L'esperienza a casa di Germana e Francesco è stata unica ed irripetibile. Li ringrazio dal profondo del mio cuore per avermi ospitata e trattata a tutti gli effetti come un membro della famiglia.
L'atmosfera che si respira fa bene all'anima e al cuore, si sa che posti belli attirano solo gente bella ed è proprio questo il caso. Ho avuto modo di

Il posto è magico, in mezzo alla natura, ma in un punto strategico per visitare la meravigliosa Valle d'Itria. Inutile dire che tornerò sicuramente a far loro visita, se non come helper, sicuramente come seminarista per uno dei loro interessantissimi corsi. A presto! Ci sentiamo, grazie ancora.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

It was my second Work Away experience that lasted for one month; Francesco and Germana together with their two children Adriano and Marcello were the highlight of my journeys in Italy, hardly I can put into words the gratitude and appreciation I feel for these people!
From the time I arrived, I felt the immediacy, openness, and hospitality these

I got to know about permaculture, Tai Chi, various somatic techniques, and of course – true Italian culture. I was always invited to join for trips into the local cities and towns, common dinners, and events; I did have an opportunity to attend Tai Chi classes given by Francesco and become the part of philosophy classes with Germana’s students. More than that, I was always provided with the highest quality food and the greatest accommodation in the local trullo.
I felt that I was given much more than I asked or even expected to receive. It was a very healing and healthy time for me. My stay made my experiences in Italy unforgettable and I am forever grateful to these wonderful people.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I spent 2 weeks at this workaway in September 2015. It was really interesting to spend time in this less- touristic region of Italy and I met some wonderful people whilst I was there. The working hours were fair and there was enough free time for me to practice yoga or visit the local town nearby. Germana was kind enough to take me and the

My main tasks including minding the children, or cleaning and food preparation for the yoga retreat which was running at the time. I would recommend learning or having some knowledge of the Italian language before accepting this position, as communication could sometimes be a slight barrier at times! I am grateful for all that i learnt during this unique experience. Thankyou for having me :)Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I was hosted by Germana and Franco in July 2015. My time there was memorable, the athmosphere very relaxed and peaceful. I felt very lucky to have found such a special place. I was especially overwhelmed by Germana's way to make you feel at ease, and Franco, you can tell he enjoys to have volunteers around as he is always engaging in interesting

There's a reasonable amount of free time and possibility of visiting nearby turistic locations. Works may vary from gardening to basic building.
What I appreciated the most was the possibility of meeting a lot of people coming from anywhere in Europe for the house events and seminars; some of them were simply their local friends, spiritual people, or neighbours skilled in permaculture. All of them displays a developed sense of awareness when it comes to environment and social change. The possibility of meeting a lot of friends makes this experience simply rewarding.
Thanks Germana and Franco, I have a very nice memory of you.
