I'm a 22 year old boy who runs a nice farmhouse in Tuscany, near Montepulciano, with my family and staff.
The farmhouse, located in a beautiful position, on a hill of the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, sunflower fields and lakes, it's one of the most famous in the area.
We produce DOC red wine, extra virgin olive oil and honey; from September we will start shipping.
The farmhouse is located near UNESCO heritage sites (Montepulciano, Val d'Orcia, Assisi, Siena) and many other famous cities and countries (Florence, Pienza, Montalcino, Perugia, Cortona, Città della Pieve, Rome, Castiglione del Lago, Orvieto).
We host people from all over the world (United States, China, Canada, Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Austria ...) and we are always fully booked since we open (April 22th) when we close (October 30th).
Because of my studies, this year I will not always be present, so I'm looking for a boy/girl who can help us with guests, wine, garden care and apartments cleaning.

We live 4 km from the farmhouse, in a small village in the countryside, small but equipped with all services such as supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bar, gym and much more.
In the summer it's very hot and it almost never rains.
You will live in our house and sleep in the guest room.
You will eat with us and you will eat very well indeed. From meat to homemade pasta, we are very attentive to food. We only eat organic and healthy foods that often come from our area. The Mediterranean diet is full of typical dishes that will leave you entranced.
In Castiglione del lago there are many bonfires and parties along the lake.
You can go out with my friends, go to the cinema, to the gym, visit museums and cities of art. In your free time you can do whatever you want. There are many bus schedules and a train station to quickly reach Rome, Florence and the other cities.
