achieve the best possible result.
Work is important, of course, but we had the best time with them when relaxing or around the dinner table: nice talks, laughter and good stories were the everyday… read more

We feel more than lucky that we had a change to have our first work away experience with Monica and Alessandro. The experience was wonderful. In the mornings we helped in the garden with a beautiful view to the wine-yards and after a delicious breakfast we helped inside the house. In return we got so much hospitality and warmness from them, they… read more

Ruby is wonderful girl, that enlightens people around her with her open smile and her positive attitude towards life. She stayed with for us for more than one month, and beside being very helpful with our business (sincerely taking care of things and not just performing tasks), she was a great person to know and to live with. We everyday talked… read more

Wow what can I say...my first Workaway experience couldn't have been more wonderful.

It feels like I've known them for years! Casa Isabella is absolutely… read more

Good food, great place, awesome people! Me and my enjoyed our stay with Alessandro and Monica! Staying in the wine valley on a hill viewing the vineyards around us was breathtaking. I enjoyed caring for their vegetable garden and picking figs from their gigantic fig tree. The small cities are quaint and cute. Monica and Alessandro are great… read more
