Área: Umbria

Help needed on the 20 June to end July 2013 We farm alpacas on the outskirts of the beautiful hilltop town of Montone,north of Perugia in Umbria. However we live in the historic market town of Umbertide overlooking the River Tiber and our beautiful apartment is built into the old town walls and is the perfect place from which to explore the rolling Umbrian countryside. Just a few steps from the apartment you'll find yourself in the centre of the market square - perfect for an early morning coffee or an evening drink - with plenty of amenities including cosy restaurants, an indoor swimming pool, parks and river walks. We need a couple, or two friends, to come and help to care for the alpacas while we have a holiday. However we will spend a week with you first to show you the ropes. If you have cared for horses , livestock or indeed alpacas the work is not onerous and there is an english-speaking vet on hand.
