Descripción
We have been hosting work aways for ten years and have had the privilege of welcoming guests of all ages from all over the world .
Andrea is a chef and I'm a designer , we are an Italian and English couple in our 40s with a little girl (jasmine) and often find ourselves in need of a helping hand or two. ;)
The house, surrounded by beautiful woodland and fields is an hour by car from Venice airport and an hour and twenty minutes from the dolomite mountains.
The local village is 15 min's walk going and a good half an hour coming back up the hill.
The surrounding area is famous for prosecco wine, with miles and miles of vineyards where local producers will let you sample and buy.
We are a bed and breakfast and cookery school.. A place to come to really relax, and enjoy good food and wine :)
The main house is finished, but needs a lot of painting,help with basic DIY, some work on the shutters etc. The cookery school room is still a blank canvas waiting to be started, as is the conservatory and greenhouse. We also have a derelict building in the middle of the woods that would be great to make into a little house one day. The garden, wood's , vegetable garden and land need constant work.
let me know if you think you can help.
All the best Ruth

Although I only stayed with Ruth and Andrea for a few months, I miss what feels like a second home. Ruth and Andrea (and Jasmine too) are some of the most fun-loving, caring and inspiring people I’ve ever met. They have taught me a lot, not only about Italian cuisine (which is, of course, of great importance) but also another way of life.
