As soon as i arrived i felt very comfortable. Paolo and Silvia came to the boat with Thera to greet me and showed me around.
My quarters were very beautiful, comfortable and quiet.
I enjoyed helping in the garden and other tasks.
I felt like family very early. Silvia's parents and brother live next door and are absolutely charming.
I met
… read more many friends and we went out together many times.
Ancona downtown is a nice 20 minute walk.
The land is beautiful and the many plantation need attention and maintenance.
Paolo and Silvia are very ecological and embrace sustainable culture. They are flexible, fun and sociable.
I had a two week frame only but I want to go back and/or keep in touch as friends.
Thank you!!

It’s been a great pleasure having Jackie with us. I think we could not have a better Workawayer: Jackie is reliable, always ready to help and easy learning. She is at the same time not intrusive in the house and willing to have a conversation and enjoy being together in a relaxed and charming way. She also adapts easily to any situation,
… read more appreciating and not giving for granted what she's offered. She’s fond of cooking, which we appreciate a lot, and she puts all of her skills and curiousity in it. My whole family has a very high consideration of her. I don’t know if she’ll plan new Workaway experiences in her future, but if she will just open your doors wide to her, you will definitely love her company. Thank you Jackie, hope to have you back with us one day!

I stayed with Silvia, Paolo, Linda, and Michele in Ancona for around a month. I feel so lucky to have met them and to have had such an incredible experience for my first workaway and first-time solo traveling. The family was extremely welcoming and made me feel very safe and comfortable from the beginning.
The living accommodations were very
… read more comfortable - I had my own room and bathroom which were in a separate downstairs area of the house so it felt like I had a lot of space and privacy. The house itself was lovely and clean. The house was on a property next to Silvia’s parents' house in the countryside. I spent many hours walking around and exploring the areas surrounding their house. The city center of Ancona was around a 30-minute walk from their house (there are some steep hills but very doable in my opinion). The city of Ancona was small but fun to explore and the surrounding hills and sea were stunning!
The work was mainly gardening and some chores in the house - usually Silvia would text me in the morning or tell me the night before a few tasks she wanted me to complete for the day. They have a beautiful garden, so often I helped to fertilize the plants, pull the weeds, or harvest, wash, and prep some vegetables. Sometimes Silvia would ask me to help cook one part of lunch or dinner, such as preparing cabbage from the garden, or occasionally to vacuum or do other random household tasks. Generally, the work was never more than a couple hours a day. Silvia and Paolo both speak English well, but they wanted me there to help them improve their English as well as their kids through having conversations with them at dinner and throughout the day. They also gave me the flexibility to take time off from work and to travel - I was able to spend a night in Bologna and could have travelled more although I was having so much fun at the house I didn’t want to leave :)
Silvia and Paolo went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and included at all times. On the weekdays they were at work a lot of the day (sometimes they would come home for lunch), but we would always have dinner together and spend time together in the evenings. On the weekends I went along with them as they spent time with their friends, went out to dinner, hiked, and walked on the beach - they made an extra effort to show me around Ancona and the surrounding areas. It was always super fun to spend time with the family; they were warm and generous.
Exchanging recipes and learning about Italian food/cooking and culture were some of my favorite memories with the family. They are incredible cooks!! They were extremely accommodating to me being vegetarian, which I really appreciated.
Because they are in a somewhat chill location, I would say this workaway would be a perfect experience for someone who loves walking around, exploring by themselves, cooking, eating, reading, relaxing, or maybe has some part-time remote work - and not the best for someone looking to meet a lot of young people or party. I loved every second I spent with Silvia and Paolo and can not recommend staying with them enough! Please feel free to contact me if you want any more information!Vous pouvez seulement contacter les workawayers avec une adhésion active.
