Description
Family of three seeking a peaceful, furnished home in Italy for approximately June 13 – July 5, 2026 (dates flexible). Open to home exchange (reciprocal or non-reciprocal) or rental. Looking for a quiet, family-friendly setting with access to nature, walkable town or village center, and good internet. Proximity to mountains or swimmable lakes/seaside preferred. Outdoor space, kitchen, and washer strongly preferred. Baby/toddler-friendly features welcome but not required. One adult works remotely and will need a reliable workspace and internet connection for light part-time hours. In exchange, we can offer a comfortable, well-maintained home in Western Massachusetts, with a large yard, peaceful setting, and easy access to Boston, NYC, and regional cultural areas. Also open to offering a second home in Albany, NY, depending on your needs. Experienced, clean, and respectful travelers. Open to discussing flexible arrangements that support calm, extended summer living.
