Algo mais...
Bologna is a beautiful and historical town. Here there is the oldest university in the world. It's the best italian town to stay if you want to visit Italy: 1 hour by train from Venice, Florence, Verona, Mantova, Ravenna, 2 hours from Siena, Pisa, and 2,5 hours from Perugia and Rome with a fast train.
Many volunteers, boys and girls, young or aged, from all around the world stayed here, and we always had good experiences.
I ask some experience of working in the garden, or painting, maintenance...
IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) We can't host people asking for residence. 2) When you stay here we are not on holidays, but we work and study, so it's important that you are an autonomous person.

I stayed with Silvia on September 2024 for almost 2 weeks to start off my trip in Italy. Silvia is super kind and was a great hostess. She made sure I had everything I need and made me food everyday. The location is great, short bus trip away from the center of Bologna which is also located next to other cities that I got to explore during my… read more

Kaylee is a very capable girl, even the things she doesn't know she learns quickly. I appreciated the respect for privacy, education, autonomy and I also spent some fun evenings with her at cultural events in Bologna. Ten days is a short time, but she will be welcome if one day she decides to return in cooler weather! Thank you Kaylee for your… read more

I stayed with Silvia and her family for ten days, and it was wonderful! Unfortunately it was very hot so I couldn’t do much garden work, but I did help with indoor chores. Silvia was very easy-going and a sweetheart, she’s very welcoming and her cooking was so good. The room was cute with it’s own bathroom on the top floor, so plenty of privacy.… read more

This was the most wonderful first workaway experience! I felt so lucky to stay with Silvia and her family in the hills of Bologna, and even though initially I planned to stay only for two weeks in June, I came back for another two weeks in July. Silvia is a very welcoming and experienced host and made me feel at home fast. I did some light work in… read more

This is one of the best workaway experience I’ve had! Sylvia and her family have a lot of experience as hosts, so it was easy to settle in with them. Sylvia has very reasonable expectations of help, and is a great cook. The house is gorgeous in a beautiful serene area on the hills with lots of walks and great views.

Julia has been a member of our family, even if she stayed only two weeks. We were really well with her, and we were sad when she left. We hope to host her again in a better season, out of hot August.

I spent two weeks with Silvia and her family and I had a wonderful time. Her house is beautiful and located in the hillside outside of Bologna. I had plenty of free time to explore the city during the day, but the last bus home is at 7pm so you must plan accordingly. Also, I would love to revisit Silvia in the fall or spring because many shops… read more

Alexandra is a kind, educated girl. She did her tasks in my house very well. She likes spending a lot of time alone, but she also knows how to stay with the others, and she is able of a good conversation. My dog loved her, and all the family was happy to host her. Good luck, Alexandra, for your journey, and for your life|

My experience with Silvia was wonderful. I felt like part of the family from the moment I walked in their door.The work part of the Workaway is minimal - only feeding the dog - which leaves you with plenty of time and freedom to explore Bologna and Emilia-Romagna. Day trips around Emilia-Romagna were very easy. The bus to Bologna is located close… read more

I had a wonderful time staying with Silvia and her family. My job mainly consisted of looking after the dog and the fish (walking/feeding) and I had the rest of the day free to explore the city and countryside. The house is in a beautiful and quiet spot but only 10 minutes drive from Bologna. Silvia, Benji and Susanna were so kind to me and always… read more

Matilde is a quiet, lovely host! She is always ready to help, to talk and she was a good presence in our family. My daughter remembers her as a friend, and she learnt some spanish.
The time to spent together wasn't so long, but it was good and she is always welcome in our house.

I spent a month with Silvia and her sons. They are such a lovely family, although I didn't spend much time with them because they were so busy with work & school.

Silvia and her family are very friendly and easy to get along with, especially if you speak at least a bit of Italian! I stayed for a couple of weeks and had a good time. The work was straightforward, I ate dinner with her family every night, and their house is located in a beautiful area, overlooking gorgeous Italian countryside. It's easy enough… read more

When Lynn stayed with us, we hadn't a lot of time to stay with her. School, work... But she's very indipendent, and a good company. She is SUPER in cleaning and you can have godd conversations with her. She's very organized too, and funny.
Have a good time with her!

Staying with Silvia and her family was a great experience. Friendly and welcoming. Silvia had some great advice for places to visit and the work was just as you would do at home. If you plan right, taking the public transportation works just fine, but if you want to make a longer day of your outing, you can hire a taxi or will want your own… read more
