Il Paretaio are an excellent employer, here you are able to work with the best instructors and amazing horses, the stables are great and you also have a lovely house to live in and the food is incredible. Work may be long and tiring, but everyone here looks after you so well and makes you a part of the Il Paretaio family. I would come back again and again.

I worked at Il Paretaio for about 6 months and I LOVED it!! Cristina and Gianni are amazing, I received fantastic intsruction from them and Jenny, and really improved my riding. You must have a good work ethic here and be able to work as a team, but if you do the rewards are fantastic. Great horses, staff, guests, food (mmmm!) and scenery, and of course the swimming pool! Since working here I have mantained a great relationship with Il Paretaio and have even come back to work the odd week here and there, they have always been good to me and I will never forget the amazing time I had working here. I truly reccommend to people who know how to work hard, who appreciate good horses and good instruction and who can enjoy the adventure!
