Vegetable gardening and the Italian language in the Umbrian countryside, near Assisi, Italy.

Details

• 

  Description

  We are Vittoria and Angelo (aged 65 and 68); a year ago, we moved to a house with extensive grounds in the Umbrian countryside, in a wonderful setting surrounded by nature.
  We are located 14 km from Gualdo Tadino, 20 km from Assisi, and 4 km from Ananda, an international spiritual center dedicated to yoga and meditation. In fact, various friends who are staying at Ananda often spend time with us.
  
  Vittoria works as a preschool teacher, while Angelo has been retired since January 2026 following a career of over forty years in the audiovisual, film, and television industries.
  We are originally from Naples and love cooking—preparing both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes—as well as making fruit preserves, tending the land by planting trees, and gathering wild herbs. We would be happy to host one or two practical, responsible, and reliable people to help us care for the vegetable garden and the grounds, and to assist with daily cleaning and minor household maintenance.
  We love animals and currently have two cats, Gigino and Tutù. We offer a welcoming, respectful, and family-like atmosphere based on communication, mutual trust, and kindness. Languages ​​spoken: Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  By staying with us a little longer, in addition to discovering some secrets of Italian cuisine and—if you wish—practicing the Italian language, you can explore the area around Assisi, which offers an extraordinary blend of spirituality, perfectly preserved medieval villages, and stunning rolling landscapes.

  Help

  We hope to find someone who loves gardening and cooking just as much as we do. We tend to prefer a vegetarian diet, but we are open-minded and also love good traditional cuisine.
