🏡 ABOUT MY PROPERTY
I have an historic country house build in 1881 in Tuscany with 10.000 square meters of garden. My house is located in a protected natural area not contaminated by any form of pollution, where it is possible to see different types of animals living in the free state. I'm developing in my house in Tuscany a beautiful project: I'm creating a place for living, hosting, making yoga and meditation with pool and bubble SPA. Next steps of this project are:
- cleaning many rooms
- cleaning many windows
- cleaning the garden
- help on general manteinance
Please note that you have to follow my instruction on how to do the job. If you don't follow the instruction or don't want to do the job you will invite to leave my property.
For all the work to be done I'm equipped with all the necessary equipment to do it with the least possible effort and the highest level of safety.

Activities & Shift

🔆 MY HOSPITALITY
I ask to worldpacker guests to help me on gardening, painting rooms, cleaning, general maintenance of my project. My plan usually is for half day to work in my property and for the rest of the day to be free having relax in the garden or going around to visit the many interesting things that there are in this area. I will give to worldpacker a private room with ensuite bathroom and breakfast, lunch and dinner with water. My place is NOT for alcohol addicted. I do cooking for my guest using simple and healthy product (eggs, cheese, milk, bread, tomato, pasta, vegetables, fruit, sometimes meat if you like). I can't manage vegan cooking. If you don't like my food you can buy your food with your budget.

⏰ LENGTH OF STAY
