Description
My name is Marzia, I'm from Milan but I moved to wonderful Sardinia in 2005. At the beginning, I lived in the countryside in the north of the island and then I head to the south. In both places I've been running a B&B.
I like my job very much because I love to meet people from different countries and I love to speak foreign languages. Fortunately/unfortunately I have long holidays during winter so that the idea of working/meeting people through Workaway sounds perfect to me. In the past years, I used to spend a few months in Perpignan where I attended the university and helped students in Italian conversation at Dante Alighieri school.
I'm an easy going person and I like almost any kind of manual work. I also like gardening, making home made pasta and ravioli, taking care of the house, learn new jobs.
I'm very good in cutting the grass with the débroussailleuse. Years of experience :-)

Marzia was our last highlight in 2024. What a joy and pleasure to work with her! She doesn't shy away from any work and is open to learning new things. She did a great job on tiling the complicated floor in our guest toilet and the walls. The roses look great and will show Marzia's loving hand this spring with their first flowers.
She just fit in… read more

I spent three wonderful weeks with Bill and Anette.
The welcome was fantastic and I immediately felt at home. The work was well organised, varied and enjoyable and their enthusiasm for the chateau renovation project was contagious. Both are great and skilled workers, always available to listen and help. Their ability to teach and instill… read more

I spent two nice weeks with Delphine and I was lucky enough to meet two of her children as well.
Delphine is a rather reserved but very helpful person and listens to fantastic music - which is very nice when you are doing a lot of terracotta cleaning work ;-)
In addition, she lives in a very beautiful area, gives good advice on places to visit and… read more

When Marzia arrived in our house she was a ray of sunshine. Always in a good mood, cheerful, lively, full of energy and above all very available for anything you asked her. I was very surprised by her ability in many tasks: she cooks very well, is an expert in flowers and plants, loves the brush cutter, speaks several languages correctly, sews,… read more
