Accommodation
A double room of their own in the house.
What else ...
I have wifi. Trains to Milan/ Genova, wherever are reached at a station 20 minutes from here.. I'm happy to give lifts to the station.. There is a bus service to Gavi, our nearest market town, 7 klms away.. I have had people from "Trusted House sitters" stay, but they both tell me its more a working holiday, than just house sitting.. I'm pretty laid back.. just need assistance with the day to day cleaning..
Gavi has a small market each Sunday morning and Novi Ligure a town half an hour away has a fairly large market on a Thursday morning.
The fast train to Genova takes half an hour, a city worth a visit :)
The village of Parodi is in the country, views of vineyards and hills..
Wonderful walks

To be left "In Charge" for a young person can be daunting, but you managed extremely well.. I'd be happy to recommend you :)
She was really kind, talking was easy from the first moment on. The work is not too much, but of course has to be done. Most of it is cleaning and in winter heating. So day to day routine. Nevertheless you… read more
