  Descrição

  Hi there, we're Sabrina & Hannes, an Italian-Austrian couple, in our 40s. We met many years ago while we were traveling and since 5 years we live together in Tuscany. We spent several years looking for a house where we could live in contact with the nature.  And finally in 2023 we found it and we completely felt in love with this piece of Paradise.
  This year we decided opening our house to share our experience with other travelers.
  
  ABOUT THE WORK
  We need help with different types of duties.
  Now that the warm season is starting we need to repaint the cellar doors and the external railings.
  We need help to carry the wood from the hill to the woodshed.
  And then there is the ordinary maintenance of the garden, cutting the grass, taking care of the plants.
  Rose lovers are welcome, we have many of them ;)!!
  
  We like concrete and positive people with good vibes. Our motto is "Pura Vida",we love to enjoy every day!
  Please Remember: if we are looking for volunteers it is because we need help ... no additional work :/
  So, everyone should try to be as self-sufficient as possible.... :-)
  
  GETTING AROUND
  It's recommendable to have a car to be free to move in the area, we are about 35 km from the center of Lucca. The nearest train station is in Diecimo, it's about 15 minutes driving distance. The nearest village is 5 minutes by car, there you can just find a bar, grocery and a pharmacy.
  If you're traveling by public transport we can offer to pick up you at the train station.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are open minded couple that likes to work, meet people and of course eat good food along with a glass of local wine.
  We look for people who come eager to work, learn, share, and with positive vibes!;-)
  
  You will have a lot of opportunities to enjoy life in nature. There are beautiful trails starting from our house for trekking and biking on mountains or through beautiful landscapes. (You can bring your own bikes) The sea is 30 min away by car and Abetone (skiing area) 45 min
  
  We live next to a very special blacksmith born 1938, he is the only one left in Italy who still works like in the Middle Ages. His workshop is runned by the water channel and his own build water wheels where he produces his own electricity or uses the waterpower directly for his tools. For over five centuries the same craft has been passed down in his family.
  It's a unique place and you'll have the feeling of going back in time!
