My experience at the home was truly wonderful! Dean and Anna are such a kind, welcoming, and lovely couple who make every volunteer feel part of the family. I had the pleasure of helping with Anna Ferraro's social media, as well as supporting in the kitchen and sharing everyday moments that created a real sense of community. After two months surrounded by British English, it was also lovely to practise my English and discover more about the American accent. I'm truly grateful for this opportunity and wish Dean and Anna all the very best. Thank you for everything! :)

Dean and Anna are lovely and welcoming people. They are open to dialogue, flexible and always willing to have a conversation. I really enjoyed my experience with them and appreciated the opportunity to get to know the area and their way of life.
The location is also very convenient, with easy access to the nearby town by bus. There are also artistic performances and cultural activities, which made the experience even more interesting.
Overall, I had a very positive experience and I’m grateful for the time I spent with them.

My stay with Dean and Anna was fantastic from start to finish. They offer a genuinely warm, welcoming rural Italian experience, the kind of hospitality that makes a trip memorable. They took care of everything (bedding, towels, food), and the setting itself captures authentic countryside charm.
If you're looking for a warm, home-away-from-home stay in Varzi, I'd highly recommend Dean and Anna without hesitation. Grazie mille!

It was an amazing experience Living with Anna and Dean, since the first day I felt the warm of a home, the house is beautiful and my room with a wonderfull view of the montains, they offered me a very lovely experience, sharing value moments, playing music with Anna, going out to spend time with locals, cultural events, tour for the beaurifull town of Varzi, Dean taught me abot the history. I loved deep talks before meals, rehearsing music with Ana, doing small concerts in the music room with visitor at home, everything felt magic. I really loved helping them to get their home better.

I spent a month with Dean and Anna, and I felt like family. Their warmth, sensitivity, generosity, and social awareness make this place something special.
The connection between Anna and music and Dean's great work is fantastic. Sharing ideas, supporting each other, and working together was a real pleasure.
The house is beautiful, surrounded by nature and with lovely views of the mountains. A place that is a true balm for the soul, ideal for disconnecting and finding peace.
P. D.: The best oatmeal of my life I had here.
Thank you for everything!✨

Spending a week with Anna and Dean was lovely, I loved our meals that lasted for hours and we talked about all possible topics. They are both very open and sociable. I really felt that our relationship developed over the days and that was beautiful!
The work was a little demanding at times, but we usually managed to do everything in a few hours, which left me free for the rest of the day. And they were quite flexible.
The house is large and the room they provided for me was incredible (one of the best beds I’ve ever slept in) and with a beautiful view overall.
