🌿 Agriturismo & Berry Farm – Looking for motivated helpers (couple or two friends)
Hello!
We run a small agriturismo in Italy with guest rooms and a berry farm (blueberries, raspberries, and other seasonal fruits).
We are looking for two motivated people (friends or a couple) who are genuinely willing to help and be part of an active daily routine.
This is a hands-on experience, ideal for people who enjoy staying busy and working outdoors.
🍇 About the place
Our project combines:
a countryside agriturismo hosting guests
a productive berry plantation
During the main season, days can be quite active, so we are looking for people who are reliable, practical, and not afraid of physical work.
🛠️ Help required
Tasks can include:
gardening and outdoor maintenance 🌱
helping in the berry fields (harvesting and plant care, depending on the season)
general help around the property to keep everything running smoothly
👉 Tasks are varied and will be agreed together based on priorities and your skills.
💡 We appreciate people who take initiative and like to stay productive during their helping hours.
⏰ Schedule
4–5 hours per day
5 days per week
2 days off (flexible)
Weekends are usually the busiest time for us, so availability on weekends is important.
📅 Period
Main help needed:
June & July (high season)
We are preferably looking for a minimum stay of 2 months.
Shorter stays can be considered, but longer is strongly preferred.
Quieter months:
May, August, September
🏡 What we offer
Accommodation in a fully equipped camper (roulotte) with kitchen and fridge 🌿
Basic food provisions so you can cook independently
A dynamic and authentic countryside experience
💬 Important
We are looking for people who:
are serious and consistent in their commitment
have a good work attitude
are happy to be active and involved
👉 If you are mainly looking for a holiday with a bit of help, this might not be the right place.
💸 Extra opportunities
For helpers who are:
particularly committed
flexible
and available for additional tasks beyond the agreed hours
👉 there may be opportunities for paid extra work, in accordance with local regulations.

We’re happy to find the right match, but we value clarity and motivation from the start.
We are a small family who lives and works on the property:
Margaret (64) – originally from Germany, very energetic and sporty. She mainly runs the agriturismo and is the heart of the place… but also the one who keeps everything organized and will most likely be the one assigning tasks (with a smile, but yes — she’s the boss 😉)
Emilio (84) – the “retired right-hand man”, always around and happy to lend a hand when needed
Zen 🐶 – our dog, whose main passion is… the sofa
Mattia (33) – engineer, passionate about kitesurfing and vanlife travel, helping out when around
Nicola (38) – into juggling and gardening, often involved in outdoor projects
We enjoy having people around and sharing simple daily life, while keeping a good balance between work and free time

Help
We run a small agriturismo with 4 guest rooms and 2 apartments, together with a berry plantation (blueberries, raspberries, goji berries, and more).
We are looking for someone who can help us in the mornings with general housekeeping tasks to prepare the spaces for incoming guests, as well as support with gardening and light seasonal work in the berry fields.
Tasks are varied and practical, so we appreciate someone who is proactive, reliable, and comfortable with both indoor and outdoor activities. We provide free accommodation and ensure that all Workawayers staying with us are paid for every hour worked, at a rate that meets or exceeds the legal minimum wage in our country.
