Description
We, Alessandro and Monica, live in a renovated old farm building in the hilly heartland of Piemonte wine country, in northwestern Italy. We moved here from the city 16 years ago and opened a b&b and we are very happy with this change: the peace, the the sounds, the atmosphere and the nature here make our life so beautiful. However, we passed the 60 years old mark and our own energy is not always enough for caring after the garden and maintaining the house, and this is the reason why we welcome workawayers to help us.
The other reason is that we love sharing laughters, relaxing, nature, good food and wine with nice people.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers may learn about the area, the traditions, the food, the wines, village festivals and events. And Italian language, if they are interested in it!
Help
That's what we mainly need, depending on the situation:
- Gardening
- Small works in the house
- House cleaning for the private part of the house (not b&b)
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Italian: Fluent
French: Intermediate
Accommodation
Comfortable room, with private bathroom. We will enjoy meals together.
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, in the warm season, you will surely enjoy the pool, for swimming (the size is 20 x 3 meters) and relaxing.
