The experience

We are looking for volunteers to help us out in the tasks from the B&B to the Botanical Garden around our property.
We are on a trekking route linking Bologna to Florence in 5 days, our guests usually stay one night and we need help in the morning turning over the beds and cleaning, and usually in the afternoon we take care of the garden or prepare dinner, understanding of italian is important but we do speak english too.
Cheers

Activities & Shift

In summer there are quite a lot of guest and all of them have breakfast, Donatella will serve them and there is the all table to be clean and all the cuttery to be organize .
After the guest leave there is cleaning of the rooms, bathrooms and changing over the beds with new sheets, Donatella will help you choosing the right linen and showing you how to do it.
Usually guests have already left before 9am beacuse they do trekking.
All the beds need to be ready before lunch.

At 13 we have lunch all together and we start again a few hours in the afternoon working in the garden/maintenance.
In the afternoon usually we collet the sheets that have been in the washing machine and hung up in the morning, they have to be folded so Donatella can iron them in the evening.
Usually it is a quick task and we use the spare time to collect herbs.
