Madonna del Rancio

Urgently we are looking for an House Sitter for 10 days in March (20/30th March) to look after our house and work with two other volunteers. Please send us a message if interested. Merci!!

Recently arrived in Italy, we are Benedicte and Eric and we decided to set up a country house in Umbria to accommodate anyone who needs to take a break from their life journey and regain desire and energy. For this project, we really believe on the benefits of exchanging experiences and sharing talents in a calming and inspiring natural setting, with a magnificent view of the surrounding hills.
Our house, which has the privilege of being built around a church from 1066, is located 2 km from the village of Magione, 5 km from the superb lake of Trasimeno and 20 km from surprising Perugia. You will have the opportunity to discover the richness of the Region (Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Siena...).
We are looking for helpers who can participate in the renovation work of the house, in the creation of the vegetable garden, in the development and maintenance of the 5 hectares of woods, in imagining the evolution of the church or to share their artistic, manual or culinary skills. The helpers will be accommodated in one of the 8 rooms of our house and fed at the community table.

Volunteers will be welcome to choose among the few different tasks to do around the house and the property. It can be : organizing the vegetable garden, cutting wood, painting rooms , decorating the church...amongst other...

I loved my experience at Madonna Del Rancio! Truly so grateful I got to experience this as one of my first work exchanges- Ben and Eric were such welcoming hosts, flexible with work hours, and my favorite part was getting to cook for eachother every day for Lunch and share recipes with one another. The area was also so peaceful and definitely a good escape from reality for a little bit. Overall the work hours were super reasonable and we always found a way to make the tasks fun! Missing Cacio, Panna, and Pistachio already :) 🐈

I couldn't recommend this Worldpackers experience enough! Ben and Eric were the absolute sweetest hosts, and I've never felt more at home. The work we were given was very straightforward and doable, and the hours were perfect! I went with a friend, and we had so much time to explore during our off time. Also, the other volunteers became our best friends along with their adorable cats and kittens (Pistachio was my favorite). But overall, this experience raised my expectations, and now I want to come back every summer!

My experience at Madonna del Rancio was simply one of the best I’ve ever had. Ben and Eric are incredibly welcoming and always willing to help. The work is light and pleasant: we dedicate only three hours in the morning, leaving the rest of the day free to enjoy as we wish. There’s also a car available for volunteers, which makes it easy to explore the charming villages in the area. The cultural exchange is truly enriching and makes each day even more special. I came with my sister, and we ended up extending our stay — Madonna is simply impeccable.
