  Description

  We are a married couple, Stefano and Cristina, who have been living in a country house on the outskirts of Rome for several years, a farmhouse where Cristina's grandparents and then parents lived before us. We are two visual artists and previously lived about 10 years in Berlin. Cristina is also a yoga and Yoga massage teacher. Stefano is a Zazen practitioner for many years. In our country house live with us our beloved dog "Oro" (a big white Italian shepherd dog probably crossed with a golden retriever) three cats (in the garden): mom Cometa and two young cats Pablo and Frieda, and four chicken (Ruth, Grilde, Eliodora and Cecilia)
  
  Our property is located a few kilometers from Rome's metropolitan transportation (METRO-A Battistini and regional train station La Storta/Formello) therefore it is well connected to the center of Rome but it is necessary to have your own transportation to get to these stations. We can provide couple of bikes to get from home to the public transportation.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  On the property we carry out many permaculture gardening and tree-planting projects with a focus on natural farming methods. We are vegetarian and interested in vegan culture and own production of various foods and preserves. Depending on the seasons a variety of fruits and vegetables from our garden are added to our diet.

  Aide

  At the moment we are giving priority to requests from couple (friends or lovers) who can come in October until mid November to help us with Olive Harvest. If people apply alone have to be open to share a living space with another Volunteer.
  
  Depending on the periods we will need different forms of help:
  
  1) Home sitting + management of watering plants and feeding cats and chickens (mosy during second half of August and start of September)
  
  
  2)Assistance with farm tasks such as olive picking (October and start of November).
  3) DIY, de cluttering and building tasks. For example we are trying to de clutter our huge garage, arrange for a wood workshop and setting up a sculpture studio for Cristina. (Other period of the Year).

  Hébergement

  We offer our Workawayers an independent studio apartment with separate access to the large garden. The apartment is equipped with a kitchenette, refrigerator, bathroom with shower, air conditioning, a mezzanine where you can sleep, internet (FWA) and a sofa and television with access to major streaming services.
  The studio apartment is connected to the main buildinf but it is also completely independent.
  
  If we are present we can share some meals, If we are absent (house sitting) we will leave fresh and frozen food available for guests. Since we are vegetarians there is usually no meat in the house for huma consuption.

  Autres infos...

  Since the main transportation stations to go to the center of Rome are a few kilometers away from the house we strongly recommend that guests come with their own transportation so that they can be free to come and go from the city independently.
  If we are there we can offer rides to train station or center of rome with our car. We also can lend two bikes if you leave a deposit.

  Possibilité d’accueillir les digital nomads

  our internet connection is an FWA from Vodafone (no direct fiber arrives here). This is a connection that allows normal internet use of streaming services but not suitable for those who need very large and continuous data streams over time.
