    Description

    Hello!
    We are Mauro and Sara. Our family has lived since 2015 in a restored old stone house in the countryside of the Montefeltro area, between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, where Raffaello, Piero della Francesca and Leonardo da Vinci had their inspiration for the landscape of their paintings.
    Moreover, we are close to Furlo Gorge Natural Reserve, where eagles, deers, and boars live in a peculiar geological setting known by many researchers worldwide.
    In this surrounding, we can host active and enthusiastic people.
    We have fields, a garden, an orchard and wood; our house is a “work in progress”, and we need help with farming and housework.
    We are also travellers and like to meet people and exchange experiences.

    In recent months, we have received many proposals for extended stays because of the request for Italian citizenship. We are sorry, but WE CANNOT HOST PEOPLE FOR MORE THAN 2-3 WEEKS. Thanks.

    The timetable of help will be organised together. We think at least five h/day for 5day/week, depending on weather conditions and availability of materials.
    We need someone who cuts the grass, collects and stores wood, helps with minor building works, cleans the house, harvests the plantation (if the time), etc.
    We do not accept smokers, and we prefer a COUPLE who want to stay two weeks at least.

    What else ...

    Many activities can be done in the area: cycling (also mountain biking), river swimming, mountain hiking, climbing, and beach life (half an hour by car).
    If you like cultural heritage, here there are plenty of places (from Romans – Furlo - to Renaissance – Urbino – town) with archaeological sites (i.e. Forum Sempronii) and museums (i.e. Urbino Ducal Palace). Umbria and Tuscan Regions are not far.
    During summer (but also during the other seasons), the area has plenty of cultural (i.e. mediaeval music) and gastronomic (i.e. village fairs) events.
    We can offer internet access.
