The Experience

We are a big funny family that lives in a beautiful house and we rent 4 rooms to guests as well as having a small private club where we organize events, shows and parties. We need a volunteer who is willing to join our family for just a little while.The volunteer will have to help us in all the activities of the house, from the garden to the swimming pools, reception for guests and general cleaning of the rooms.

My experience here was great. The family is so nice and welcoming and makes you feel like you are part of the family. They are clear in what needs to be done and you can always talk to them and ask questions, they are so nice. The work is pretty easy and can consist of babysitting, cleaning b&b apartments/the house, working in parties they host or working outside with maintenance. You can take a bike or the buss very easily to the city, have loads of places to hang out around the house and garden, they cook great food and you really get immersed in the italian life. Great altogether:)

Ciao a tutti :) Spending time at the farm was a wonderful experience. Francesca and the whole host family were very friendly and welcoming straight from the beginning. My main task was to take care of two adorable little girls. They were a joy to be around, full of energy and every day with them was a lot of fun. Also I cleaned the guest rooms with the other volunteers, whom I shared a small apartment with. I loved every meal when the whole family was at the table together. I am really grateful for how open and trusting everyone was. Spero di tornare un giorno! Grazie di cuore per tutto!

The family makes you feel welcome from the beginning. They are super nice and Fran is a great cook. The tasks are easy and according to planned. Although I had to leave soon I appreciate you all, thank you for the time shared together and for opening the doors to your incredible home.

Esperienza incredibile, famiglia gentile e accogliente... lo consiglio vivamente! Lo scambio è giusto e la convivenza è piacevole, oltre alla possibilità di connessione con la natura e gli animali della villa. Sono molto felice, per tutta l'accoglienza e l'affetto.
