    Looking for an enriching experience in Italy?
    My name is Barbara and I am 66 years of age.
    I live in a house overlooking the southern side of the Berici Hills and I am just about to sell my cute, isolated farmhouse for the next 6 to 12 months. At the farm I have a nice yurt that I can rent or where I can host a skilled single female helper or couple to help decluttering, housekeeping, permaculture gardening and a little maintenance in the house.
    Normally we grow our own vegetables and pick the edible herbs that grow on the property.
    Biodiversity is a must here and we also harvest seeds for exchange.
    We live with one lovely big black dog - Tara - 5 cats and about 30 chickens more or less. Along with Leghorn chicken, we breed Polverara, an ancient chicken breed feeding with natural feedstuff and we need help to do the chicken coop cleaning.
    Among requested skills, we'd love to host a good DIY "engineer" as soon as possible!
    Along with my family and friends, I generally eat simple local natural food, some of it is grown by us.
    Though we are no vegan/vegetarians, we do eat meat sometimes, if you are, please let us know beforehand as well as if you are allergic to anything.
    We love to hear other people's stories and cultures and we only host helpers with references, travel insurance, photograph. They need to be clean, tidy, enthusiastic and polite who are prepared to work Monday to Saturday for about 4 to 5 hours per day, starting from 8.30 or 9am, including the time needed to clear the table and clean the kitchen after meals. So wakeup call will be at 7/7:30 depending if you need to exercise, walk or meditate
    On weekends everybody, including us, will be off duty from Saturday 2pm but of course we are flexible in case you plan a full weekend away.
    We are, and like, open minded people and polite smokers. We provide limited quantities of wine during meals and we do not provide hard liquors. Smoking, eating and alcohol drinking in the bedroom is not permitted.
    We do not accept extra animals.

    PS: CITIZENSHIP RECOGNITION SEEKERS: Unfortunately due to the present situation and rules in the territory where I live, I can host for this purpose but I don't guarantee the public offices be as you expect.

    Ciao for now! Barbara

    I think travelers might benefit from our life experience, culture and the beauty of the territory where we live.
    With their help I'd like to organize little cultural events in the spring/summer season.

    My Eco life project requires maintenance, gardening and help in the house like help keep the house clean and tidy, wash dishes and leave the kitchen clean and tidy if I'm busy in other ways.
    So the required skills are as gardner, mason, electrician, carpenter plus interior decoration and renovation ideas will be most welcome.
    I take care of the animals and the vegetable garden, but I'm not very skilled in general construction and maintenance. So the more skills in that area the better.
    This is an old house, difficult to keep very warm, so if you suffer cold, please be prepared with warm clothing. There are electric blankets that you'll switch of while you sleep.

    Helpers can benefit from a very beautiful and cultural area, Vicenza (30 mins away by car) and the famous ancient Palladian Villas district, wonderful food and trekking area. Venice is about one hour away by train and Verona (Romeo and Juliet's true town) is a little more than half hour away. Padova and thermal centers are within 1 hours drive, walking experiences and lots going on in the whole Region starting with the spring throughout the fall.
    In rare cases, we also take non helping guests. In that case I'll be charging 10€/day as costs contribution.

    TRANSPORT: Helpers will be picked up and taken to/from the nearest railway or bus station on arrival/departure dates, if needed, for a 5€ contribution each trip. Except on Sundays (unfortunately!) you can count on public transport to and from Vicenza, stopping not far from our home quite frequently mornings and afternoons during the week. Extra lifts can be negotiated.
