Descrição
We are Giulia and Gianni and we live in a country house on the hills near Florence.
We have two daughters (aged 8 and 14), two cats, friendly neighbours. In November we pick olives from our grove and we need help!You will be able to see the oil-making process from the olive tree to the final product, the best extra-virgin olive oil! You will live at the family's pace during one of the most exciting times of the year for us, you will cook and consume meals with the family (Giulia is a professional cook and oil tester) and you'll have plenty of time to visit Firenze, Siena, Pisa...
private double room with bathroom :-)

We have a guest room with twin beds and private bathroom. If you particularly appreciate privacy and the sounds of nature, you are of course free to borrow our tent and accommodate yourself in the garden
Algo mais...
We appreciate company as much as help, and we do not ask for long hours of help (Gianni works in an office in Firenze, while Giulia is home for most of the time, so she can be a good company). We live a relaxed life, apart from when the hectic time of olive picking arrives, in october/november. It is a hard working time, but with a lot of satisfaction when you see fresh, green extra virgin oil coming out of the mill and strainght on your loaf of bread. Public buses arrive 20-30 minute walk away from where we live, but we can arrange for car rides up and down the hill!

Deixado pelo Workawayer (Jodi) para o anfitrião

I spent two weeks in November 2024 with this lovely family helping with the olive harvest. It was hard but rewarding work in a congenial atmosphere. I felt right at home the day I arrived. Giulia and Gianni are good communicators, so I always knew what to expect and what was expected of me. Most work days I joined them in the olive groves, but a… read more

How can I possibly sum up how wonderful this family is? I've held off posting this feedback for a while (my apologies Giulia and Gianni!) mostly because I'm still processing what an amazing experience it was to stay with Gianni, Giulia and their family. Immediately I felt welcomed into their home as a guest that quickly became a member of the… read more family. I never felt like they considered my stay temporary or unimportant. They always made me feel so valued and appreciated.

Picking olives with them was such a fun experience. The working days are long but they fly by because the work is so fulfilling. And nothing compares to tasting their organic olive oil when it has been freshly pressed!

Their daughters are such fun, bright and creative young people. I visited right around Halloween and had such a delightful time sharing American Halloween music and traditions with them both. I felt like a big sister to both girls and was honored that they included me in their game playing. Babysitting them was a pleasure and never felt like a chore!

Gianni and Giulia are genuine, kind people. I am so grateful that they opened their home to me and were so willing to share their culture and daily lives with me. Especially with the crazy pandemic times right now, it was so interesting to hear their take on the situation and their lives in Italy. I feel like I left them with new perspectives and eyes that have been opened. I highly recommend this family for a true, immersive cultural exchange.

As for daily life, Giulia is modest but her cooking is quite good. You will definitely eat well here. I am not strictly a vegetarian, but I loved experiencing this plant based diet and felt so nourished and healthy. Giulia is a fountain of knowledge for all things Italian cuisine and I loved learning from her about their way of cooking. As a workawayer, my schedule was set extremely fairly. Giulia and Gianni are very open communicators and they always made clear to me what was considered "work" and free time. Even with a busy schedule olive picking, babysitting occasionally, helping with dishes, tidying up and etc. I felt I had plenty of time to explore the region and enjoy Tuscany on my days off. Their home is in a perfect location to enjoy nature and the surrounding countryside as well as also getting into Florence to see some sights. However, I found that the best time was spent in their home experiencing family life.

I left Gianni and Giulia's home feeling loved and seen, and that I'd made lifelong friends. They truly made my trip to Italy so special and for that I am forever grateful. Grazie mille, Gianni and Giulia!

Lena was part of the family from the first moment she arrived, and we felt it so true also in comparison to another couple of workawayers we were hosting at that time...
She is physically and mentally strong, and worked long hours with enthusiasm; in fact, she didn’t look at the watch and was focused on the result (picking olives) just like us.… read more

Giulia, Gianni, and Bia are an absolutely wonderful family. I had a great time with them and always felt comfortable in their lovely home. They were very clear about what help was needed and when, and the work was both enjoyable and rewarding. I mostly babysat Bia, helped with projects around the house, and did some light housework. I had a… read more
