Details

Description
Our family Peter(Sudtyroler) Ana(Canadian)and our youngest daughter Natty now live in the Italian Alps, on a small farm at 1600m on the dolomite mountain range with 6 cows, a dog and 2 cats. We previously worked for a NGO in Africa/Tanzania and have had many years experience working with volunteers. We really enjoy meeting people from all the corners of the world. Unfortunately Peter was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis , so is unable to keep with all farm chores. Although we do have many relatives willing to help us, we enjoy meeting people. Our youngest daughter is intellectually disabled. She also enjoys company of others and happy to show you around our farm.

I had a fantastic short stay with Ana, Peter, Natty & Cutie and would highly recommend this Workaway experience. Accommodation is excellent where it is possible to relax on a balcony and views of the mountains. Food is fresh from the garden and beautifully prepared. Opportunities to learn about farming, gardening and living off grid. Daily work is… read more

Everyday of the two weeks that Aniko and Anna stayed with us was an absolute joy. They are the nicest,giggliest and most genuine people we have had the pleasure to meet. Aniko and Anna thanks for all your help in the vegtable and flower gardens. You also did a wonderful job cleaning and organizing my "cantena" despite all the creepy spiders. :joy:… read more

We spent 2 weeks with Peter, Ana and Natty (and Cutie) in fabulous Südtirol. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

The work was easy and Ana was always willing to increase our less than basic knowledge of gardening. Natty has been our constant source of happiness, such a fun girl with unique sense of humour - we will miss her a lot. Peter was… read more

We were really happy to host Lewis for 10 days a shame that you could not stay longer. It was so nice to meet an open minded young person, with the biggest heart and an excellent carpenter. I am sure the other workaways will always remember you and your super happy character and exceptional mountain skills. Take care and we wish you an awesome… read more

Had an amazing stay with Ana, Natty and Peter! We spent 3 weeks here in the beginning of July and couldn't ask for a better stay or company. Our main task was to help Ana with the gardening in the mornings. It was really nice, we learned a lot! Also, please don't step on Ana's flowers!! :D
Ana helps you with anything you need and has good tips… read more

Left by Workawayer (Dayton & Abby) for host

We just finished staying with Ana, Peter, And Natty for two weeks in June. This was our first time in Italy/ the dolomites, and staying with them made it so easy to be comfortable there. Ana is easy to talk to and ask questions of, she explains the work and is there to talk to help during it. She is very lenient and is quick to adapt schedules… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Adriano)

It was lovely hosting Adriano as our first workaway. He is a diligent worker who never looks at the clock. Unfortunately the unpredictable weather prevented us from finishing my brilliant plan for my flower garden. However he was overjoyed to sweep and tidy out our garage on rainy days. Needsless to say you were also resilient working in the rain… read more

Left by Workawayer (Adriano) for host

I stayed with Ana, Peter and Natty for almost two weeks. I helped mostly with the garden and I wish I could have done more, but the weather didn't help.

Ana prepared every day a different dish for dinner, alternating the local cuisine with Italian and Canadian dishes: lots of pork sausages, pork ham and just pork prepared in the most surprising… read more
