  Cami and Tommy
  
  
  We are a young Italian couple and we just move here in Crete Senesi in Tuscany, Tommy is from Florence, and Camilla from the seaside in a place called Sestri Levante, between Portofino and Cinque Terre. We used to live in London where we met and after a few years we decide to move back to Italy. Last winter we been in Thailand where Camilla became a yoga teacher and Tommy expert in Thai massage! Tommy used to work in a kitchen as a chef and Camilla in sales.
  The place where we need help it's a Borgo in the middle of Crete Senesi, it's in a hill with beautiful view everywhere you watch.You will feel so in contact with the nature (it's also the only noisy you will hear here, infinitive hills everywhere you watch, with Siena on one side, at night the stars will be your company and they feel so close that you can touch them!
  There are 13 apartments nicely made and paint, we need slowly slowly help to decorate it, with forniture and nice details to make a place comfortable but try to be eco as much as possibile. we also would like help in the gardens for the flowers, the grass and the vegetable gardens and cleaning.
  We are 10 minutes away from Val d'Orcia, a unique place with amazing landscape that you only can see here, where many movie are been filming, like The English Patient, La Vita è Bella the Gladiator and most recently Under the Tuscan Sun...
  Val d'Orcia A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004, is an exceptional reflection of the way the landscape was rewritten in Renaissance times to ''reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing picture''. Colonization by the merchants of Siena in the 14th and 15th centuries. They aimed to create a landscape of efficient agricultural units but also one that was pleasing to the eye. The landscape that resulted was one of careful and conscious planning and design and led to the beginning of the concept of 'landscape' as a man-made creation. The landscape was thus created to be efficient, functional, equitable and aesthetically pleasing.
  But not less important here is the traditional food and wine, The area is home to Brunello di Montalcino, one of the most important red wine in all world...the land of truffle! The fresh pasta Pici, the pecorino due of all the sheeps around the hills... and much more, but you can experience once here :-)
  Place to visit near by:
  Siena, Pienza, a Pope’s ‘ideal town’, Montalcino, bagno Vignoni 8batural hot spring, Monticchiello a Borgo on a top of a hill where the time stop long time ago...
  Other activities, fabulous place for cycling while seeing abandoned (and not) castles, old mines, wonderful hill villages, medieval town, walking in footpaths, hot spring, museums...
  We can also teaching you how to cook italian,
  Car is highly highly recommend,
  We have now two dogs, Rudi you probably see in the feedback and Nuvola a puppy
  
  Please note we will leave for about a month from beginning of November and it will be nice to meet some people before and see if it fit both, to stay when we are away, car is necessary if we are not here.
