Deixado pelo Workawayer () para o anfitrião (Help at our mountain hut ...)

This experience exactly fited my expectations, and even more :

- The place is beautiful ! Hikes around the refuge are really nice : there are minimum 4 to do within the day, before or after the working shift (between 1 and 2 hours walk both ways) and one I did to the "Giaf" refuge without taking the car (in 2 days). The accomodation is great : I … read more was slightly worried about sharing a bathroom in the caravan, but there actually is one a few steps away from it, in which clients don't go in the evening nore in the morning. I actually enjoyed very much this doll house with an amazing view on the mountain. The refuge is the nicest I saw in the surroundings !

- The welcoming was perfect to me : I really felt integrated, although my Italian level was a begginer one (though, I studied it 1 year and a half a few years before). By the way, I think it is better to speak a little bit of Italian to simplify the communication with Roberta and Sebastiano :). I was super happy to have the opportunity to speak as much Italian and that they were patient enough not to switch in English ! We were having lunch and diner together, these were very nice moments to share. I thought they would have very few time to spend for these moments because of all the work they had to do, but they were very well organized, so it was actually some very quality time. Everybody was extremely nice and warm, without forcing it : it all felt very natural. Girolamo, Roberta and Sebastiano and their friends helping them are funny, simple, respectful and interesting people. The atmosphere was very good. Sometimes we played games together, it was fun !

- The working time was very fair to me : the 4 hours work a day was very well respected (sometimes it was 3, sometimes 5, but most of the time 4). The work to do was very clear. It was not difficult to separate working time and free time, which I worried a little bit before. The kitchen is great which makes work smoother than I experienced before in a mountain refuge. Girolamo spent a morning with me to explain me everything, which I appreciated a lot.

Another workawayer was with me during the period and it went very smooth with her (sharing the caravan was made easier thanks to curtains to maintain privacy).
There was also a couple helping Girolamo, Roberta and Sebastiano : they are friends of the family coming in the summer to help them. It was nice to be more numerous to work there.

It can be nice to come with a car to be more free to discover the region. For me who hadn't one, I only stayed around the refuge. For 2 weeks, it was great. But maybe for a longer time it can get a bit fustrating not to discover more of the Dolimites (although it may be possible with public transportation, but it is not that easy).

I took a tent but I did't have the opportunity to use it. This is not absolutely necessary, as there are plenty of refuges around (although they are not the cheapest ones). You can put your tent in many places though, I thought that the rules for bivouac would be stronger : most of the time you can pitch it next to refuges.

I highly recommend this place !!

Tra le richieste di Workaway che abbiamo ricevuto quella di Sabine è spiccata tra le altre perché, oltre alla dedizione dimostrata per sobbarcarsi di un viaggio lungo e impegnativo per raggiungerci, aveva espresso la volontà di fare una esperienza in Italia per imparare l'italiano (nonostante conoscesse già svariate altre lingue).
