Agriturismo CZ

Me and my partner Jo moved to Umbria, Orvieto to follow our dream of living and working in Italy, we are passionate about sustainable olive farming and creating a fantastic stay for all our guests. We've had many people stay with us and help us out, its a fun place to be, its pretty rural and quiet most of the time but there are some lovely local villages and towns within walking/cycling distance. If you enjoy for the most part working outside on the land and lets face it mostly quite tough manual work even if you've never done it before and you are willing to learn we can show you! Depending on how busy we are there is also cleaning apartments and basic DIY. After we finish work at lunchtime time is your own...in the past we have had single travellers but because all your afternoons and evenings plus days off are your own then unless you love your own company friends or couples seem to work best.

Jo and I live and work in the main farmhouse with our black labrador Jack, we are probabaly half way through a huge renovation of the house, we pride ourselves in creating a great environment for volunteers to enjoy, some friendly chat, and some great food. We expect 5/6 hrs a day for 5 days a week volunteering in exchange for food and accommodation. No two days are the same, work is varied and can range from strimming to planting to looking after olive trees, log splitting , clearing land and obviously cleaning. If the weather is bad we also have inside jobs like furniture restoration or painting. We speak English and are learning Italian.
