The Experience

We live on a mountain surrounded by forest, where we grow vegetables and cereals, harvest wild fruits, and are currently building a cob oven and working with wood. Right now, we're looking for help with our chestnut forest (from now until early October). In general, we enjoy welcoming new people who can also spend time with and play with the children.

Como primer experiencia en una casa de familia quiero decir que va a ser difícil de superar. Me sentí muy cómoda, parte de la familia. Tienen unos niños maravillosos que me ayudaron a aprender italiano, y fueron súper amables y compañeros. Margherita es una excelente cocinera y gran trabajadora. En cuanto al trabajo, va a depender mucho de la temporada en la que vengan. Pero son muy respetuosos con los horarios y los tiempos libres. En cuanto al lugar, es un sueño! Ideal para amantes e la naturaleza que quieran desconectar de la ciudad.
