What else ...
We are positive and open-minded people, We had some workaway experiences last year in Finland and Estonia with our kids and we were so enthusiastic that 5 years ago we decided to host ourselves to share the beauty of our Tuscany and exchange experiences . We had a very nice experience with a workawayer that she came back even last year.
In the surroundings you can see Florence, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Certaldo, Greve in Chianti, horse-ride, nearby, go to the beautiful seaside, attend cooking classes, and much more!
