Activities & Shift

At our farm stay we have all sorts of work experience for different types of people. Our main concern at the moment is the month of August which is when our restaurant is busiest and we struggle with finding reliable waiting staff. Even if you don't speak Italian we could really do with some support with clearing tables, polishing glassses, cultury etc.
We could also do with an extra pair of hands with the farm sides of things. Feeding, milking, general gardening and ground mainatene. We make the wine in October and we also have over 800 olive trees to cultivate.

Rules

If you check out our whereabouts you will see that we are a 5 minute drive to some of the most beautiful coastlines and beaches in Italy. If you have a car this would be amazing but for the right person we may be able to get transport sorted too. We don't have any specific rules other than to be respectful. We are hoping to meet some good, honest people as we are good people ourselves.
