Consulting Workshops in Italy

So you want to move to Italy and possibly start a hospitality/service (B&B, farmstay, inn or food & wine) business - where to begin?! This is your crash course! Ashley & Jason Bartner (owners of La Tavola Marche & No Half Measures Consulting) and experienced American expats are your hosts for a series of Workshops with the experts  to help offer you the tools and insider information you need for a successful start to your new life in Italy!  This will be an honest, informative, humorous, engaging and inspiring series of seminars/lectures over the five days.
​
Even if you are planning for your retirement or holiday home it's all in the preparation and this intensive & intimate workshop will answer all your burning questions. We hope to provide you with a road map for this journey to make your dream of living in Italy a reality!
​
The first two workshops in 2017 SOLD OUT quickly and we have listened to your requests! We are excited to update our 2018 calendar with 3 new consulting workshops: How to Retire in Italy, How to Start a Business and the Aspiring Innkeepers Bootcamp (a combination of the Start a Business workshop + hands on experience working at our inn & farm during the busy season of August!)

"Four nights and five days of information, conversation, doses of reality checks, all folded nicely together with some of the most decadent and delightfully crafted meals you may ever taste... From the traditional Italian classics like crostini and bistecca to foie gras and asparagus saffron risotto.

 We came to the farmhouse to learn, absorb their knowledge, take the reality of their advice and put it towards our ideas that had walked through their farmhouse doors on the very first night...

Jason and Ashley have created something charming and unique – something that I admire. A dream they had when they were my age, 24, and by 25 – after copious amounts of paperwork, house hunting and Italian bureaucracy – made their dreams a reality. Now, 10 years later, Jason and Ashley sat around their kitchen table telling stories of how fate, hard work, and dedication landed them in the hot seats – teaching new dreamers how to wake up and start living."   ​Read more about this young entrepreneurs experience at our workshop!
