    Description

    My name is Berangere, I am a lovely French lady living in the picturesque countryside of Umbria in central Italy. My home was originally intended to be a B&B, but it has evolved into holiday apartment rentals and it is currently on the market.

    I work as a language trainer in a language school during the day, so I need some help to manage my large property especially the garden.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I am a mother tongue French speaker and I also speak English and Italian fluently, so if you are a person who loves languages and would like to practice I am the host for you. I have years of experience teaching French and English, so for those really serious about improving I can give feedback and tips on how to improve your language skills (including Italian).

    I am passionate about freshly cooked food and as a French woman who has lived in Italy for more than 30 years, I can share both French and Italian recipes with workawayers.

    I also belong to a small network of local hosts with whom I am happy to link up with socially, letting my new workaway friends meet other hosts and fellow workawayer.

    *️ Trimming trees & bushes
    *️ Cutting down small trees
    *️ Mowing the lawn
    *️ Weeding
    *️ repairing fences/trellises
    *️ Clearing leaves & other debris form footpaths and patios

    In the house there are some small maintenance jobs to be done by those who have the skills:

    *️ Fixing down loose tiles
    *️ Small plastering patch ups
    *️ Refreshing paintwork
    *️ Repairing handles and other small sundry jobs

    Computers/Internet/technology:

    *️ Help with promoting the sale of my property on Social media

    Also if you are a good photographer, I REALLY need fantastic new photos of my property.

    Then any extra help with cleaning, reorganising storage and cooking would be greatly appreciated.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Due to the fact that my property is made up of different apartments, I am able to give the workawayer a lot of privacy and their own space. There are a few options avail depending on tourist occupancy and the temperature (I want you guys to be cosy in the winter and cool in the summer).

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The property is on the edge of a tiny village in rural Umbria. There re local buses going into Marsciano & Todi, but only in the morning. I can always help you get back in the evening.

    There are buses to Perugia & Terni from Marsciano, Todi & Fratta Todina.
