  • Description

    Description

    Italy! In the beautiful hills of Oltrepò Pavese, just south of Milan.

    Oltrepò Pavese is still relatively free from mass tourism – we like to call it “the real Italy.”

    My husband and I live in a 150-year-old cascina (an old Italian farmhouse) surrounded by vineyards, rolling hills and nature. Our home is shared with our dogs and cats, and the local wildlife – deer, rabbits!

    Just to be clear: we are not a working farm or vineyard. This is simply our family home.

    I am British and my husband Andrea is Italian. We have three children – although they are not really children anymore!

    Oltrepò Pavese is Italy’s largest wine-producing area, second only to California globally. If you don’t enjoy wine, this may not be the best place for you! The surrounding hills and vineyards face south and the region is often described as a hidden jewel. In some ways it resembles Tuscany, but without the large tourist crowds.

    Our life here revolves around home, family, food, wine and local culture. We have a small wine cellar and enjoy sharing good food and local wines. During the spring and summer we often dine al fresco under the cascina, enjoying the beautiful Italian evenings – la vita bella.
    Our location is also perfect for exploring northern Italy. Nearby you’ll find the Liguria coast, the famous Cinque Terre, the city of Genoa, and of course Milan. Venice is also reachable by train for an overnight visit. There are many charming local villages and vineyards waiting to be discovered.

    Our home is large and there is always something to do. In the summer months we have a swimming pool, bikes, and we spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying the countryside.
    Weekends are often spent exploring the hills with a bottle of wine, bread and local cheese, visiting vineyards, discovering new wines, going to the sea, or simply relaxing in the garden and by the pool.

    What we are looking for
    It is very important that anyone staying with us:
    Has experience with dogs and cats
    Enjoys experiencing different cultures
    Has a positive and easy-going attitude
    Tasks may include:
    Looking after the dogs and cats when we occasionally travel
    General garden work, including mowing the lawn
    Any DIY skills are very welcome
    General household help

    Most importantly, we appreciate people who are happy, positive and enjoy being part of a family environment.

    We always arrange a video or WhatsApp call before confirming anything, as it’s important for everyone to feel comfortable.
    A few important notes
    We are not a meditation or spiritual retreat. If that is what you are looking for, we may not be the right hosts.
    We are not a hotel or B&B. This is a family home, and we eat and socialize together.
    No smoking in the house or garden.
    Please try to communicate in English.

    Once we respond to your message, we expect a reply within one week, as we receive many requests.
    Please make sure you read our profile carefully before contacting us – we receive many generic messages that we cannot answer.
    Bonus!
    If you have sailing experience or qualifications, please let us know. In our spare time we love sailing and this could be a great help.

    Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. We look forward to hearing from you.
    Claire & Andrea
