Description
We are an Italian/American family that run a bed and breakfast in a rural area near the 'Dolomiti Bellunesi' National Park.
We live in the original house of Christian's great grandparents.
Amy moved to the Dolomites a few years ago from Bishop California.
Our daughter Katerina was born in July 2013 and our son Noah was born in June 2016. We also have a very nice and friendly dog, Zucca.
We enjoy the peacefulness and stillness of living in nature, surrounded by trees
and next to a river. At the same time we like to share our home with those who enjoy nature and are curious to discover this hidden part of the Dolomites.
The closest village is 2 kilometers away and the main town of Feltre is 6 kilometers. Feltre is very nice and the 'old' town center is surrounded by medieval walls. Feltre has a train station which makes travel easy to other cities. Venice is one and half hours by train.
Our house is located conveniently because it is between the mountains and the venetian towns full of art.Types of help and learning opportunities

Avremmo voluto averlo con noi ancora per un po' ma non possiamo garantirgli una sistemazione.

As pretty much every single other review for Christian and Amy suggests, this was the most fantastic volunteer experience we've had. Being our first, we also hope that others can only slightly compare. We spent a month here in total.
I spent most of my time with Amy and the children and I loved it. Amy was super funny,… read more

Very nice person, careful, versatile and always available. Don't have to say what there is to do...she see and she does. Friendly with everybody, curious, positive and independent. we would have more to say...anyway we highly recommend Caitlin and we are thankful for her staying.
My stay with Christian, Amy, Katerina and Zucca was a rather unique experience. Out of my five workaways that I have done this year, my time with Christian was by far the most culture rich exchange I have experienced out of all the places I have been. Christian really gave me a full taste of Italian culture and way of life and really involved me… read more
