Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Help with gardening and ...)

I am not going to write much because it is not necessary. This is a magical family in a magical place. Everything is very positive, specially the energy. This is very much a place that resonates the Workaway spirit. I recommend it as much as I possibly can. Thanks for the wonderful time! I’ll be back often!

Gustavo è stato un ospite eccezionale. Sempre disponibile, rispettoso e con una grande voglia di fare. Si è integrato subito nell’ambiente e ha dato una mano concreta in tutte le attività, sempre con il sorriso. Affidabile e autonomo, ha reso l’esperienza davvero positiva. Consigliatissimo, 5 stelle meritate!

Gustavo is a wonderful person — kind, empathetic, respectful, and eager to help. He is very attentive and curious, genuinely interested in things and in learning from everything around him: customs, food, language…

He stayed with us for almost five months and built a good relationship with the whole family, including our children (who, as… read more

Barbara and Aldo are a very Italian couple, and they live in a very Italian house near Brianza, an area full of beautiful places, important figures and landscapes that sometimes feel like something out of a fairytale. It’s a setting that really gives you a sense of everyday Italian life. Communication is easy because everyone speaks English well,… read more and at the same time they’re happy to practise Italian with you if that’s something you’re looking for.

Viola, their dog, is very calm and gently enjoying her retirement years. The village itself is small and quiet, but you won’t feel isolated. Everything you need is within walking distance, from supermarkets to small local businesses and even the practical bureaucracy things. At first, it might seem like there aren’t many young people around, but they are there. Once you get to know the area a bit better, you can build a surprisingly lively social life. I ended up making more than 50 new friends nearby and was invited out most weekends.

Life in the house is not exhausting, though you are expected to be available during the day in case help is needed, especially with driving. They usually leave their Panda for you to use, which makes things easier. Cooking is part of the routine as well, not every day and not in a rigid way, but as often as you reasonably can.
Barbara is the main person you’ll coordinate with. She’s very present and approachable, so most decisions and day-to-day matters go through her. Aldo travels quite a lot, but when he is home he brings a lot of energy. He often suggests small chores or food ideas and is always curious, well informed and up to date with the news. The kids are currently transitioning into adult life, so they are generally busy studying or out of the house.

Food is an important part of the experience. They eat very well, healthy, organic and balanced meals, and I genuinely felt thinner and healthier while living there. During the day, you’ll probably spend a good amount of time with Viola.

The room they offer comes with a private bathroom and is honestly the size of a big city flat, so you have a high level of privacy. Overall, I had a really good time there. I became friends with neighbours and shop owners, met their family friends, all very kind people, and spent a wonderful Christmas with them, which reminds me of the grandmother who I enjoyed the presence very much.

Important information in my opinion: there is a bus every hour from monday to saturday passing by the house that takes you to Como and Bergamo directly, if you can choose, I would suggest arriving at Bergamo airport, so you get one bus from the airport of bergamo to bergamo autostazione and then the bus 146 leaves you 200m from their house. It is easy to go spend the day in Como or Bergamo and come back at night. Train station kinda requires you to find a ride back and forth. If you are Brazilian too, the bus passes by La Coxineria, in Ponte San Pietro, with brazilian meals everyday, Feijoada on wednesdays.

I would recommend this opportunity to anyone, especially if you’re not looking for a more traditional Workaway experience with large groups on farms or big shared projects, and you’d prefer some free time to study or work in a quiet and private space while experiencing real Italian life. I will probably be around visiting Imbersago for the rest of my life.
