Descrição
We have so enjoyed hosting Workaway guests - and what positive experiences!
I'm an American originally from Wisconsin, living in Umbria, Italy for over 40 years. My husband Pino (Italian, from Sicily - 2 languages spoken in our house) and I farmed for over 12 years while raising our three children and I ran an English language school for adults and children here in the Assisi area. I became a registered Umbria tour guide in 1997: the only American authorized Regional Guide of Umbria.
I have also taught Umbrian rural cuisine here in our Assisi farmhouse (and formally, also in the U.S. each year in Feb/Mar)
Our farmhouse overlooks our olive groves and vineyard here in the rolling hills outside of Assisi (7 km from one of the world's most stunning medieval hill towns) - the location is one reason our Workaway guests love it here.
Another highlight? Accomodations: own studio apt right behind our farmhouse, built in stone by husband Pino - beamed ceilings and own patio out front with views! We have a vegetable garden and chickens offering fresh veggies and eggs daily. My husband raises goats, we have three donkeys, two Maremanno sheep dogs and cats... -

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Here on our land, you can learn much about rural Umbrian life and also Italian as my husband Pino does not speak English.. Helping me in the kitchen, you can also learn traditional Umbrian rural cuisine. As a I am an Umbrian tour guide, I'm happy to share information on our wonderful region of Umbria. We live in the Natural Park of Mount Subasio which offers many gorgeous treks and a fresh water stream below our house - for a dip in the summer. Our region is full of beauties to visit, some of which are easily reachable with train or bus from Assisi - though having your own car is a bonus as it is easy and gorgeous to drive around!
At times, we might have you sharing the apartment with another Workawayer so kindly let us know if you do not enjoy staying in company. -

Ajuda
We need some help in our house. i.e., general cleaning, help in the kitchen and cooking with me (I will teach you all the secrets of Italian cuisine!).
We need help on the land, watering and weeding - weather permitting. Fowl and goats need to be fed daily and the goats' stall cleaned out.
I often post short videos on my YouTube channel -ask me for the link - and so simple video editing skills appreciated.
We have 2 rental apartments on our land, as well but all cleaning is done by paid professional help.
We live on 4 hectares/8 acres and have olive trees, a small vineyard, a small vegetable garden, some fruit trees, goats, a few chickens, a couple donkeys. We also have two friendly sheep dogs and and 5 friendly cats (outdoor animals): abandoned ones that adopted us! -

Acomodação
Studio apartment with a double bed, bathroom with shower and fully-equipped kitchen and free wifi. The apartment is in a separate building from the main house, with two other apartments (which are sometimes rented to tourists). An outdoor space is yours with a table for meals outdoors. There is limited transportation to and from town, so having your own car would be a great plus! BUT, we are often heading to town and happy to give you a ride quite often,
Small store, cafe and good country restaurant nearby, easy to walk. -

Much has already been said about this host. I can only agree (clean accommodation, good and rich meals, always hints concerning sparetime activities etc.)
But, what I really want to highlight is how lovingly Anne and Pino treat their animals - goats, chicken, dogs, cats. I really enjoyed watching that.
I'd return for a workaway anytime.

Although Workawayers should be only working 5 hours a day/5 days a week, these two often worked longer and with enthusiasm.

Annie & Pino, we were so sad to leave! Thank you for sharing this time with us. Your home is a piece of paradise and to us it represented generations of stories and many moments of shared love. That love is still very visible. Grazie di tutto, non ti dimenticheremo mai.

What a delight to have Rosy and Henry here with us: always cheery and pleasant and eager, hard workers. Sometimes, the only complaint? Getting them to go "off duty"!
And Henry's freshly-baked bread was an extra surprise. We truly enjoyed their company and having them join us for lunchtime - and although they are both vegans, providing them foods … read more

This was our first workaway and a really good experience. We stayed for just over three weeks with Anne and Pino who have created an amazing space in the hills outside of Assisi -– the farm and surrounding countryside are so beautiful and peaceful. We loved being on the farm itself, with all the animals – donkeys, goats, chickens, dogs, cats - and

Our first time as workawayers and a very good experience. Anne and Pino are big hearted people and also ate their "kids" as Anne called them, Giulia and Keegam who were there twice.
Their farm is a great and quiet place. To get all organised, farm, main house and apartments, there are enough work for two people. Good food. We miss them and also … read more

I’ve only stayed one week with Anne but it was a great and special time. First of all the appartement you stay in is amazing as it is very well equipped and offers you some privacy. Though I was not isolated at all as I was mostly eating together with Anne and often with family and friends that came over. It was the perfect mix between having some
