  • Description

    Description

    Hello!
    We are Mary and Andrea, an Italian couple that decided to change its life, from firm to farm! We live in a country house in Abruzzo, with 3 hectares of land, some olive trees and a vegetable garden grown in a natural way.

    We are VEGAN, so we'll offer you only cruelty free meals.
    We have two dogs and a cat.

    To facilitate communication, knowledge of the Italian language would be greatly appreciated.

  • Help

    Help

    We are renovating the house, so in this moment we need the help of someone with knowledge in DIY, carpentry, construction etc. The main tasks will be complete a wooden porch and making exterior walls more beautiful.

    About the activities in the vegetable garden, they could be various, such as sowing seeds, transplanting seedlings, searching for slugs or harmful insects, prepare the soil, remove the bad plants, etc...

    Please consider that some activities could be physically hard, overall in the summer.

    The normal cooperation in the house, as maintaining clean the rooms, cooking the meals or washing the dishes, won't be considered part of the work hours.

    In your free time we can organize some excursions or bathing in the sea!

    If everything is okey, please start your message with the word "Fagioli".

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We live 15 minutes from Vasto, a renowned tourist city on the sea. There are many beautiful places and beaches to visit!
    There are also little and interesting Italian cities nearby, like Gissi, Furci, Casalbordino...
    For mountain lovers, an hour's drive is enough to get to the Majella, from where many hiking trails start.

    We are not closer to the town: there are some busses to and from Vasto, but it would be useful having a car to get around.
