  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room and bathroom in the projet facilities, also a little kitchen where you can cook your meals by your own.
    The people in the projet provide the necessary for nutritional needs.
    The project is 30 min by car from Turín city center, 10 min from a small city called Chieri, in a village called Pavarolo. The environment is natural and beautiful but the public transport is quite a disaster! You will live less isolated If you have a moto/car licence.
    Anyway, you will find a real network of people (around 30 families and 10 teachers ) who can host you in the weekend in Turin, give you a ride and help you in your "Piemonte experience"

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    we had already 8 workawayers with different profiles and different duties in the project... I think they had a great time!

    Our headquarters and in consequence your accommodation during these years have changed. The accomodation now is in the facilities of the project. Notice the oldest reviews refers to a family house accomodation that now host Workawayers for a different family centered help.
