  Description

  About me and the staff
  I am Filippina and I have been in Italy for 18 years.
  I have a farm where I grow vegetables and berries.
  I enjoy cooking and occasionally work as a cook in hotels.
  My cooking is a mix of Italian and Asian cuisine.
  I have a husband and three teenage children.
  Our home has an informal, easy-going atmosphere, and volunteers feel right at home.
  We prefer helpers who are active in their free time and enjoy exploring the mountains and getting to know the Alps.
  We live in the Stelvio National Park and are a 20-minute drive from the Brenta Dolomites.
  So it's the ideal place for those who love trekking, climbing and all mountain sports in general!
  There are also many alpine lakes and waterfalls with crystal clear waters!
  The volunteers' help consists of planting, weeding, harvesting vegetables and berries.
  
  About me and the staff
  sono Filippina e sono in Italia da 18 anni
  Ho una azienda agricola di ortaggi e frutti di bosco.
  Mi piace cucinare, ogni tanto lavoro come cuoca negli alberghi.
  La mia cucina e' un mix di cucina italiana e asiatica.
  Ho un marito e tre figli teen agers
  Nella nostra casa c'e' un ambiente informale, easy going, e i volontari si trovano come a casa propria.
  Noi preferiamo volontari che nel tempo libero sono sportivamente attivi e vanno in montagna a esplorare e conoscere le Alpi
  Abitiamo nel Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio e siamo a 20 minuti di auto dalle Dolomiti di Brenta.
  Quindi e' il posto ideale per chi ama il trekking, le scalate, e tutti gli sport di montagna in generale!
  Ci sono anche molti laghi alpini e cascate dalle acque cristalline!
  L'aiuto dei volontari consiste nel piantare, pulire le erbacce, raccogliere gli ortaggi e i frutti di bosco.
