Descripción
Retired scientific researcher, I live with my dog Gos in the Tuscan countryside, dedicating my time to take care of plants. I would recommend a stay to those who love countryside, plants and animals. However Florence is only 15 km. The ATAF city bus stop is 3000 meters from house; another bus locally connects to the terminal.

I spend 4 months of the lockdown last winter with Carlo in his very cosy and pretty home uphill from Florence. We established rapidly honest and respectful communication and it was pleasant helping him around the house with simple tasks. Carlo is a quiet person with interesting ideas and viewpoints. There is the garden with a couple of ponds and… read more

Polite, correct and extremely reserved guest, Connie did all the required tasks, with commitment and competence. She even managed to fix a water tap in the kitchen. If she would to come back, would be a welcome guest.

Dejan carried out the required tasks with good will and care, and Vucka, his dog, was a quiet company for my old Gos. Short stay and sociable guest, even too much. I wish him more stimulating and challenging stays, suited to his energy.

Finding Carlo's profile and having an opportunity to stay at his marvelous place was a big fortune. First of all, he possesses a really beautiful house and garden with great atmosphere and peaceful environment.

Superate le prime difficoltà di comunicazione, Miho ha preso confidenza con l’ambiente domestico e non c’è più stato bisogno di dirle cosa doveva fare. Ha governato la casa come una piccola regina. Da artista, ha dato un tocco di armonia anche alle piccole cose ed ha regalato al mio vecchio cane Gos un fiammante ritratto. Spero si sia trovata a… read more

Iva was my first experience as a workawayer with a dog, Kravica, who shared peacefully the house with my old Gos. Iva was a quiet and pleasant guest, attentive to the needs of the house and really untiring. A useful and reassuring presence that I hope to have again. Truly excellent.

My feedback is a bit late as I have been travelling. This was my first workaway experience, as well as my first time in Italy. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Carlo.

Carlo was an all-around excellent host! He didnt have too many work requests which almost made me feel guilty (that being said, it is of course important to take what he asks to be done seriously as a courtesy). I did cleaning and food-prep type of help. My favorite task was helping to make marmalade out of the fruit in his yard.

Vanessa entered the life of the house with discretion and naturalness. She has always done the right thing at the right time, without the need to ask her. I had the pleasant impression that Vanessa was feeling at home. Too bad that her stay was so short. I hope to host her soon once again.
