Hello! We are a family of three and we live in a restored farmhouse in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany, only 6 kms to the Mediterranean sea. Our house is immeresed in the olive groves and vineyards, the garden is overlooking the ancient village of Castagneto Carducci.
I run a cooking school that I opened almost 15 years ago to spread the traditional-Italian cuisine in Italy and abroad. I like to share is the HOME FOOD, the old traditional recipes, to use and emphasize seasonal products.
During May, June, Sept and Oct I'll be very busy teaching cooking classes and I will need help in the kitchen, cooking, help with the tourists, house chores, help out in the garden. During the other months I also work on different house projects, including painting (indoors and outdoors), priming/plastering, gardening and general upkeep of the house.
I have a nice 21 years old daughter, a french husband who loves ice cream and wine, 1 dog and 2 cats. We are all easy going and poeple persons.
The area where I live is famous for wine and biking and if we have time we would love to bike with you ! If you want to share your life with me and my family contact us and we'll give you more information !
