3. Working holiday

For students, gardeners, or those who want a different experience. You can camp for free in the estate (bring own tents, sleeping bags etc), free facilities and wood for barbeques. We can arrange a free pick up from Genova airport, and you can stay on a 'work with us - eat with us' basis if you wish. In return, we would like you to do some work at the estate: gardening, planting, vineyard work, flowers, woodland management, and other working activities (to be agreed, usually between 3-6 enjoyable hours a day). The work can be anything from really heavy manual to light gardening, depending on your capabilities. Keep some produce from the garden.

4. Wild boar hunting (October)

Accompany, as an observer, a team of experienced local hunters. See how they track the animals using hunting dogs and 4x4 vehicles. Full day, lunch included. You may be able to keep a piece of wild boar meat afterwards. For experienced, licensed and competent hunters it may be possible to arrange joining the local team as an equal partner.

Fees to be agreed

(NB we hold no responsibility for any accidents)

5. Photography week

Stun your friends and relatives with the beauty of your holiday photos. Come and spend a week taking photos with our visiting professional photographer (www.coteriephotos.org.uk). Spend two hours every morning taking photos in different locations, and discuss different techniques/lighting. Excursion in Cinque Terre looking at the fantastic play of lights on the sea and the dolly mixture colour of the houses. On another day we will visit the Beigua Regional Park with its wide variety of flora and fauna. Finally take home a professional photo of you and your loved one in a location you have visited.

NB This activity is only available for just one week every season (exact dates for 2008 to be confirmed, on request).
