My name is Bertrand, Swiss national, with my doggies Toby & Milo. In my fourties...enjoying a new peacefull life, I am looking for a creative, positive & easy going Helper; man or woman. The property named "Castelletto di Mondovile" is a 19th. century renovated hunting house located in the national park of Capanne di Marcarolo. On 15 closed hectares of land as fields, forests, maquis and river. (when there is still water before the hot summer.!) Located between Alessandria and Genova, 45 minutes to the sea. Mondovile is a fantastic paradis for who likes the peacefullness countryside, to be faraway of any urban noice...just the tranquillity of the forestland's animals and migration's birds.
I would be also happy to be able to go away from the house to ride my motobike, even for some days...so I am looking also for a person which could stay alone.
I have a very easy caracter, positive with a bit of out of mind ideas, I love to enjoy a peacefull life in the countryside with local people and friends. I unfortunately have physical issues, so looking for a same easy going person, kind & with a positive mind.
There is no direct electricity at the house...all is with gaz. But there is 4G phone and internet connextion...to charge I have a generator and generally the Workawayers are coming with a solar charger or battery.
I am looking for someone to cut wood for the winter, finish the paddock for a futur horse, small park for the goats, improving the chicken and ducks house, some house repairs and paintings.

Having lived 20 years all over the world teaching Hospitalty and English, now looking for a joyful and quiet life in Italy. Being a very happy and generally passionated person, I wish in the future to develop a project to open the property to the public: project for local people and tourists with art sculptures exhibited all through the property ( free entrance).
Need to finish a outside horse paddock wood fence and goats park. Cut of dead trees of the property near the house, same time cutting wood for the winter time. Maintenance of the inside property entrance road and river, main house improvments. As I wish to open from this year part of the property for outside people practicing trekking or biking, for them to enjoy or relax some time with the house animals...as our goats, patos and futur picocks.
