Beschreibung
We’ve transitioned from decades of corporate life in technology, both in the UK and New Zealand, to a more simple life style in the Tuscan hills in Segromigno near Lucca. I'm retired now but my wife is once again working in The Netherlands but is here in Tuscany on a regular basis.
Our home is a converted farm house that was, for many years, used as a summer country home and holiday rental with that being the key focus. Our intent now is to restore the land to once again be a productive olive grove and make the house less tired looking.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Although we are English speaking the local environment is very Italian with little tourism so there is good exposure to Tuscan life stye.

With early summer upon us our focus changes to management of the vegetable and house gardens, and the growth of grass and undergrowth, while still trying to progress with our on-going projects to develop the property.
The primary help needed is to work mainly with maintaining the gardens, hedges and pathways. The pathways include repairs to the track (road) leading to the house. We also still have much wood to be processed and stored and in the in the olive grove clearing the undergrowth and general maintenance of the trees.. Later in the year there is also the annual olive harvest - a great deal of rewarding fun!
No specific skills are required other than being willing to do manual labour. We have suitable equipment for this work including a power barrow.
Our philosophy is "piano, piano" - slowly achieve what's needed (except for olive harvest which is against the clock!)Sprachen

Developing Italian !!Unterkunft
Our home (a listed building of architectural or historical importance) has three spare bedrooms. One with sitting area, balcony and bathroom. The two on the third floor share a common bathroom.
Our kitchen and lounge are common areas and we have a swimming pool for those hot afternoons.
You'll be joining us for meals and you'll be more than welcome to cook and help prepare food. Meal times, as per Italian culture, are times for socialisation. We may even fire up the Pizza Oven always great entertainment.Was noch ...
Although we're rural the local village - Segromigno in Monte, is 25 min walk. More importantly the local cafe is just down the track! Lucca is the nearest town with both Florence and Pisa accessible.
There are numerous walking tracks that pass our home. There are bus services and we're more than amenable to providing transport.Etwas mehr Information
