Program Details

After hosting many volunteers we have the idea that everyone leaves our home having aquired some sort of skill or knowledge, wether it be pool management or painting, cooking( we spend a lot of time in the kitchen) or pruning olive trees, driving a manual shift car or cleaning a bathroom.
On the other hand we have learned so much from volunteers not only skills but also stories of all kinds, connecting with people getting to know them and sometimes becoming friends.


This part of Italy is wonderful, and has an amazing history.
We have met so many great people through workaway we look forward to continuing in the future.
We will do all we can to make sure you have a great stay with us, and you will do all you can to help keep us from being swollwed up by this house and
Mother Nature.
