Are you looking for a place where you can experience the local life of a tiny hilltop Italian town? Are you happy to be part of a group? Send us a message :)
We love help keeping our family (people, animals, and plants) in good shape. We'll share our love of seafood, our quirky mix of Italian, Canadian, and Argentinian culture, and our arts practice!
In particular right now we love to host a couple who could help care for our elderly mother-in-law. (nothing medical or requiring insurance; just a little more company than we can give her in this busy time).
Paid position: We are currently looking for someone who is a licensed plumber or has lots of experience with plumbing or residential house construction. We offer minimum wage for 2-3 hours work a day.
Please note: we love helping people have an experience of Italy, but we are not able to provide the residency requirement for people looking to become Italian citizens. Sorry!

Ciao, from Andrea and Chandra, Meri and Lau, Seba and Sara, Gabi and Roos, Sina, and of course, Rita!
Welcome to our little slice of heaven - a rustic retreat in the green hills of Maremma, Toscana's wild and unexplored coastal region. We are located on the outskirts of a small Etruscan hill town that offer endless views and an authentic cultural immersion. Andrea is a fabulous cook and Chandra is a working artist. Meri and Lau care for our guests; Seba and Sara help people experience our olive oil; and Sina is a wizard with all things mechanical.
We initially restored two ancient stone structures, rustic sheep shelters nestled into our vast tree grove, turning each small structure into a minimalist guest accommodation for our slowly growing agriturismo. Over time, we added two more structures to the agriturismo, building/restoring each cottage ourselves, using locally sourced, sustainable materials. We now host guests in six self catering cottages.
We enjoy welcoming volunteers from across the globe who share our love of nature, who want to live sustainably, and who are enthusiastic about what life has to offer.
We offer paid positions in plumbing, electrical, welding and other such skills.
We feel fortunate to share this special place with people from all over the world who appreciate its natural beauty and embrace its rustic simplicity.
We offer accommodation on the property and an authentic cultural immersion into family life in a Tuscan hill town. Our agriturismo is nestled into an olive and oak grove on the outskirts of a Tuscan hill town with amenities (café bar, restaurant, post office and Etruscan museum) & limited public transport into neighbouring towns or to the coast.
You'll get to meet Andrea’s 90 year old mother in law - Rita - who has had an interesting life, but now struggles with dementia. 4 (outdoor) cats - La Mama, Grigia, Cuoricino, and a new kitten; Lili - live in the grove and love up our guests. Stella and Rodrigo are our resident donkeys who roam the property (and sometimes the village) and are adored by all guests. And George, our rooster, keeps his brood of chickens and chicks in order, and they in turn keep us in eggs!

Alojamiento
You’ll be in a private room with a bathroom close by. This might be in our trailer, in our studio flat, or in our little bunker in the woods.
Algo más...
On your days off you can explore the Maremma, Toscana's wild coastal area, with untouched natural parks, coastal preserves and enchanted hill towns.
Castiglione della Pescaia is the closest seaside town, a charming port town 20 minutes away with historical center and access to beautiful beaches.
Massa Marittima is the region’s capital, a beautiful medieval city with a striking piazza and beautiful duomo, but without the tourist crowds of other Tuscan towns.
Siena is just an hour away - and Rome, Pisa and Florence make for great day/overnight trips.

It is a fantastic place, in location, atmosphere and people. Andrea and Chandra and very generous people and I loved being able to spend time there. I was originally only going to be there for 1month, but ended up staying for 4 months! The jobs vary depending on your skill and time of year.… read more
I could not have asked for a better workaway experience to start with. My first actual workaway experience, and it was fantastic. The communication was superb from the first call with Chandra until the very last moment. All the workaway tasks were… read more

But the best thing that happened to me there was the people. Chandra and Andrea are wonderful and helpful couple. They are incredibly hospitable. Also the rest of the guys I had the pleasure of working with. Ailen, Rodrigo, Kinga and Fede, grazie per tutto! :)

He's a hard worker; always has an eye for helping out; works really well both independently and in a group; and is fun to have around. For example, we needed to clear a large plot of recently purchased land (it was full of brambles) and he would be there early in the morning,… read more
Matias plays wonderful guitar and Pequeña makes delicious food! They are tenacious and willing to learn - we had them dig a huge piece of earth for a future yurt, and they successfully learned to use a huge hammer-jack to drill in rock. Although significantly… read more
Fefa (Stephanie) is similarly capable. She speaks more english than she lets on! And is great with all sorts of tasks, whether cleaning, digging, organizing, or gardening.… read more
Marshall came to us by foot, in the midst of the lock-down, walking the old spiritual paths that crisscross Tuscany. Bold, adventurous, unafraid of hard work, I cannot say enough good things about Marshall. He brought a fantastic energy to our group - lively, personable, engaging, and always eager to help. He always… read more
There are no words to describe the views, the location, and the food!! These were probably the best 3 weeks of my life regarding my gastronomic life! But also regarding hospitality, social life and traveling. All… read more
I had the opportunity to get to know a piece of Italian culture, delight in Andrea's sea cuisine, accompany and share Chandra's artistic life, learn about the daily life of an agritourism place and several other learnings guided by these incredible people.
Last but not least, the presence of NONNA and REGINA, which… read more

Andrea, Julia and la Bella Rita! Alessandro and I miss you and think of our time in Vetulonia everyday. We spent in total about a month with Andrea, but it felt like a lifetime purely because we felt so welcomed, comfortable and at home. There is something so uniquely special about this place and the people there. The work was rewarding… read more

She arrived and immediately became a part of the family:
we will miss her enthusiasm ( not just for winter swimming!) and especially her amazing vegetarian creations will be missed around our table.
Grazie for all your help, Aleksandra!
The property is stunning, the work was enjoyable and not too difficult and Andrea’s cooking is out of this world!
Andrea is so generous and made me feel like family the minute I arrived.
I travelled solo but it… read more
