    Description

    There is a shady and sleepy garden among the Tuscan hills where harmony reigns in a magical "no time".

    What was once a chicken coop has over time become a modest country house sheltered by trees which at the same time plays the role of an unusual laboratory or museum of unfinished projects, it is all 'perfectly messy' (perhaps too much so) after all it is from chaos from which everything originated.

    Something about me... I am a open mind man (free interpretation) too young to be old and too old to be young and I confess that I feel good in this. I suffer of a serious obsession called creativity and I belive in the tales and legends...
    Theoretically I live alone but it's the opposite and in any case it's the kind of life I've always wanted!
    A sage said once that: If you are sad it´s because you live in the past; If you are anxious it´s because you live in the future; I you are quiet and serene it´s because you live in the present. The past may be a carrier of remorse, the future carrier of anticipation. Both feelings deter happiness. The present gives you freedom of action at the right moment, without regret, without anticipation. Is for this I live for the day.

    I need help and not additional work so you will need to be as independent as possible. I'm looking for rustic guys, very easy going and in good shape. The situation is spartan - there is no swimming pool or tennis court - but wonderful, breathtaking sunsets.

    I don't have the financial means to satisfy everyone's desires... So those with "special needs" remember to bring them with you. So you'll be sure to find what you looking for...
    We eat what we have... no personalized diets.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Areas rich in history and splendid natural environments, unfortunately difficult to reach without their own means of transport. There is a bus service just 30 meters from the house but they are limited in the countryside. Better if you have a driving license.
