We stayed here for 2 weeks at the beginning of November. The accommodation was excellent, we stayed in a charming self-contained apartment, that was well stocked with food. It was nice to have our own private housing to relax in after work and we would often cook for ourselves, and also ate with Moritz when he could. We helped with the olive… read more

Me & Stu stayed here for around 3 weeks at the end of the olive harvest in November. You could not find a more beautiful setting - being able to wake up and see the gorgeous Umbrian landscape is a real bonus! We both really enjoyed the work, it was pretty intense for about two weeks whilst we finished the harvest before the weather changed but it… read more

Thank you for your feedback and we accept your critics, as i told to you it's the first time that someone is unhappy in our host, sometimes there are people that haven't the same ideas or way of life in this case we were very different. It doesn't mean that you aren't a good worker or we aren't a good host it means that we arent made for work… read more

I recommend this place to anybody who wants to stay in a peaceful environment, in a beautiful house surrounded by enchanting views. The accommodation is nice and the food was provided in time and from this point of view everything was good.

And yet I had hard time there because the whole atmosphere was very cold and alienated. I don't need the… read more

Hi, I was in Val del Sasso for six weeks. I had great time there. Hosts are very kind. Susanne, Horst and Moritz gave always good advices about working and free time. Because of their hospitality and goodwill I could explore Umbria and some parts of Tuscany and Marche, too. And I although could meet great people and spent time with them.… read more

Thanks for having us!
While the day we could enjoy the beautiful Umbrian countryside, cutting wines or renovating a guest apartment. In the evenings, when it got cold, there was a fireplace and homemade wine to keep us warm. After we got used to the rural lifestyle, it turned out to be very peaceful and romantic (:

Although I'm leaving this feedback a whole year after we stayed with Susanne, Horst, Moritz, let me say this: it was an incredibly positive experience. This was our first workaway experience and it could not have been better. Susanne, Horst and Moritz were so very good to us, and their cooking was incredible. The work was pleasant (trimming grape… read more

At the beginning, we were suppose to stay only 2 weeks, but finally we decided to live with the Seeser family for 2 months. The Seeser family gave us a lot and they are absolutely lovely. We have spent a nice time together every dinner, with nice conversation that we will remember, very good german and italian food. They brought us to unique place… read more

We had a brilliant time staying with Horst, Suzanne and Moritz on their beautiful property in Umbria. The accommodation provided for us was excellent and although we weren’t living as part of the family it was nice to have a private place to relax when we had finished our work for the day. For the most part we catered for ourselves which suited us… read more

We had an amazing time with the Seeser family. The work was hard, fair but most of all worth it. A give and take. Because what we learned from working and living with them was worth gold. They always treated us well, the food and wine was superb and the accomodation in the palace was more beautiful than we could ever imagine! Thank you!
