This is an small village in the beautiful mountains from Italy. Here John, Jenny and the dog Lui live. They are really kind and humble people who will welcomed you into their house. They eat what they grow, own vegetables, own wine, own bread etc which is amazing. They respect the five hour deal and the 3 meals. You will have free time to explore the surrounding or work in your own stuff. I learned a lot avoid plating and taking care of the animals. Please don't doubt coming here, it is amazing place. Lui is amazing, you will love him.

Jenny cooks very well, Joff has great stories, the house is beautiful. The dog LUI is tamed and Friendly.The little town of Motrone is a very beautiful medieval place. They should have more accurate communication and respect the app's working schedules. The accommodations are good, they could get a room with better acoustics. I had the opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful places in my life and I also had a lot of contact with nature. The work is more or less calm. But it has its responsibilities. It's not a hotel, if you stay you should HELP, set the table, cook and wash the dishes.

Mis tareas fueron sencillas, alimentar en las mañanas las codornices, dejar salir los gansos en la mañana y guardarlos en la tarde y limpiar algunas casas donde se hospedaron invitados. Debes cocinar tus comidas fuera de tus horas. El día empieza muy temprano como en toda granja y a las 12 estarás libre, (una hora más a las 17h). Siento que Geoff se siente más cómodo con personas hablantes de inglés. Él necesita ayuda en tareas muy básicas, pero suele pedirlas con bastante complicación. Tiene un solo sistema para hacer las cosas no muy flexible. Me hubiera gustado conocer a Jenny
