Description
I'm a 58 years old widow born in Switzerland, but living and loving Italy since 30 years! Together with my husband we built a big country house between the Tuscany hills and the green region of Umbria. Here we have been raising our five children who are now studying and working away. Currently, Im alone and there is always a lot to do, both inside and outside the house: we have 30 olive trees and we make our own oil every year. Since my kids are not around, Im taking some time to renovate the house. There are also some animals to take care of, dogs, cats, and chickens.
Actualy i need for the mounts of March a house -and pet-sitter.maby a couple,because the house Is very isolatet.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Im a open minded woman who traveled around the world and found her place here in the italian coutryside. The area around the house is truly beautiful and many tourists come here to spend their holidays. We live 25 km away from the Bolsena lake; the nearest mountain is also 20 km from here. The house is placed among very important and characteristic cities, such us Siena (80 km), Rome (150 km) and Florence (160 km). All of them are easily reachable by train or car. 15 km away from the house you can find natural hot springs and archeological sites.
Help
There are only smaller tasks to do such as taking care of the dogs, cats and chicken and mawing the lawn. , therefore I am only offering lodging (no food will be provided).
