Descripción
My family & I live in South Wales, UK & also have a home in Northern Italy, a 30 minute drive from the city of Turin. Our house in Italy is in a beautiful, quaint village close to the town of Aglie. We have been restoring our Italian home ourselves for the past 8 years & on a recent holiday to New Zealand heard about their volunteer exchange system. We thought it was a great idea, so when we heard about workaway it seemed ideal! Ideal for us as we would appreciate some help & ideal for volunteers who will get to explore a lovely, relatively undiscovered area of Northern Italy. The area where our home is situated is slightly elevated so gives fantastic views of Turin and stunning mountain ranges, the closet of which being the beautiful Grand Paradiso. There is a vineyard directly in front of the house (not ours unfortunately!) & protected woodlands to the side & behind, excellent for mountain biking & walking. We have a swimming pool which your welcome to use when its opened, mid May-mid September. There's also a big barbecue,loads of board games, a pool table & table tennis to keep you entertained!
Tipo de ayuda

Ayuda informática / Internet
Enseñar
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
our home is in a relatively (to tourists) undiscovered area of Piemonte and therefore you can discover the real Italy outside of the house. There are beautiful walks/bike rides from the doorstep , and villages and towns close by to explore. Turin is just a short train journey away as is the beautiful Aosta valley and Gran Paradiso.
Ayuda
Basically we need help with some painting inside & outside, building work, carpentry & plumbing would be great & we would love some artistic input, maybe with some mosaics!? We are also open to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
Idiomas hablados
english/little italian
Alojamiento
The house has 4 large bedrooms. At times some of these will be used for our b&b, so you might have to share. Also the bathrooms are shared but very clean. Towels and bedding are available & if you don't like my cooking, you can have full use of the kitchen! There is no smoking in the house but we are happy for you to smoke outside.
Algo más...
We are easy going people but always respectful of our surroundings & neighbours. Be honest with us & we will be with you, respect is the key word in our home.

This was such a great experience! Fay provides great hospitality for all volunteers and visitors. She has a heart of gold and a great sense of humor. If it ends up hail storming while you're there, make sure you're nowhere near Fay ;) The work involved isn't stressful by any means and the land she has is great for chilling back or going on walks… read more

My experience at Fays surpass words known to any man. I've never had a month lived so happily. From the moment I met Fay, she made me feel like I was family, and that feeling will stay with me no matter where I go. It speaks to Fays character that she has so many workawayers returning to her. She's a beautiful woman that finds a passion for… read more

I stayed two highly memorable weeks at Fay's. Fay is incredibly kind, generous and forthcoming and I quickly fell in love with her humor and emphatic nature.

The hours are flexible and more than fair, the food is plentiful, the bedrooms are comfortable and the view from the house is precious - there is nothing not to like!

I had so much fun… read more

Fay is one awesome person! Welcoming and truly makes you feel at home. Even though I was the only worker during my stay there was not a dull moment, from taking Dylan (the dog) on walks, to simply relaxing watching a movie. But be warned she may try to get you to eat a whole cake ;) But really, there is not enough good things I can say, I made a… read more

We have made a life-long friend in Fay. Her warm, hospitable and humorous nature made us feel at home from the get-go. She chose an amazing group of ''Workawayers', who gelled together instantly and became a big multi-cultural family.
