  Description

  Hi! We are a family of five, with three boys (aged 12, 22, and 25) and a very sweet Golden Retriever named River. As a family, we love discovering new cultures, and through hospitality, we hope to inspire in our boys a curiosity for the world and the joy of discovering its most beautiful side. We are looking for someone who can give us a hand with the garden and help out with small maintenance tasks and cleaning around the house. An extra pair of hands would be truly appreciated!
  Please note: we have one non-negotiable rule! One evening, we will all cook together a typical dish from your home country ;-) It’s our favorite way to swap cultures and share a great meal!!!

  What else ...

  We live in a little village called Cazzago San Martino (BS), in the beautiful vineyards area of Franciacorta, 20 min by lake Iseo, 30 by Bergamo, 20 min by Brescia. There is a train station that can bring you straight to Brescia in 15 min and to Milan (1h30 min). The closest airport in the area is Bergamo (Orio al Serio) a beautiful city just 30 min by car. In the weekend you can easily reach any city you like nearby but if you like nature we love to take long walks in the vineyards along the rolling hills or have an ice cream by the lake.
